I started using Swagbucks again and signed up for netflix!

I started using swagbucks as my home page again. I had a little under 1300 points with which I was able to redeem $10.00 Amazon gift cards.I haven't used swagbucks in a year so I was impressed that I still had an account with them. I found out that you can apply the gift cards to your amazon account which doesn't expire and you can have waiting for your next amazon purchase. I got 1000 swagbucks for signing up for netflix for one month trial period. if i decide to keep it, $7.99 a month for netflix.

Chicken Carbonara Alfredo with Broccoli

I roasted a whole chicken a few nights ago. I stuffed a couple of lemons and garlic cloves up it's bum and rubbed it with poultry seasoning. I made giblet gravy with the giblits, liver and a few hard boiled eggs too. The gravy was my favorite part. I shredded the leftover chicken tonite and used the creamy alfredo sauce packet that was in my cabinet. I threw in some bacon crumbles I keep in my freezer and some sliced mushrooms from Trader Joe's. I boiled some broccoli florets (on sale @ giant eagle) in the same sauce pan I later threw in some angel hair pasta. Dinner was made in less than 15 minutes!!! and cheap. So cheap.

PHO RECIPE

http://www.dadcooksdinner.com/2011/01/pressure-cooker-pho-bo-vietnamese-beef.html And, while I'm at it...Pho is pronounced "fuh" (rhymes with duh), not "faux" (rhymes with sew, a needle pulling thread). Here's an entertaining video explaining the difference. When it comes to cooking, Pho really is as simple as it seems. The complexity comes from the combination of the ingredients; if you have a good beef broth, the rest of Pho is easy. If you have a pressure cooker, it doesn't even take that much time. *If you don't make your own beef broth, then you really will have a Faux Pho.
