[NAGDU] Yappy Hour: Welcome to my kitchen!

Sat May 30 16:21:34 UTC 2020

Dear Friends,

	One of Merry's and my favorite things to do is to have friends over
to our home while I play in the favorite room of our house - my kitchen.
>From my kitchen, I can be a part of everything going on in the house,
whether in the dining room, florida room, or the living room, I can be a
part of the gathering from my kitchen. Of course, the favorite place to be
for those n the know is around the bar where they have the limited
opportunity to sample what everyone else will enjoy a little later! I would
love to have all of you over to my home for dinner; however, distance and
some little bug is keeping this from happening live. Nonetheless, I would
like to invite you to join me this afternoon while I play in my kitchen!
Come gather around my bar and let's get yappy!

	One of my wife's favorite soups is served by a locally famous
establishment named "Beef O'Brady's" - Chicken Poblano Soup. Last night I
found a recipe and just got back home from buying what I need to make a
version of this dish....or bowl! If you would like to make it with me or are
inspired to try it at a later time, here is the recipe:

Chicken Poblano Soup

3 poblano peppers
3 chicken breasts bone in and skin on
1 teaspoon kosher salt divided
1/4 teaspoon coarse black pepper
2 tablespoons canola oil
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup flour
8 cups chicken broth
16  ounces roasted corn frozen
2 15 oz. cans black beans 
2 red bell peppers diced finely
2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1 cup shredded pepper jack cheese
1 lime juiced
2 tablespoons ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 cup half and half or heavy cream
1 jalapeño thinly sliced

Method
1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
2. Season the poblano pepper and chicken with the canola oil, half the salt
and pepper and put onto a baking sheet lined with foil.
3. Roast for 25 - 30 minutes or until peppers are charred and chicken is
cooked through.
4. While the food is roasting start the soup by adding in the butter and
flour into a large stockpot.
5. Cook the mixture while whisking for about 1 minute
6. Add the chicken broth.
7. Bring the mixture to a light boil then add in the corn, black beans and
red bell peppers and let it simmer for 15 minutes
 while the food finishes in the oven.
8. Shred the chicken, deseed the peppers, and dice the poblano peppers
adding them to the soup.
9. Add in the remaining salt, cheddar and pepper jack cheese, lime juice,
cumin, cayenne, and cream.
10. Stir until melted and combined and garnish with jalapeños before
serving.

	As is true with any soup, a crusty, absorbent bread is also a must!
On my way home this morning, I dropped by our local Latin American
supermarket where I picked up the poblano peppers and two loaves of freshly
baked Cuban bread. *It was still hot! That will soak up the broth just fine!
Read on for directions to my kitchen!

Fraternally yours,
Marion

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the
characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise
expectations because low expectations create barriers between blind  people
and our dreams. You can live the life you want! Blindness is not what holds
you back.

Hello everyone. Please share where appropriate. It is almost time for 
another Yappy hour, sponsored by the National Association of Guide Dog 
Users. We will be meeting this coming Saturday, May 30, starting at 3 
p.m. eastern time. That calculates to 2 p.m. central Time, 1 p.m. 
mountain time, and 12 noon Pacific time. If you live in other parts of 
the world, please check the timezone accordingly. The meeting will last 
for approximately two hours -- Although we have been, on occasion, known 
to go a little longer.

We would love to meet in person and hang out, but distance and a few 
other life-factors prevent this from happening. Therefore, we will meet 
on the popular Zoom platform. Connecting to the Zoom session is very

traditional phone call. The connection information is below.
