[NFBF-Tampa] Yappy Hour: Welcome to my kitchen!

Sat May 30 22:41:34 UTC 2020

Sorry I missed it. Unfortunately, I've been caught up watching the riots
occurring in this country. My heart is heavy. Our country is going backwards. I
hope that you had a great time. I would have enjoyed it.

Joy

P.S. Tomorrow little Vicky will turn two years old. I sometimes forget that she
is still a puppy. That is until I take her out in the yard and, rather than
"taking care of business", I find her lying on her side with a stick in her
mouth just wagging her tail.

I pray that all are safe and cherishing the flavors, smells and pleasures of
each day.

	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,

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 simple whether
