comfort food all around
Food for the body:
While the boneless chicken breasts are still a little frozen, slice them into inch-thick cutlets. After fully thawed, pound them lightly with a meat tenderizer until they are evenly a half inch thick. Dredge in egg and breadcrumbs and brown on each side in a hefty fry pan. Drain on paper towels. (or, as my grandmother did, on clean paper grocery bags!)
Place in single layers into a shallow casserole. Cover generously with tomato sauce and then mozzarella cheese. Top with grated parmesan and chopped parsley.
Bake at 350 degrees until cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
Food for the soul:
The Valley of Vision
Lord, high and holy, meek and lowly, Thou hast brought me to the valley of vision, where I live in the depths but see Thee in the heights; hemmed in by mountains of sin I behold Thy glory. Let me learn by paradox that the way down is the way up, that to be low is to be high, that the broken heart is the healed heart, that the contrite spirit is the rejoicing spirit, that the repenting soul is the victorious soul, that to have nothing is to possess all, that to bear the cross is to wear the crown, that to give is to receive, that the valley is the place of vision. Lord, in the daytime stars can be seen from deepest wells, and the deeper the wells the brighter Thy stars shine; let me find Thy light in my darkness, Thy life in my death, Thy joy in my sorrow, Thy grace in my sin, Thy riches in my poverty, Thy glory in my valley.

My dad gave me some perch that I'm bringing home tonight. Do you think your chicken recipe will work for them? Sounds yummy.
