Yeah, the exact same meal from the last journal entry.
It took around fifteen minutes to trim and slice the boneless chicken breasts I used into smaller pieces, fifteen minutes to brown them, and then about twenty five minutes to make the sauce, which again, I quadrupled the amount of (some) ingredients for. I used another ten minutes to allow the meat to simmer (and sauce to thicken with added cornstarch), so in total it took about an hour and five minutes to make.
Much later on that same day, I made madeleines (little French butter cakes shaped as seashells) using this recipe.
The picture contains them seated on a cooling rack with wax paper underneath. I altered the recipe a bit and used lemon extract in them (along with the vanilla) and additionally made a lemon frosting for half of them. I actually didn't keep track of how long each process took, however when I finished I realized I had spent an hour and twenty minutes in total. This is truly only because I kept running back and forth and even counted the time I spent cleaning up afterwards. Also, I originally produced twelve madeleines, but apparently taking a picture of them was an after thought. By the time I did just that the other half were already packed in my mom's lunch bag for her to take to work with her the following day. Hah. ^^;
