The Famous Lemon Chicken
Famous Lemon Chicken
Ingredients:
- Chicken cutlets
- Flour
- Paprika
- Butter (or margarine, etc)
- Chicken bouillon
- Lemon juice
- Put the butter in a frying pan until the bottom is well coated and put it on medium-high heat
- While the butter is heating up trim the chicken cutlets into smaller pieces, they really shouldn't be too thick because the pieces will take longer to cook
- Mix the flour with paprika until the flour is a light pink
- Coat each piece of chicken in the flour and place in the pan
- Cook the chicken so that both sides are a light golden color
- If you have a lot of pieces cook a few at a time and placed the already cooked pieces in a covered bowl
- Once all the chicken is cooked, lower the heat, add some more butter to the pan and pour in some lemon juice and chicken bouillon
- Continue adding more butter, lemon juice (or water if the lemon flavor is too strong), and bouillon (or leftover paprika flour if the chicken flavor is too strong) until the sauce has the consistency and flavor you want
- Put the all the chicken back in the pan so that it's coated in the sauce
- Serve and enjoy!
The End of an Era
With fire under their bums and a craving for calzones, the ladies of copa swooped in to grab a final bite at this beloved institution, only to be recieved with a 3 hour wait on its final saturday night. Needless to say the ladies left hungry and disappointed. Never Fear, Pho 75 saved the day!
P.S. We also encountered a very interesting kid err gentleman sporting a crackberry - turns out he was a reporter...who knew?!
(Copyright 2007 by The Associated Press. All Rights Reserved.)WASHINGTON (AP) - It's been a DC institution, where celebrities and Supreme Court justices have enjoyed pizza and pasta with plain folks for more than half
a century.
Now, the AV Ristorante Italiano is closing its doors for the last time Saturday night.
As much as its food, the place is known for its decor -- including a marble fountain of Neptune and suit of armor -- and its famously surly waiters.
The owners -- two brothers who took the business over from their parents -- have sold their property, at Sixth Street and New York Avenue Northwest. Developer Douglas Jema plans to put up an office building. They won't specify the price, but say it's between 18 million and 20 million dollars.
Among those stopping by to say good-bye in the final week: Congressman Dennis Hastert and Justice Antonin Scalia.

Busboys and Poets
For our first ever- copa only date, the roommates gathered to shove their heads full of .... political literature of course! (And greek salad) This cozy little coffee house/bookstore in the up and coming U street neighborhood is straight out of San Fran, only this coffee house serves a piping hot political brew - no artificial sweeteners. The fare is exactly what you would expect from a cosi's but the crowd was far more delicious, from the young trendy activists to the local folk, everyone was there to recharge in the most complete sense of the word. It's no wonder Hillary and Obama hold their regroup sessions here!

Pho 75
Pho was an absolute success. This restaurant definately deserved to be on Washingtonian's list of best cheap eats. The whole meal including a drink only cost each of us around $7.50. Although the decor leaves a little to be desired, we highly encourage everyone to head out there.
