Oven-Baked Chicken Legs with White Wine Accompanied by Home-Style Ratatouille
This week we come back to the kitchen and share a double recipe. On the one hand, the ovenbaked chicken legs cooked with white wine and on the other hand a rich home-style Ratatouille served with a poached quail egg :-) As you can see, it is a very complete and exquisite recipe :-) And also, like all the dishes that we prepare, very easy to cook :-) It’s already time to share the recipe, with a special wish that you cook it and like it:
by Pilar Ruiz Text/US measures collaborated w/ Glenn Ferguson You can find more of her recipes at comomegustacocinar.blogspot.com
INGREDIENTS: For the home-style Ratatouille: -2 lbs 3 oz. (1 kilo) of red-ripe pear tomatoes -2 Zucchinis -1 Eggplant -2 green peppers -1 red pepper -1 onion -2 cloves of garlic -Salt -a pinch of sugar -1 quail egg per person
For the chicken legs: -8 chicken legs -2 cloves of garlic -1 pinch of dried oregano -1 pinch of dried thyme -4 tablespoons Sherry wine vinegar -4 tablespoons of white wine -1 lemon -2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil -Salt -Pepper
HOW TO PREPARE THE RATATOUILLE: * We are going to peel the tomatoes by first scalding them in boiling water. * Remove from the water, wait for them to cool down a little, and then peel them (the skin will come off very easily). Then dice them and reserve for later. * Dice all the vegetables. In an oiled pan on Low heat, we are going to cook all of them very slowly. We will start by first beginning to heat the harder vegetables, (red and green peppers) and continue with the more tender ones, the onion, garlic, zucchini and eggplant. * Then, when we see that the vegetables are cooked through, we will add the tomatoes and stir. * We will add salt, pepper and a pinch of sugar, and continue cooking over low heat for 30 more minutes. Once everything is cooked, we will keep it for later.
HOW TO PREPARE THE LEGS: * For our marinade, we are going to squeeze the lemon, strain the juice and pour it in a bowl. * Then we peel and chop the garlic cloves, add them to the lemon juice with the vinegar, white wine, thyme, oregano, a pinch of pepper and stir. * We now wash the chicken legs and dry them with paper towels.We will introduce them into the marinade and move them so that the marinade coats the chicken all over. * We will cover the dish with plastic wrap and leave them to marinate for at least 12 hours in the refrigerator. * Now preheat the oven to 355° F (180 ° C). Remove and drain the chicken from the marinade, reserving the marinade liquid. We will place the Legs in an ovenproof dish, season them with salt and pepper and drizzle them with the olive oil. * We bake them for 35-40 minutes, and we are going to brush them several times with the marinade while cooking. And now we are going to immediately serve them, quite hot, accompanied by our rich homemade Ratatouille. But first, with the Ratatouille ready to serve from the skillet, we will add one quail egg per person on top of the vegetables, cover it and let it cook for a few minutes until we see that they are ready, to your liking. We prefer them quite firm. Now you can see what how tasty this recipe will be :-) Happy week to you all.

reater love hath no man than this that a man lay down his life for his friends.” John 15:13 By implication, this quote from the Bible has been justifiably interpreted to include: “…and for his country.” In dedicating a Civil War battlefield to our nation´s fallen soldiers, both Union and Confederate,Abraham Lincoln very eloquently said, as part of his Gettysburg Address: “We have come to dedicate a portion of that field as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives, so that our nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this…. that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion—that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain….” This past Monday, Memorial Day was observed. Unfortunately, the significance of this very important day is becoming lost. Traditionally celebrated on the 30th of May and subsequently changed to the 4th Monday of May, it is unfortunately now being considered as something so insignificant and trivial as being the part of a three-day weekend which marks the unofficial start of Summer. The U.S.Veterans of Foreign Wars organization stated in a 2002 Memorial Day address that: “..changing the date merely to create a three-day weekend has undermined the very meaning of the day. No doubt, this has greatly contributed to the general public's nonchalant observance of Memorial Day.” Memorial Day is a national holiday in the United States for remembering the men and women who died while serving in our country´s armed forces. It should not to be confused with Veterans Day which celebrates the service of all U.S. military veterans. Memorial Day, which is now observed every year on the last Monday of May, was formerly known as Decoration Day and originated after the Civil War to commemorate the Union and Confederate soldiers who died in the war. By the 20th century, Memorial

On June 28, 1968, the U.S. Congress ed the Uniform Monday Holiday Act which ed four holidays, including Memorial Day, from r traditional dates to a specified Monday in orto create a convenient three-day weekend. This nge moved Memorial Day from its traditional May h date to the last Monday in May. ently, I spoke with a young, Spanish naval officer said that he personally envied the respect and iration that our military members, both living and eased, receive from the American public. I assured that the American public is very appreciative of r former and active military members, but that I ed that the youngest members of our society may osing that appreciation; perhaps, because of the that military conflicts have not touched their lives much as they have touched other American lives e past. There is no doubt that in recent armed flicts many young Americans have given the “last measure of devotion” to their country while servn the armed forces. I also have no doubt that the es suffered by their families are every bit as real traumatizing as they were in the past. To those lies, I extend my deepest sympathy and tell them their son´s or daughter´s sacrifice has not been otten this year. Somehow, however, it seems that ay´s young people, immersed in overwhelming technologies, have become distanced from the ty of war and from the sacrifices that have been eal for many of us. Perhaps, it is up to those of who do have vivid memories of flag-draped cofand gold-star mothers to step forward in order ducate our young people about their moral and iotic duty to never forget about these persons have unselfishly given their lives for our country. orthwestern France, at the Normandy American

IF EVER PROOF WERE NEEDED THAT WE FOUGHT FOR A CAUSE AND NOT FOR CONQUEST, IT COULD BE FOUND IN THESE CEMETERIES. HERE WAS OUR ONLY CONQUEST: ALL WE ASKED … WAS ENOUGH … SOIL IN WHICH TO BURY OUR GALLANT DEAD. General Mark W. Clark WE HAVE NOT FORGOTTEN, WE WILL NEVER FORGET, THE DEBT OF INFINITE GRATITUDE THAT WE HAVE CONTRACTED WITH THOSE WHO GAVE EVERYTHING FOR OUR FREEDOM. Rene Coty, President of the Republic of France Traditionally, on Memorial Day, the United States flag is raised briskly to the top of the staff and then solemnly lowered to the half-staff position, where it remains only until noon. It is then raised to the full-staff position for the remainder of the day. The half-staff position remembers the more than one million men and women who gave their lives in service of our country. At noon, their memory is raised by the living who have resolved not to let that sacrifice to have been in vain. And that´s what Memorial Day should be all about – “that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion” and that they “shall not have died in vain….” Let´s hope that we continue our tradition.

The view from CView by Karen Lucas
The Pet Crematory The Pet Crematory (Tanatorio de Animales Las Salinas) opened its doors this past January. It was founded because of the personal need experienced by its founders when they sought a place where they could give a worthy farewell to a pet. This is something every pet deserves because of the moral obligation we take on during their existence. A pet is a living being that we as owners need to feed, give veterinary care, train, entertain and give them love and attention; something they never deny us. A friend of mine recently suffered the loss of her dog and her veterinarian told her about the Pet Crematory. My friend was in a very distraught state when she arrived at the crematory but she assures me that the personnel were very attentive and kind. They spent a lot of time talking to her and were happy to show her the installation that is very clean and com-
was over my friend was given the ashes of her pet in an urn. She says the people at the Pet Crematory are professionals that know how to treat you and they show you affection.

They have a fleet of vehicles that guarantee good conservation of the body during the transport; Emergency Services.

They have a waiting room where you can bid farewell to your pet; The Pet Crematory offers two types of cremation: individual or group. If you choose the individual, you can receive an urn with the ashes. You can contact them at 956 548531 or through your vetenarian.
