Deliciously Easy + Impressive Recipe... Chicken Fennel & Artichoke Fricasse
I made this recipe for the second time last night... It's the kind of dish I love to cook because the delicate, but intense flavors and unique ingredients make it feel very special, yet it's totally straightforward & simple.
It's the type of meal I could imagine having at an old farmhouse table in a modest French chateau in Provence... in the early spring or fall. :)
Plus I really love the fact that it's hearty home cooking and quite healthy at the same time!
I got it from Martha Stewart Living back in April... Her recipes rarely dissapoint me. The only thing I changed was instead of using a whole chicken, I used chicken thighs. That worked great.
Enjoy!

Ivory Bar Soap -- Cleans Ultra-Suede!!!
Sometimes the classics just don't disappoint...
Ivory Bar Soap = Miracle Product to clean ultra-suede fabric...
I'd been searching the internet high and low to figure out how the clean my off white ultra-suede sofa for so long, I'd pretty much given up on finding a solution. There seemed to be no right answer, and everything I'd tried left strange 'water' spots and discolored rings on the cushions.
A couple weeks ago, I was passing by the Jennifer Convertibles, where I purchased this sofa about 5 years ago. I walked in and spoke to the guy on the floor. I asked him if they sold any special cleaners for their ultra-suede, or if he knew of any store that did? He said no, unfortunately.... Huh, damn...
So I asked him -- How do you clean your ultra-suede sofas in here then? His answer, Ivory Bar Soap and white cloth rags!
Miraculous. I thought this might just be too good to be true, but I went home and tried it exactly as he said: Warm water, white cloths and the bar of Ivory. I dipped the first cloth in the warm water, rubbed it on the soap bar and in a circular motion applied the soap mixture evenly over the whole cushion. Once the whole cushion was covered, I took another clean white dry cloth and made wiping motions both with and against the grain. No exact science...
Right away I could see the ultra-suede coming clean evenly without water spots!
I am amazed this worked and I couldn't be more thrilled with my new looking off white sofa! :)
Try it yourself, and let me know how it works...
