Kitchen Challenge 2: Fun from the Freezer!

Tuesday April 10
We had spent a long day tramping around museums. Brian and Bob were spending a long day giving and attending lectures, and (so we assumed) going out to dinner afterwards. We had had a nice big lunch at the Sansom Street Oyster House (excellent as ever), and didn't feel much like going out. So we raided Brian and Bob's freezer, found a package of Trader Joe's lobster ravioli, and cranked up the gas. We were just about to toss the ravels in butter and cheese when B&B walked in, exhausted from giving and attending lectures, and not feeling much like going out. So an impromptu dinner began. We raided the freezer again, found four (so no ugly fights) Trader Joe's skinless boneless chicken bosoms, and while they were defrosting, had the ravels as appetizers. Then sprinkled the bosoms with some fresh rosemary + S&P, sautéed them in butter; splash of wine; cover. Meanwhile steamed some frozen Trader Joe's green beans, and threw oil and vinegar on some Trader Joe's baby arugula salad mix. The sauce didn't even need to be reduced, so we monte-ed au beurre, tossed some butter on the beans, and served forth to serve four. Did we mention Trader Joe's? B&B obviously love Trader Joe's, and so do we.
