When I dressed today, something happened to me; My mother's hand came out of my sleeve. It made me look back at the years gone by, And it's true what they say: time does fly.
I remember my youth and my childhood days, Following Mother, imitating her ways. I loved playing dress-up and wearing her shoes, Which still don't fit, 'cause my feet never grew!
Mom was charming, friendly, and capable, too. There wasn't a thing that she couldn't do. She was president of this and chairman of that; It would be a tough job to follow her act.
My life passed by in a blur, it seems, Through all of the stages right up to my teens, Where every week brought a crisis or trauma; Yet, through it all, I could count on my mama.
Then it seems I just blinked and I was all grown, Married with children and a home of my own. Raising daughters was a major concern; There's no manual for motherhood-just live and learn.
Watching my girls made Mother think back, And she cringed if I scolded or gave fingers a smack. It amused me to note, as she's let out a moan, What was fine for Mom's child was too harsh for my own!
Laughing and loving as my daughters grew, Each stage of their lives was like deja vu; Only I was the one car-pooling each day, Leading the Scouts and the PT A.
In a flash they were grown; how'd it happen so fast? Graduation, college, marriage-all past. So, daughters of mine, heed these words and believe: Someday soon my hand will come out of your sleeve!

Chicken Marsala
Recipe By :Sandy
Serving Size : 4 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Chicken
Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
4 chicken breasts -- boneless skinless, pounded thin
1/4 cup flour -- spread on a plate
1 teaspoon Italian salad dressing -- dry packet (optional)
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound mushrooms -- fresh or 2 cans
1 onion -- sliced or chopped 1 red or green pepper, sliced
2 cloves garlic -- sliced or a tablespoon of minced
3 tablespoons butter
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups Marsala wine -- (Bought at Miracle Mart)
1 can Chicken Stock
small amount heavy whipping cream -- (enough to make a creamy gravy)
Heat olive oil in large saute pan over medium-high heat.
To make it easier to clean up, I put the flour, salt, pepper, and dry Italian salad dressing in a resealable plastic bag, then added the pounded chicken and shook it up (one breast at a time) to coat. It's just easier and cleaner that way.
When the oil is hot, dredge both sides of the chicken breasts in flour, shake off excess flour and place in pan. Saute chicken, turning once, until lightly browned on both sides. Transfer the chicken to a plate.
Drain all but a little bit of the oil and add mushrooms, garlic, red pepper and onions. Saute until the mushrooms begin to release their juices.
Add the Marsala wine, and scrape loose with a wooden spoon all browning residues on the bottom and sides of the pan. Cook to reduce about 30 minutes.
Add butter, salt and pepper. Add a small amount of heavy cream and chicken stock. Thicken with a mixture of cornstarch and water.
Place the chicken breasts back in the pan and bring to a simmer and cook on low until heated through about 15 minutes. (or place in a casserole dish pour the wine mixture over chicken and bake in a 350 degree oven for about 15 minutes.) Transfer the chicken breasts to warm serving plates, pour sauce over them and serve.
