adventures of mascarah.

I've just begun a new decade. Sigh.

I have always wanted to be "a writer" but I'm lost somewhere in the prologue...whittling away at a story I may never tell.

Likes: pop culture. my chihuahua. architecture. modern art. elizabeth street. contemporary designer apparel. food. travel. foreign films. speakeasys. live music. politics. hot sauce. surprises. running in the rain. strangers. wednesdays. fearlessness...and 100s of other random things... maybe even you.

A southerner by birth, northerner by the grace of God, I'm simply a nyc gal who is lost somewhere on my constant exploration of the city and the life,love, and pursuit found within it.

[Life: Make] The Perfect Chicken Sandwich

Want to pack a lunch that takes you under 15 minutes to make and will still taste yummy by the time lunch time rolls around?

On Sunday night marinade your chicken breast (do this the night before) in vegetable oil, thyme, garlic, salt, and pepper and a dash of paprika. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Take out of marinade and then dusted with cornmeal and put on a baking sheet. Bake for 7 minutes each side. While chicken is cooking, take out 2-3 slices of thick cut bacon and cook in veggie oil in a pan (can cook in advance as well and store overnight). Chop up lettuce, jalapenos, and a beefy tomato. Toast a roll or wheat bread. Place the cooked chicken on the roll/bread, add a dash of mustard/sirarcha (and mayo if you’re into that thing) add, bacon, some lettuce, tomato, jalapeno & a few slices of pickle for dessert. Awesome with traditional potato chips.

Delicious.
