Chicken Tetrazzini

May 30, 2010 - 9:45 PM

So, a couple of weeks ago, Collin showed me a Youtube clip from the television show Maury. It was a particularly juicy one.

The clip showed a young woman who was accusing her best friend and her boyfriend of cheating on her together.

One of her many accusations was that the best friend was winning Paul over with the cunning use of chicken tetrazzini.

"I don' know what she do wit that chicken tetrazzini, but Pauloveit!" she says.

Yes. Pauloveit is one word.

Anyway, I thought that if that was the case. If one girl could steal away another girl's guy by cooking up a batch of chicken tetrazzini, then I must see what all the fuss is about.

Acutally, I had never even heard of chicken tetrazzini until Collin showed me that video. So I had to Google it before I could even start conceiving the making of said dish.

It looked great. Mushrooms and chicken with a cheesy sauce, mmmmm...I couldn't wait to get my hands on a chopping knife and get started on the project. But unfortunately, I did have to wait. Collin and I didn't want to buy every single ingredient in order to start the process, so we waited to come home to start cooking it up.

His mom had more than enough of the ingredients, so all we needed were a few odds and ends.
The night went pretty smoothly; Anne, Collin's mom, and I cooked diligently for about two hours and by 8:20, dinner was served.

I can't tell you how disappointed I was. It was a flavorless casserole of fattening bore. It was a huge waste of calorie intake. But, as if we cared, at least we know now that the girl's boyfriend wasn't stolen by chicken tetrazzini; it must have been... something else.
