my favourite dish / recipe

Let me tell you about my favourite dish. It is Chicken Alfredo. You need the following ingredients:
list of ingredients.

 

 

 

 

 

Ingredients

• salt
• 12 ounces fettuccine or pesto
• Olive oil, for tossing
• 12 ounces boneless, skinless chicken breast (about 2)
• Freshly ground black pepper
• 1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter
• 2 cups heavy cream
• 2 pinches freshly grated nutmeg
• 1 1/2 cups freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese

And this is how you prepare it:

Bring a large pot of water to a boil, and salt generously. Add the pasta, and boil according to package directions until al dente, tender but still slightly firm. Strain, and toss with a splash of oil.
Meanwhile, slice the chicken into 1/4-inch-thick strips, and lay them on a plate or a sheet of waxed paper. Season with salt and pepper.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat, and add 2 tablespoons of the butter. When the butter melts, raise the heat to medium-high and add the chicken in 1 layer. Cook, without moving the pieces, until the underside has browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip the pieces, and cook until browned and fully cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes more. Transfer the chicken to a medium bowl.
Reduce the heat to medium, and add the remaining 6 tablespoons butter. Scrape the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon to release any browned bits. When the butter has mostly melted, whisk in the cream and nutmeg and bring to a simmer, then cook for 2 minutes. Lower the heat to keep the sauce just warm.
Whisk the Parmigiano-Reggiano into the sauce. Add the chicken and cooked pasta, and toss well. Season with salt and pepper. Serve hot in heated bowls.

Black Friday

Black Friday is the day following Thanksgiving Day in the United States (the fourth Thursday of November).

Since 1932, it has been regarded as the beginning of the Christmas shopping season in the U.S., and most major retailers open very early (and more recently during overnight hours) and offer promotional sales. Black Friday is not an official holiday, it is,however, the busiest shopping day of the year.

For many years, it was common for retailers to open at 6:00 a.m., but in the late 2000s many had crept to 5:00 or 4:00. This was taken to a new extreme in 2011, when several retailers (including Target, Kohl's, Macy's, Best Buy, and Bealls^[11]) opened at midnight for the first time.

Unfortunately, there have been reports of violence occurring between shoppers.
