We made it to southern Utah and it only took about 11 hours and 15 minutes. Wow, what a long time to be in the car! It’s hot here but everything looks great. If you have never been to this part of the states, I would suggest a visit. The national and state parks are gorgeous and the hiking is great. It is hot in the summer but at least it is not humid.

Since it is our first day here it seems like a Chicken Monday even though it’s Wednesday. We have a rather large chicken breast in the freezer that will be enough for the two of us so John fires up the immersion circulator.

My job is to reheat the leftover rice from Mr. Kabob, char up some lemon slices, and steam the broccoli. John makes a little sauce with some lemon juice, white wine, chicken drippings, and butter. We are happy celebrating our first night here with a winner, winner, chicken dinner.
