Five Point Friday

From the Blog and Minds of SB&K Benefits, L.L.C.

I think I'm sitting in their spot. Waiting for dove, Chappell Hill, TX.
Howdy! 
 
Here is your weekly dose of Five Point Friday - a list of what I'm learning, enjoying, pondering, or reading. 
What I'm reading ---- "Colorado's Fourteeners From Hikes to Climbs" So I mentioned before that one of my goals for next summer is to tackle some "fourteeners" (14,000 foot mountain peaks) in Colorado. I've narrowed it down to 3 near Durango - called the "Windom Group" - the Windom Peak, Sunlight Peak and Mount Eolus. If you've done these or been on these trails, please shoot me an email, I'd love to chat.
What I'm listening to ----  "Planet Money - How to make it in the Music Business" a short podcast on how people are making money in the music business. There are artists that are selling snippets of music - imagine 40 different single taps on a snare drum - and making six to seven-figure incomes. The way music is made is changing, and artists use these snippets to build songs you hear on today's radio stations. Fascinating.

Work Stuff ---- "Kiplinger - Customers get a Break on Medical Debt". I've seen this many times - an insured has a medical claim that takes forever to get paid, a claim dispute, or a provider never sends a bill or sends it to a wrong address. Next thing you know, the insured is getting calls from a debt collection agency. Well now, the major credit rating agencies are extending the timeframe of negative reporting and other positive actions to help the insured/patient.
What I'm eating ---- Cubano Chicken (Pickle, Ham, and Swiss Chicken Roll Ups

INGREDIENTS:

  • 4 (1 lb) thin boneless chicken cutlets
  • 1 1/4 cups pickle juice (enough to cover chicken)
  • 4 teaspoons deli mustard
  • 2 oz thin sliced reduced sodium deli ham
  • 2 oz shredded Swiss cheese
  • 1-2 dill pickles, sliced very thin lengthwise, dried on paper towel (I used a mandolin)
  • olive oil spray

For the breading:

  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 1/3 cup seasoned breadcrumbs
  • 1/3 cup seasoned panko*
  • cooking spray
DIRECTIONS:
  1. Place chicken in a shallow bowl and cover with pickle juice (enough to cover completely). Marinate in the refrigerator 8 hours.
  2. After 8 hours, drain and dry the chicken completely on paper towels; discard marinade.
  3. Preheat oven to 425F. Spray a baking sheet with oil.
  4. Spread 1 teaspoon of mustard over each piece of chicken.
  5. Layer the ham on top, then the Swiss cheese and pickles along the center and roll.
  6. Place egg in a medium bowl.
  7. In a shallow bowl, combine the bread crumbs and panko. Dip chicken in the egg wash, then into the breadcrumb mixture and shake off excess.
  8. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet and spray the top generously with oil. Bake 25 minutes, until golden outside and cooked through.
