Curried Orange Chicken, Parmesan Onions, Potatoes Hannah  6 medium potatoes 1/2 cup melted butter Peel and slice potatoes very thin.  Immediately toss slices in melted butter, coating all over so they won't turn brown.  Arrange buttered slices in layers of overlapping circles in generously greased shallow casserole, salting and peppering each layer.  Bake in 350F oven for 45 mintues. Serves 4.

Curried Orange Chicken, Parmesan Onions, Potatoes Hannah 2 large sweet Spanish onions 3 tbsp butter 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese Peel and chop onions.  In saucepan, cook onions in butter over low heat until onions are tender but not brown.  Turn onions into small shallow casserole and sprinkle with cheese.  Put under broiler only long enough to melt cheese or put casserole in 350F oven just until cheese melts, about 5 minutes. Serves 4.

1 green or red sweet pepper 2 tbsp butter 4 whole chicken breasts, halved ground cumin Cut pepper in half.  Core and remove seeds and slice into thin strips.  Heat butter in large skillet over medium-high heat.  Sprinkle each breast half with a pinch of cumin.  Saute breasts for about 3 minutes on each side, or until lightly browned.  Turn breasts, add pepper strips and reduce heat to medium-low.  Cook, stirring often, until breasts are tender, about 5 minutes on each side.  Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Serves 4

3 cups orange juice 1 cup white wine 2 thin orange slices 4 mint sprigs Put ice cubes in 4 tall glasses.  In pitcher, mix orange juice and white wine.  Fill glasses.  Garnish with half an orange slice and a mint sprig.
