Masterpiece!) 1 medium sweet onion , sliced 4 -6 hamburger buns  Directions:Prep Time: 10 minsTotal Time: 1/2 day 1 Remove all visible fat from the chicken and toss it in the crock pot. 2 Place the onion slices on top of the chicken. 3 Pour the barbecue sauce over top. 4 You may not need the entire jar, just enough to cover the chicken. 5 Cook it on LOW for 8 hours or until the chicken is nice and tender. 6 Shred the chicken with a fork and knife; scoop the mixture onto the bottom buns and top it with the top buns. 7 Or, if you're like my dad, you might prefer leaving the breasts whole and eating it that way. 8 Voila! 9 An easy weeknight meal that doesn't heat up your kitchen in the summertime!

quote of the week   "A perfect summer day is when the sun is shining, the breeze is blowing, the birds are singing, and the lawn mower is broken."-   James Dent     If you have a quote you think worthy, please email to me at info@casadante.com with your name and I will approve, post it here and give you mention!

Two stars, not bad! B H Fussell, of the NY Times described the then newly relocated Casa Dante "....like a boisterous Italian embrace....in a Fellini movie".    I agree with the comparison.
