OPSEC - Navy Operations Security

Always keep Navy Operations Security in mind. In the Navy, it's essential to remember that "loose lips sink ships." OPSEC is everyone's responsibility.

DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.

DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

Comment by Storymom on June 10, 2016 at 2:15pm: Chicken, Wine & Artichokes

not so sure about the capers? but I'd add mushrooms & some chicken broth--so it's a bit saucier? newleafwellness.biz

2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 can of artichokes (14oz), quartered & drained
1 can of diced tomatoes (14.5oz), undrained
Juice of 1 lemon
1/2 cup dry white wine
3-4 cloves of garlic, sliced or minced
1/4 cup butter
1 tablespoon capers (optional)
1 tablespoon corn starch

Place all ingredients EXCEPT corn starch in crockpot.
Cook on “low” setting for 4-6 hours, or until chicken is cooked through. Add corn starch & cook on “low” for additional 30 minutes or until sauce is desired thickness.
Serve over a bed of Angel Hair Pasta or sautéed spinach.

Comment by MN Mom of MM on June 2, 2016 at 4:04pm: When my son was home on leave before deployment with the USS Eisenhower, we had a combined retirement,65th birthday, and Kids are home party. I made this hotTurkey for sandwiches, and it disappeared.

HOT TURKEY SANDWICH

1 Turkey breast split in half (about 8 pounds)

1 package dry (lipton) soup mix

1 stick butter (chunked)

1 can beer

Put all ingredients in crock pot and cook on low for 8-9 hours remove turkey and shred and put back in crock pot with the juice and serve on buns.

The only thing I would have done different was to add a couple turkey thighs or hind quarters to have some dark meat mixed in, and then maybe I would have had some for left overs. It sure was good and easy.

I gotta try this! Crock Pot Apple Butter??! (makes 3 pint jars) From www.food.com

Place apples in slow cooker in thirds, layering sugar between each layer.
Add rest of ingredients on top and pack down
Cover & cook on high for 1 hour.
Reduce heat to low. Give it a stir. Keep covered & cook 8 hours or until thick & dark-brown, stirring occasionally. (You can do this overnight, then finish it in the morn.)
Uncover & cook for the last hour still on low.
Puree in blender for a smoother apple butter.
Place in sterile jars with lids & process for 10 minutes in hot water bath or you can freeze.

Ingredients:

5 lbs apples, peeled and finely sliced
3 cups sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
¹⁄₄ teaspoon ground cloves
¹⁄₄ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¹⁄₄ teaspoon salt
