The Optimistic Futurist: Solar energy can reduce costs and climate risks
Think about how much you would be willing to pay for a life jacket of your very own as you and your child board the fishing boat.
How much? How much you would be willing to pay for one for yourself when the boat is sinking? For your child as the boat is sinking? I bet you got three different numbers. You recognized real value.
There are times when you are willing to pay almost anything to avoid catastrophe — but that is when it is staring you in the face, not when the danger seems remote.
Scientists believe that the upper safe limit of common greenhouse gasses in our atmosphere is 350 parts per million (ppm). This would result in a 3.6 degree worldwide average temperature rise (hotter in some spots, cooler in others) over decades. Surprisingly, last fall we hit 400 ppm, and emissions continue to grow, not shrink.
There is breaking news. The ocean appears to be losing its ability to absorb greenhouse gasses, which means more gas floating into the upper atmosphere, increasing the rate of climate change. In addition, polar ice is melting much more rapidly than predicted, releasing a lot of ancient greenhouse gas previously trapped under the ice, also adding to the rate of climate change.
We are headed into much more dangerous times sooner than had been predicted just a short time ago.
The updated prediction is that so much greenhouse gas is being produced that it will cause temperatures in parts of the Earth to rise 10 degrees by 2050. We are responsible for this state of affairs. This climate change is driven by the kind of energy we use.
One of the major impacts of making energy from coal, gas or oil is that this produces greenhouse gas. Conservation and solar energy don't.
Due to initial prices, people constructing large buildings often chose to build facilities that do not include conservation and solar, so the utility has to use greenhouse gas producing generators to supply the building.
After all, there is no apparent cost to the building owner if the utility dumps the greenhouse gasses into the sky.
I have written about the difference between "price" and "cost." Price is what you pay at the gas pump or electric meter. Cost is the total cost to society — it includes the polluted water and air, and the sick people harmed by the pollution. Cost also includes the greenhouse gasses created during the energy manufacturing process.
The scientists' latest announcements about climate change tell us that the bill for the total cost of energy is coming due — soon. Want to buy that life jacket? For your kid?
Fortunately, you can. From 2001 to 2012, the average retail price of electricity in the United States has increased 35 percent, while the average installed price of a large commercial scale solar electric system has dropped nearly 70 percent. New legal and business models have emerged. The pricing and financing terms have gotten so competitive that companies like Wal-Mart, Costco and Fed-Ex have made major strategic decisions to get their energy from the sun. For example, Wal-Mart has set a goal of obtaining 100 percent of its electrical energy from the sun over the next seven years and is hard at work doing just that. It is doing this because the price is lower than continuing business as usual, and the cost to society is eliminated.
In the education world, Scottsdale Unified Schools made a decision based on price to get its power from solar — at 7 cents a kilowatt hour. To buy it from the utility would have cost 11.5 cents. And while reducing costs, they're also reducing environmental risks for kids' futures.
The bottom line is that under existing regulations, anyone planning a large public or private building can now finance renewable energy systems under terms that save them money now and in the future, while increasing the safety of the next generations. When the cost of buying the life jacket for future generations is now a good business decision, failure to do so is bad management — and poor stewardship.
As a society, we are past the economic argument, and are now into the moral one.
You can help protect your family by showing this column to decision-makers in your community. To locate companies that do these large-scale systems at these prices, simply Google "commercial solar installers" or reach out to the Solar Energy Industry Association at www.seia.org.
Or send me an email. I have grandkids — I understand.

Women who worked under Mitt Romney when he was Governor of Massachusetts are speaking out against the latest "binders full of women" faux controversy. As Romney said during the presidential debate Tuesday night, he had more women in high power positions during his time as governor than any other governor in the country, yet liberals are desperately trying to continue their pathetic "war on women" meme.
"He totally gets working women, especially working women like myself who had two young kids," Ellen Roy Herzfelder, a former state secretary of environmental affairs, says in the 30-second ad.

The Lango: A Nilotic Tribe of Uganda
This 1923 study of the Lango people of north-central Uganda narrates the origins and history of the group, which had a form of government based on minor clan chiefs, rather than a king or superior chief, before the arrival of the British rule. Jack Herbert Driberg (1888–1946) was a British official in the service of the Uganda Protectorate in 1912–21 and lived and worked among the Lango, for whom he had both sympathy and admiration. He describes the ethnology of the Lango nation; their environment, including the fauna ...

Best tip I know of; Don't drive yourself nuts!
Yeah! There are so many different tuning procedures and everybody and their brother having a article or their way doing it.
Basic tuning - probably the best for alround for getting the bow shooting reasonably darn good. Most would be good right here and forget the rest.
Walk Back tuning; Fairly nice, short distance and gets the job done darned well. I use it for most all my customer and myself. 10 ft and 30 yards is what I use. ??? I think it was my 2010 Shadowcat I did this with and I won a novelty shoot, 2" clay disc at 53 yards. Drilled that sucker twice.
Modified French Tuning; Probably works, but I got started with the full French tuning procedure and never checked out the Modififed version.
French Tuning Procedure; Notably the finest tuning procedure for setting center shot. 9 feet to out where you can still hit with the same pin. I can usually keep on a target butt out to 55 and 60 yards. The longer the distance the more perfect center shot is. Shot Outdoor and Field for 3 years and placed and won my fair share of times. Have link if anyone is interested.
Yoke tuning; I tune a yoke for cam lean, not fine tuning something I don't need fine tuned. See next.
Kitchen Sink tuning; Glanced over this the other night. Lord have mercy. To me this is yoke tuning, but for other reasons. Why would you tinker with the yoke when you tinkered with it to eliminate cam lean? Ain't saying it doesn't work, just why drive yourself nuts?
Bare shaft tuning; I'd rather take my wife shopping. This works, but having spoke with technicians that do this for a living, I'd not need it. First, bare shaft tuning is better done with the arrow weighted in the area of where the vanes will be with the same weight of the vanes (Scotch or electrical tape). Techs told me they have shot accurately out to 60 yards (2" groups).
Paper tuning; Works, but figure it one step towards fine tuning your bow. I will not paper tune for someone. I will help them with adjustments, but that's it. Okay, my natural shooting is not the same as others. I paper tune and get great results and the owner takes the bow home, shoots through paper and rips it to shreds. So; "That bow mechanic down there doesn't know what he's doing!"
Super tuning; Normally this is someone getting best performance from a bow. People send bows out for this. Duh? See Paper tuning. Yep, I can crank a few more rpms out of a bow, but how much do you want to pay for it? And if something goes wrong, dropped, new rest, different arrow, different draw lenght, you want to pay for another Super Tune?

Suicide Rust Bucket
My name is Splat. Or it was, at least. That used to be the name of my main in World of Warcraft but I haven't played that character in over a year.
Ask me anything
This blog used to mostly be screen caps from WoW and Minecraft, but lately it's been politics (I'm registered Independent), education (I'm a teacher), and things that are adorable. Essentially if it makes me mad or happy it will go here.
The "Suicide Rust Bucket" name was coined by Slow Wolf and comes from my tendency to take warriors (& paladins, and now a DK too) into places they really shouldn't go. I die often, but usually enjoy the process. The journey's more fun than the destination.

Breed Group: Non-Sporting
Weight: 10-25 lbs
Height: 15-17 inches
Color(s): brindle, seal, or black with white markings on muzzle, between eyes, and forechest, and possibly white collar and lower legs
As their name implies, this breed was developed in Boston, Massachusetts. Originally weighing up to 44 pounds, the Boston Terrier was bred down from the bull and terrier pit-fighting breeds. This breed has the distinction of being the first non-sporting dog to be bred in America.
The Boston Terrier is compact, sturdy, and small but is not delicate or fragile. This breed has a kind and gentle nature and is often referred to as the American Gentleman. They are lively, high-spirited, and playful. This dapper dog is a delightful combination of determination, strength, balance, and gracefulness.
Highly intelligent, alert, and enthusiastic, the Boston Terrier is affectionate and loyal. This breed is quite animated and has a lovely sense of humor. They thrive on human interaction and on being an integral part of the family. They do best in a home with children over the age of eight years and are exceedingly good with the elderly. They will generally get along with non-canine pets, although males may fight with other dogs. The Boston Terrier has a very sensitive nature and will be affected either positively or negatively by tone of voice or the home atmosphere and environment.
Regular brushing with a firm bristle brush will minimize loose hair. This breed should be bathed only when absolutely necessary using a mild shampoo. The Boston Terrier has a tendency to drool so frequent wiping of the face is recommended. They eyes and ears need to be checked and cleaned on a regular basis. Boston Terriers are prone to such health issues as breathing difficulties, heart and skin tumors, and eye injuries. They do not adapt well to weather extremes.
The Boston Terrier has a coat that is fine in texture, short, glossy, and smooth. The color of the coat comes in black with white markings, seal, and brindle. Occasionally the coat will come in brown with white markings. This breed is an average shedder.
The Boston Terrier is eager and quick to learn. They may be difficult to housebreak and the crate training method is recommended. Due to their highly sensitive nature harsh and heavy-handed methods must never be used. This breed responds to praise, fairness, firmness, patience, and consistency.
Relatively inactive indoors, the Boston Terrier is quite content to just be with the family at all times. However, regular daily exercise is a must to keep this breed fit and in shape. They benefit from and enjoy securely leashed walks, family play sessions, and free play in a safely fenced area. Boston Terriers do well in an apartment, condominium, or city dwelling provided they are given sufficient exercise, attention, and stimulation.

|Daniel Majchrzak promotes racing in Olean NY
Perry NY; Son of Wyoming County International Speedway owner, Jim Majchrzak, Daniel prepared his 1/2scale Mini-Cup racer for the motorsport season at the BullRing. The 1/3rd mile, Perry asphalt oval is the perfect size for this style car, providing ample racing room for great competition. Drivers can begin racing a Mini-Cup at the age of 10yrs and continue well past 99. The chassis is fully adjustable, and helps young racers understand the basic characteristics of setting up a racecar
Daniel visited the annual Olean City Mall Motorsport Show last weekend, talking with fans and helping his Dad with speedway promotions. "The idea is to get exposure your sponsors" said Daniel, as he sat next to the #14 racer. "They help me, and I help them". Most of Daniel's sponsors are local Perry businesses including NAPA (Letchworth Valley Automotive), Daryls Pizzeria, Kelley's Blacktop Sealing, WCIS, Tuff Toys Inc., FK Rod Ends and RNE Precision.
Daniel Majchrzak will be racing most Friday evenings at Wyoming County Int Speedway beginning one week after opening day, Friday May 8th. His plans are to get some seat time in a 4-Cylinder Stock as well. At the age of 14, Daniel is on the jr. Honor roll and his Dad says...'as long as he keeps his grades up, I'll help him out with racing.'

After numerous emails in the past few days, I have to make a blog post on that topic in order to answer all questions: I don't think Nikon will be announcing a new medium format camera at Photokina. I have said many times in the past that I will not report every rumor I see on the Web. I have not received any information about a medium format Nikon camera and I doubt somebody got it before me. I also do not see how Nikon can support another system in those difficult times. The Nikon MX medium format camera rumors are nothing new really and have been circulating since 2008 (see rumored design pictures above).

Shingles is a disease related to chickenpox, according to a BCHD release. It is a painful skin rash caused by chickenpox, as even after treatment the virus remains in the body's nerve cells and it can reappear at a later time.
"In other words, chickenpox and shingles are different manifestations or states of the same virus," said Rachel Christian, BCHD's clinical coordinator. "The first time someone is infected with the varicella zoster virus he or she usually develops chickenpox, characterized by itchy, fluid-filled or encrusted blisters all over the body. After the chickenpox resolves, the varicella zoster virus lays dormant in the nerve cells, usually for many years."
A shingles outbreak is characterized by a painful skin rash on one side of the body, often with blisters, Christian said. The rash usually lasts two to four weeks and symptoms can include fever, chills, headache and upset stomach. In some cases the pain remains even after the rash is gone. Rarely, she added, shingles can lead to pneumonia, blindness, hearing problems, swelling of the brain and death. The virus can reactivate as its host ages or if the host's immune system is weakened.
The vaccine, called Zostavax, is approved by the Food and Drug Administration for people more than 50 years old, Christian explained. However, the Georgia Department of Public Health holds to the guidelines set down by the Centers for Disease Control's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices. Those guidelines recommend shingles vaccinations for people older than 60. Anyone younger than 60 who is interested in receiving the vaccine should speak with their doctor, Christian said.
While the vaccine does not provide complete protection against outbreaks, it does reduce the number and severity.
"Recipients of the shingles vaccine have fewer and milder episodes of shingles and have less pain during and after episodes of shingles," Christian said. "In clinical trials, the vaccine reduced the rate of shingles by about 50 percent. It is unknown how long the vaccine reduces the risk of shingles."
Some of the vaccine's side effects include redness, soreness, swelling and itching at the injection site along with a headache. A severe allergic reaction is characterized by hives, swelling, difficulty in breathing, a fast heartbeat, dizziness and weakness.
"When a client comes in to the health department for a shingles vaccine, the health department provides an estimate of the cost of the vaccine covered by insurance and an estimate of the out-of-pocket costs to the client, if any. Clients without insurance or clients whose insurance does not pay any portion of the cost of the shingles vaccine must pay the full cost of the vaccine out of pocket," Christian said.
Those interested in getting vaccinated for shingles can contact the BCHD at 770-382-1920.

Honey Lime Chicken Enchiladas Recipe:
(Recipe from Dinner on a Dime)
Thanks for stopping by my blog…Following you back.
All those recipes look so hummy, can't wait to try them
So you mix some shredded chicken with the marinade as well as put some extra chicken on the inside of tortilla????? Just want to be sure.
This does look good! I can see why he likes them! I'm really into Mexican lately and this looks amazing!
Just found your recipe and will be making these enchiladas this weekend. THANK YOU!
Found you on Pinterest. I've made these before off of just cook already but used a red sauce. Also, my husband likes spicy and corn so I added about 1 – 1 1/2 tsp pf chipotle powder to the marinade and added about 1-2 T of corn kernels in the tortillas with the chicken mixture. It was really REALLY good, but I didn't like the red sauce with it… Definitely think I'm going to try the green sauce next.
They were delicious! Will make them again and again!
What do you use for the green sauce? Do you make your own or do you have a favorite brand?
Found you on Pinterest as well.
Made these today. Best Chicken Enchilada's i have ever had. I used a rotisserie chicken. Used Hatch green chile sauce. Thank You.
I made these tonight for my family! They were a hit! I did change it up a bit (because I didn't have flour tortillas) I used corn tortillas and layered it like you would lasagna. Still very delish! Thank you for sharing!
made these last night for my mother-in-law (who is really picky) and the rest of my family. Oh my gosh. dellish!!!! i'm serious, i was BLOWN away by the tastiness of this recipe. It's going on my favorite list NOW. and i had leftovers, and woke up at ate it (early),, too good to wait for lunch
My boyfriend and I made these last Tuesday and we are currently about to make them again and its Monday! We LOVED them. He said, Best enchilada's he has ever had! Thanks:) Found you on pinterest.com!
I screwed up & bought sour cream instead of the heavy cream. Now I don't know what to do… guess I am heading back to the store!
Sour cream is a great accompaniment to enchilada's.
These look great, and I think hubby will like too!
My fiance and I loved this recipe! He and I are making them again tonight!
Tried it for the first time on a group of 12 people!!! They all loved them!! They want the recipe!!! Thank you!
Delicious! This one is a keeper!
I found this on Pinterest and we all loved it (well, all but my four year old)! My husband wasn't crazy about the sweetness of the honey but I can change that next time. It was very good and easy to make. Thanks!!
Yummy recipe! Sharing with my friends!
I made these tonight and I think this might be the best meal I've ever made! They were so good. Thanks for sharing!
Holy cats, this was awesome. Hard not to be with 16oz shredded cheese and a cup of heavy cream. Any ideas on how to lighten this up? I'd love to make this more than once a year.
I have used half and half to cut down on calories a little bit! As well as putting a little less cheese in each enchilada.
I couldn't find the enchilada sauce so I just used medium salsa and whatever combination of cheese I could find and it was still great! I also added tequila to the marinade (a little extra tequila on mexican night can't hurt, right?) Anywho, we're adding these to our Cinco De Mayo festivities this year. Thank you!
Arturo Trejo brought me here ahah. fun quest. I might give the recipe a try. Looks goood.
I cut the chili powder to 1/2 teaspoon (probably will do less next time to make the kids happier) and substituted 1/2 cup sour cream instead of the 1 cup heavy cream. It was fabulous!
Yummy, yummy. Love honey and lime together and this marinade sounds delicious. It's on my pinterest board as a must do soon.
Hello! Thank you for the recipes. I can't wait to try them. I plan on making and freezing some of these. I think fresh cilantro will be a great addition to these flavors. Do you have any suggestions for thawing/reheating? I'm a busy mom and just starting to freeze meals when I can.
This comment has been removed by the author.
Found these on Pinterest and am excited to try them tomorrow! My chicken is already marinating in the fridge. Thanks for sharing
I've never tried freezing them but I'm sure it would work. I would try using a foil pan and wrapping it securely with aluminum foil. Then letting it thaw out in the fridge the morning you plan on eating them and cook them the same way once they are thawed. I just hope the tortillas don't get soggy! I'm sorry I'm not more help!
These were amazing…a little bit of work..but SO good! I've made them twice so far!
Any idea about how many cups of shredded chicken would equal one pound? I tried making your recipe, but I think I didn't quite use enough chicken. Still yummy, though–thanks for sharing this recipe! I'd love to make sure I am getting the proportions right next time I make it, though.
Totally skipped the part about whisking the marinade and then mixing it… I just poured everything on top and mixed, hope it still turns out good! I'm letting it marinate for 18 hours. Thanks for the recipe, can't wait to try it!
I usually use 3-4 chicken breasts. Thanks!
I am going to make this tonight or tomorrow night! Excited! I think for those of you who were asking calorie wise, I am going to use some greek yogurt – you can use 1/2 the plain greek yogurt with half the heavy cream… also, just cut back on cheese a bit YUM!
These are so good! I've made them a few times now (I use half and half instead of the heavy cream) and here's my advice for freezing them: when I thawed them before baking, the tortillas were super soggy. It didn't bother my husband at all but I couldn't get over the texture. Now I bake from frozen – just bake 45-60 minutes instead (that was for an 8×8 pan) and make sure it's hot in the middle before you serve. Much better texture! )
Good Morning "thedentons!"
Just found your March 2012 post regarding baking frozen Enchiladas. It was just what I was looking for also thinking the shells would get soggy… what
temp do you bake at and w/ or w/o foil?
Thought it was interesting that when I selected the recipe above and printed it to Adobe PDF, there were multiple ads that showed up on the pdf page for 'hot girls', etc. What gives?
Deb – first of all we are truely sorry. We will talk to our advertising company and see what is going on. We are only supposed to have clean ads that we approved.
Thank you so much for letting us know!
The Sisters
I made these last week and they were DELICIOUS. Even the leftovers the next day were delicious. I made 2 8×8 pans and cooked one and froze the other. When I cooked the frozen one though they cae out pretty good, but the tortillas were all soggy. Should I have cooked both and THEN frozen the other one? I don't know where my problem was. I am new to freezer meals.
Was going to make these again today but I still don't know why the ones I put in the freezer were soggy after baking… PLEASE HELP.
If you freeze, this, I recommend freezing the chicken mixture separately from the tortillas and sauce. So put the chicken and marinade and cheese in a baggie, then the sauce in another baggie, and then the tortillas in another. Pull it out in the morning to thaw and assemble later. Not quite as quick, but less soggy!
It's okay to make these the night before, right? They look delish!
Hi Karen!
I think that would work just fine!
These look fantastic and I want them now =) Yum!! Happy Cinco de Mayo.
Do you know if they are still good without the cream? Has anyone tried it that way? Trying to make it a little healthier.
I have used half and half to cut down on calories a little bit! As well as putting a little less cheese in each enchilada.
I use a mixture of fat free cream of chicken and Greek yogurt – better than the original if you ask me!
Is the Enchilada sauce the marinade? Thanks for your help, want to try these soon!
Sorry, just reread the ingredients and there is a sauce listed! Operator error on my part! =] Will have to see what is in the enchilada sauce to see if it is something we eat. We're on the mild side of "Mexican" (no peppers!)
We loved these! I would leave out the milk next time… a little soggy, but oh, so tasty!
These sound amazing…but they are listed under the "Freezer Meals" and I see no freezer/reheat directions. Could you add it if it exists, please? Thanks!
Is heavy cream sold as Heavy whipping cream in the store? Is it the same?! Help!!!
Yes, it is the same! Thanks for your question!
I made these last night. My husband and kids ate them all up! Which surprised me because my 3 year old is picky. I will definitely be making these again. Thanks for sharing this delicious recipe.
My boyfriend (who only eats fish/shellfish) and I made these with shrimp and it was delicious!!!
So I was trying to make these a bit healthier and not use cream– and then I realized I didn't have any enchilada sauce… so I made extra marinade and mixed in a splash of skim milk and a couple spoonfuls of sour cream, and then just poured that over the top. It ended up being a little too sweet for me without any enchilada sauce but I topped it with salsa and that helped. For those wondering if it would work without cream, I think it would be fine with the enchilada sauce and a little bit of milk instead.
Found this recipe thanks to Pinterest and made it tonight. The family loved it – it was fantastic! Better than any restaurant enchiladas we've had! I added a very little bit of cilantro to the marinade, and a little bit of sour cream to the enchilada sauce. I made some pico de gallo as a side and warmed up some leftover rice to go with the enchiladas and it was perfect.
can these be made with corn tortillas for GF people?
Corn tortillas would work fine! -The Six Sisters
I made these last night and they were delicious! My husband loved them and only made one request…adding a can of green chilies.
Thank you for sharing!
I made these one night and fell in love with them. My hubby even liked them! I then made them for friends that came over one night and they loved them so much they wanted the recipe for them! Luckily I made a lot because they ate so many that I only had a few left over!
These look delicious and I can't wait to try them, but I found them under 'freezer meals' … how would you freeze them? Would you make them up and freeze in a tray, or make just the marinade and chicken and wait until ready to eat to make into enchiladas?
Just FYI for anyone watching calories— I've made these a few times totally without the cream and they are still delicious! I also add corn in with the chicken to bulk it up a bit and cut on costs.
Made this for the first time last night & they were fabulous! Changed up a couple things:
1. Used 2 lbs. chicken.
2. Sauteed chicken breast chunks in fajita seasoning & a little olive oil.
3. Kept that juice from the cooked chicken & added it into the sauce.
4. Doubled the marinade so there was some left to whisk into sauce.
5. Added diced green chillies inside each enchilada; about a spoonful.
Definately a keeper! I served mexican rice & mexi-corn as sides.
So i put some chicken in marinade as well as inside the wraps????? Just want to be sure. Im gonna make tonight for dinner.
How would you prepare this as a freezer meal?
What a fun cooking blog! About how many enchiladas does this make? Thanks!
So you marinate the chicken after it cooked? Won't that make it soggy? Can u marinate it before you cook the chicken?
So, I don't have green enchilada sauce…can i just add a can or two of green chiles instead? anyone tried this?
I also tried to find a homemade version of the sauce using canned green chiles, but without success…any suggestions? thanks a million!
This dish has quickly become a staple in our house – one of my husband's favorites! And it's so easy, and makes a lot so it's good to share with friends, or make one pan and freeze the other. Thanks for sharing!
Like many others, I found you on pinterest. I've ended up pinning a lot of your recipes and finally got around to making this one.
Fantastic. This one is definitely going into my dinner rotation. I ended up making a bit too much chicken so I sprinkled it on top of the enchiladas before pouring on the sauce and cheese. I must say, however, the chicken in the marinade would make awesome sandwiches. I am considering using this marinade on some salmon.
I'm also considering making up several batches of the chicken with the marinade and freezing them to have on hand. I could toss one in the fridge overnight and it would be thawed and ready for me to assemble in the evening.
All of my boys will not eat anything that has the least bit of spice to it. Is there anything I can substitute for the green enchilada sauce?
I made these for supper tonight and they are amazing. Very filling as well. I've only made enchiladas once before and my family didn't care for them. My husband had seconds and thirds of these. Delicious!
Just made these tonight. Absolutely delicious! Made the recipe as shown. But once done we topped them with chopped tomato, cilantro, onion and avocado. What a Keeper. Thanks.
Do you think black beans would be good in this?
This is hands down the best recipe ever. I've made it at least ten times, and it never gets old. I've started doing 8 tbs of lime and honey each. I always have so much chicken left over that I usually end up needing to use a little pan so I can make a few more. So it helps to have the extra sauce. BUT the best thing happened by accident. I made way too much chicken and left it in the fridge with some marinade. I was looking for a dinner idea the next night and came across the leftover chicken. I mixed up the marinade with some cream, parmesan, and a little flour and threw it into the Vitamix. Once it was done, I added back the warmed up chicken and poured it over rotini. And then died of happiness. Most delicious alfredo you'll ever eat.
How does this recipe only have 3 stars and so few reviews??? I give it 5 stars. Or I would if I could figure out how to do that on my itty bitty phone screen. I've made this recipe MANY times. I've followed it precisely, and mixed it up a bit. When I don't have cream on hand, I make it with milk instead, still fabulous (I just use less to prevent it from being too runny).
Reheats as leftovers well. Freezes well. Everyone we have made it for loves it, including my toddler. This recipe is one of my families all-time favorites – and this comes from a family who has made it standard practice to try at least one new recipe every week – for going on 20 years now.
If I were to do these in the crock pot, could I marinate the chicken and then cook? Or maybe just cook it with the marinade? What would you suggest for a crock pot prep?
Thank you so much for sharing this recipe! I made these yesterday and my family loved them! My oldest said…"these taste a lot different from the enchiladas you usually make, I like these better!" This recipe is definitely a keeper, thanks again!
I've made this twice now. The first time I made it I followed it exactly. They were good but too sweet. I cut back by at least a tablespoon of honey the second time and they tasted much better. I really do like this recipe a lot. Thanks so much.
Made this last for the Hubby and myself. We loved it. I especially love the flavor combinations of sweet, hot and creamy. My hubby said this ones a keeper. Will be making again for sure. Thanks Six Sisters.
These were so good. I try to make a new recipe every week and always have high expectations for the meal, these did not disappoint!
Am instant fav of the whole family!!
Love this blog
Hi! We love this recipe! I wanted to let you know we included it in our post with a list of fun ideas for Cinco de Mayo. Thanks!
Oh my Gosh!!!!! These are to die for!!!!! I made them tonight for my family. Thanks for the recipe. It has now become a family regular.
These enchiladas are out of this world. I've made them several times for family members and friends and always get rave reviews. This is my go-to recipe for any potluck or family event where I am asked to bring food!!! Because of gluten allergies, I usually replace at least half of the pan with corn tortillas. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!
I tried this recipe last night for my boyfriend and I and it was great! I followed the recipe to the tea…everything about it was fantastic – very flavorful and easy – two thumbs up!!!
I have to say I love this website and the recipes you guys post! Thank you so much!

Sign up for a Crutchfield account Overview Details Customer Reviews Q&A Articles & Videos Accessories Our take on the Polk Audio TSx220B by Dave Bar Why choose bookshelf speakers? Bookshelf speakers may be small in size, but they can deliver surprisingly big sound. Some ultra-compact models even fit on a desktop. Most are right at home in tight spaces like shelves, so they're usually good choices for your home theater's rear channels. For the best performance, try placing bookshelf speakers on solid speaker stands to help the sound really "open up." If you want full bass impact, add a powered subwoofer and enjoy punchy sound that's as deeply satisfying as that of floor-standing speakers. Feel the impact of your music and movie soundtracks Go ahead, turn it up! Then sit back and enjoy the lifelike vocals, snappy percussion, and surprisingly full-bodied bass response that Polk Audio's TSx220B bookshelf speakers deliver. Their 1" silk/polymer dome tweeters provide clear, spacious highs that stay gentle on the ears, even at higher volumes. And their 6-1/2" Dynamic Balance® woofers pump out impressive bottom end that'll keep your tunes rocking. They make a great choice for stereo music listening or a home theater system in small- to medium-sized rooms. Designed and built for exceptional performance Polk carefully builds the TSx-series speakers using advanced manufacturing techniques and high-quality materials — they put a lot into them so you get a lot out of them. Each one boasts Polk's exclusive Dynamic Balance® drivers — a bi-laminate design of fiber-infused polymers sandwiched together to form a strong yet highly efficient lightweight cone for natural, low-distortion sound. Polk puts these advanced drivers through extensive testing to find and eliminate resonance points, ensuring that everything you listen to sounds clean and accurate. Polk also paid special attention to the TSx crossovers, using a high-performance design with premium parts like Mylar bypass capacitors to deliver smooth and extended high-frequency details. Even the enclosures contribute to great sound. Their attractive cabinets use non-resonant MDF (Medium Density Fiberboard) and non-parallel curved side panels to create a rigid, acoustically inert structure that effectively reduces audible coloration.

Driver Technology Enclosure Design Connections Mounting Options Driver Technology TSx Series Loudspeaker: Introducing the TSx Series of loudspeakers from Polk; stylish and quality-built for high performance. The high efficiency TSx Series loudspeaker features a unique curved enclosure wrapped in a wood-grain vinyl. The loudspeaker employs Dynamic Balance tuned drivers and tweeters for realistic mid-range, deep, well-blended bass, and incredible detail - for a classic Polk sound that is naturally open, spacious, and clear. High Efficiency Design: The TSx Series loudspeaker can be driven by practically any electronics, even the most modestly-powered amplifier or receiver. Whether you're connecting them to the newest digital receiver, or to your vintage amp, the TSx Series loudspeaker can produce sound that's spacious and clear, enveloping and realistic. Dynamic Balance Drivers: The TSx Series loudspeaker uses Polk's Dynamic Balance Driver Technology for great sound. Dynamic Balance is a proprietary Polk Audio technology using laser imaging to determine what combination of speaker materials create the least amount of resonance. Eliminating resonance in speakers results in a wide, smooth response and low distortion. Using just the right materials enables Polk to tune out performance-robbing resonances before they occur. Klipple Optimized Motor: Klipple Optimized Motor employs a laser and sophisticated software for large scale analysis of the TSx Series loudspeaker's drivers in motion. Using this state-of-the-art laser and software process, Polk engineers were able to optimize the speaker's motor structure, voice coil alignment, and suspension to yield the best possible performance. Silk/Polymer Dome Tweeter: The TSx220B bookshelf loudspeaker features a 1.0" silk/polymer Dynamic Balance dome tweeter with a powerful neodymium magnet structure that delivers clear and detailed highs for realistic reproduction of vocals and instruments, without fatigue. Bi-Laminate Composite Woofer: The TSx220B bookshelf loudspeaker features a 6.5" bi-laminate composite Dynamic Balance driver which is light and stiff with exceptional damping. This Dynamic Balance bi-laminate composite cone woofer uses a butyl rubber surround, polyamide voice coil, massive motor structure, and high-temperature aramid fiber spider to create a driver of exceptionally high efficiency, clear bass, better linearity, lower distortion, and greater durability. High Performance Crossover: The loudspeaker employs a high performance crossover system for optimum blending and time alignment of the overall speaker. Mylar bypass capacitors are used to reveal extended high frequency details. TSx-Series Timbre-Matched: All Polk loudspeakers are timbre-matched within their series, designed with the same components throughout, to achieve seamless speaker-to-speaker blending effects in multi-channel systems. Frequency Response: The TSx220B bookshelf loudspeaker has an overall frequency response of 42Hz-25kHz, while the -3dB frequency response is 50-24kHz. Enclosure Design Curved MDF Cabinet: The TSx220B bookshelf loudspeaker utilizes a unique curved cabinet design which creates a stronger, more rigid and acoustically inert enclosure. The elegantly curved side panels, which create non-parallel surfaces, reduce unwanted internal standing waves for less audible coloration. Non-resonant all-MDF construction, with a 5/8"thick baffle, ensures cleaner, clearer, more lifelike sound quality. Note: The TSx220B bookshelf loudspeaker is available in either a black or cherry finish. Flared Port: The TSx Series loudspeaker features a critically-tuned, front-firing flared port. The flared port improves air flow and minimizes port noise ("chuffing"), while ensuring good low frequency extension with low distortion. This flared port design lets the TSx speaker reveal realistic, natural, full-bodied sound with rich bass. Anti-Diffraction Grille: The computer modeled anti-diffraction grille minimizes grille interference, so it doesn't get in the way of your sound. This black cloth grille is detachable. Connections Gold-Plated 5-Way Binding Posts: The TSx220B bookshelf loudspeaker features gold-plated 5-way binding posts for excellent signal transfer. The 5-way binding posts will accept bare wire (up to 10AWG), pin-connectors, spade-connectors, and banana plugs (single or dual). The speaker terminals are color coded for easy identification between positive (red) and negative (black). Mounting Options Placement: Create an equilateral triangle between the speaker and the listening position. If you notice video distortion or discoloration, immediately move the speaker away from the video source. Rubber Feet: The bookshelf loudspeaker comes with self-adhesive rubber feet so it will sit safely and securely on your speaker stand or shelf. The rubber feet add approximately 0.625" to the height of the speaker. Wall Mounting: The TSx220B bookshelf speaker does not feature any type of wall-mount bracket or hardware. The optional PinPoint heavy duty side-grip wall-mounting bracket (121AM40B, sold separately) can be used to wall mount the speaker.

Sounds great. I can increase the volume really loud and the sound is flawless. Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 My TSX 220s Written By Willie Bryan (music fanatic), Moss Point, Ms. 39563 on Tuesday, May 20, 2014 I am a 57 yr. old man. Music is a major part of my life. I've gone from one piece hi fi's to 5.1 and 7.2 surround systems. I listen to music, and home theater everyday . I have a 1000 watt home theater in a box system. It sounded goog not great. Because I LOVE music. I wanted to buy a better system, the plastic speakers are a shame. I wondered what it would sound like with good speaker. So I researched bookshelf speakers. I decided to get tsx220s for the front and tsx110s for the back. My order got messed up. I never got my 110s. So I just replaced the fronts with the 220s.OMG! It sounds like a whole new system. I find myself listening to things I haven't listened to in a while, just to hear the system with the Polks added. Before you by a new system TRY new speakers first. You can be has happy as iAM. The best part it, I haven't even got my 110s yet! Pros: Sounds great, excellent quality, good price Cons: Not one for me! 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Surround Singers Written By TerryS, Portland, OR on Sunday, March 23, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I'm using these solid performers as surround backups in a 5.0 theatre system with two 550t towers and a 250c center; no subwoofer (as of yet, heh-heh). Just connected the whole sha-bang with 150 feet of Monster Cable XP--50' to each surround and 10' to the upfront trio, including a bi-amp to the towers. The 220b's are corner-mounted to the walls above and behind me (to help load the bass) and ALL 5 speakers are set to "large" to maximize the bass performance of source material (don't I sound technical-ha!). Anyway, to sum up: these so-called "bookshelf" marvels hold their own with the center and towers to create a SEAMLESS theatre experience, including that concussive bass shockwave when ALL 5 speakers fire at once. They don't draw attention to themselves during normal surround effects, but join in the fray when called upon. I suspect they out-perform typical "surround" speakers in this respect, that is, realistic impact--with bass and musical detail. Impressed, yes! Pros: Come through "in the clutch", when called upon to create solid realistic theatre bass, as well as musical detail in a broad frequency bandwidth. Perfect for "corner mounting" between walls. Look great--love the shape and finish--match the other Tsx front speakers. Cons: None. 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Yes | No 4 out of 5 good product Written By Randy H, Port Republic, VA on Friday, January 31, 2014 I have numerous Polk speakers and they continue to be a sound speaker with a good performance. Pros: it size produces a good balance of sound Was this review helpful? Yes | No 4 out of 5 Perfect for what I want Written By NickP, Topeka, Ks on Thursday, January 16, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I needed a set of replacement speakers for my stereo. I didn't want anything too big . These fit the bill. I play and listen to a lot of classical, jazz and alternative music. These reproduce the music very well. I would recommend these. You may want yo use these with a good subwoofer, but not a necessity. Pros: Mids and highs come through really well. Well built. Cons: Bass is a little muddled. Could be solved by putting on a stand or possibly by using a subwoffer. 3 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

For my marantz sr6005, I have floorstanding polk monitor 70's wired to my fronts, polk tsx250c wired up center, and some old polk 10" sub from 10yrs ago. I bought the pair of tsx220b to replace my surrounds, and sure glad I did. They really opened up the sound stage, the highs are crisp and bass is tight. Just make sure you have the room for these things, they're huge and look badass on speaker stands. Pros: sound great 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Nice Written By Fred L., Dunkirk, NY on Thursday, January 09, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Paired these with an Onkyo TX-8255 receiver and i'm not disappointed. The receiver was reviewed with having "muddy sound" but with these speakers makes for a nice combo. If your in to loud music then get a 'sub. Pros: great sound Cons: none 2 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Polk Audio TSx220B Written By R. J., Minneapolis, MN on Saturday, January 04, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I'm sold on Polk Audio, I own four pairs. I purchased the TSx220B bookshelf speakers for my sister's living room after much debate about buying a wireless solution (she wanted something small and relatively invisible). These speakers perform like much larger floor-standing speakers. The ported design offers deep, rich base and the highs are sharp! Pros: Deep, rich sound. These speakers project such a wide, balanced spectrum that you'd think you were listening to much larger floor-standing speakers. Great cabinetry contributes to both sound quality and aesthetics.

Very nice looking speakers, but we don't buy speakers because they're perty. Nice sound, very good spatial imaging. Very crisp highs, and decent lows for a bookshelf speaker. Would recommend them if you can't use tower speaker. Pros: Excellent highs, without distorting Cons: Just good low end sound, not great 6 out of 6 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 1 question already asked What is the use of Book self speaker? Is it good for home theater system. [ sam Jan 15, 2014 ] 7 answers Sam, I purchased these speakers for a stand alone stereo system, not a home theater, in an NYC apartment. Space was an issue. What I can tell you is that the sound is awesome and powerful from these small speakers. My receiver is the Onkyo TX-8050, also purchased from Crutchfield - Kevin [ KEVIN Apr 04, 2014 ] I use it as part of a home entertainment system and it meets my needs. It has all the volume I need for my den, which is about 18' by 20'. You might get slightly better clarity from standing speakers, but I doubt it. My one piece of advice would be to not go small with the sub woofer. That is the one piece of equipment that really gives the "movie theatre" feel in a home entertainment system. I upgraded from my first choice after talking to the representative from Crutchfield and am happy with the results. [ MICHAEL J Jan 20, 2014 ] Bookshelf speakers can be an excellent fit for a home theater system. They make phenomenal rear surrounds, but can also be used for front speakers as well. The Polk Audio TSx220 speakers are relatively big for "bookshelf" speakers. The cabinets are deep and heavy (well constructed), which enhances sound quality. These speakers have a ported design which also extends bass response. Overall, these speakers perform as well (or better) than most floor standing speakers. To get the best performance out of these speakers, I would elevate them on speaker stands (SANUS makes great speaker stands as well as AV furniture and mounts for flat panel TVs). The most important thing in building a home theater system is to match all of your speakers - don't mix different brands - and even within brand, be sure to get surrounds that are matched with your fronts and center speaker. Polk Audio has a terrific line of speakers at different price levels, so check out their center channel and sub-woofers too. If you use the Polk TSx220 speakers for both your front and surround speakers, you'll be enveloped in a very full, rich sound. If you have any questions about speaker matching, I'd recommend calling the Crutchfield support line to ask for a recommendation - I have found them to be quite helpful. [ Jeffrey Jan 17, 2014 ] Absolutely, but it depends on the size of the room, how many subwoofers you plan using, and how much power your receiver is pumping out. In my family room, it's a small room, maybe 16' x 13', with one sub, and it works great. In a larger space, you may want to add 2 subs for more bass. The center channel speaker will handle most of the dialogue, and Polk makes some excellent ones to choose from. I have the Polk TSx150c, and I love it! [ MICHAEL Jan 17, 2014 ] Some use them when they don't have the room for floor standing speakers, and some use them as surrounds with a home theater setup. I used mine as surrounds. For my needs, I think they are great in a home theater system, but other may disagree. [ Bryan Jan 16, 2014 ] I have 2 home theater set-ups in my home. I use a pair of bookshelf speakers in each set-up for the FRONT speakers. Quality bookshelf speakers work great in this application, unless you have a really large room which could stretch the sonic capability of a small speaker. I have both Polk RTi and TSx bookshelf speakers in my HT set-ups, and I am really pleased with their performance both for movies and for music listening. [ Kerry Jan 16, 2014 ] They can be used as part of a home theatre system. You will want to check with one of the Crutchfield advisors to see what the best combination would be for you particular situation. It may be that a good soundbar and subwoofer will do the trick.
