  11. This is just a killer recipe--great for these hotter than usual times---fussy--but what would you rather do? Greek Chicken and Barley Salad • 12 oz of skinless, boneless chicken breast cubed to ½ inch. • Flour as needed • Paprika as needed • 3 cups broth • 1 cup uncooked pearl barley • 1 cup cubed seeded cucumber • ¼ cup diced celery • ¼ cup diced red onion • 1 cup grape tomatoes, halved • ½ cup cubed yellow, orange, red or green bell pepper • ½ cup reduced-fat feta cheese • ¾ cup chopped pitted olives • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil • 1 tsp grated lemon rind • 2 TBS fresh lemon juice • 1 TBS minced fresh basil • 1 tsp minced fresh oregano • 1 tsp red wine vinegar • 1/2 tsp kosher salt • 2 garlic cloves, pressed Dredge chicken in flour/paprika mixture, then brown until done in a nonstick pan. Bring 3 cups broth to a boil in a large saucepan; add barley. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 35 minutes or until liquid is absorbed. Fluff with a fork. Cool. Combine chicken, barley, cucumber, and ingredients through olives. in a large bowl. To prepare dressing, combine 3 tablespoons oil, rind, and remaining ingredients; stir well. Add to barley mixture; toss well. Cover and chill.

  13. Thanks for the images. This one may be a Jabo imho. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Marble--On!!
  14. Those images are just great—. Marble—on my friend!
  15. Size always matters--it does look like a Vitro---??? Marble--On!!
  16. I agree with Ric. The size is a matter for sure---- This one may be from Europe—it does not strike me as an Asian made marble. It is very cool—I have never seen this one before—or anything like it. Maybe @Mojo can give us a clue here. Marble—On!!
  17. I do not mean to make an issue here Ric. Research what Ron has said on this board---I think that your old pal had it right--right here on the Marble Connection. Marble--On!!
  18. I would like to see some more images of the top middle--- Marble--On!!
  19. We have to research this further. Parrots are Parrots--the smaller ones had a name given to them by collectors--parakeets’—just a smaller version of Parrots. The name “Parrot” was a name given in the shop where they were made by the man who made them. The smaller ones are very rare--but they are still Parrots—with a collector’s nickname. The same color combos and numbers still apply. The OP is a common Vitro imho.—Not a “Parrot”. More like an “All Red” with no red. This is just my opinion based on what I have learned from the best. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Marble—On!!
  20. This one is an Alley imho--a nice one! Marble--On!!
