Help me cook, interwebs!

Okay, we're feeling lazy (and poor), and want to figure out something for dinner. We've got frozen skinless, boneless chicken breasts coming out the wazoo (thanks to a sale at Shaw's that netted us eight pounds of them for about $4). We've got a slow cooker, chicken stock, chicken broth, veggie broth, one can of condensed Cambell's cream of mushroom soup, a can of Progresso mushroom soup (not condensed), and assorted spices (as well as carrots, celery, and red potatoes, and butter and eggs, of course). And a slow cooker.

What's the best thing to make with some combination of these that doesn't involve needing to go shopping?

Just wait 'til next year

Frank Miller's Blithe Spirit.

Just picture it:

Elvira, instead of being a ghost, is a whore.

Ruth, instead of being Charles's wife, is another whore. And then a ghost whore.

Charles is still a novelist, but all his books are about whores. Also, he narrates the film (which is in black and white, except for the women's lipstick and red dresses) in a faux-noir style.

Madame Arcati? Retired whore. Or possibly Samuel Jackson dressed as a Nazi. Maybe both.

Miller will do for Coward what he did for Eisner: Make him spin in his grave.

ETA: No, as far as I know, there are no plans for this movie. But honestly, I wouldn't put it past Hollywood. Or Miller.
