Bourbon Chicken

Ingredients:
  • 1 1/2 pounds chicken breast
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/4 cup light soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons red rice vinegar or red wine vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons good bourbon whiskey
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar, or to taste (up to 4 tablespoons if desired)
  • 1 green onion, washed and cut into thirds
  • 2 slices ginger
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed
Directions: 
Place the chicken in a shallow 9 X 13-inch baking dish. Combine the remaining ingredients and pour over the chicken. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight. Turn the chicken occasionally to make sure they are entirely coated in the marinade.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees . Bake the chicken, uncovered, with the marinade, for 25-35 minutes, basting occasionally.

Dice the chicken and serve over hot rice or noodles. And some sliced green onion. Serve hot.

Wedding Gift... Personalized Decorations!


 My friend Missy, pictured here, is painting the R that she traced from the Wooden Name she is making.  Our Friends Mandy and Matt just got married last Saturday. congrats!

 Here's the bag.  Turned out so cute~!

 Next we painted the edges of the letters with acrylic black paint.
 Then we Mod Podged the Scrapbook paper, that we cut out, to the letters. ....

I had a little time, so I did these two letters as well.  I liked them both!

 Close up of the red texture.
 I love how this turned out. It matches their living room. The black is a velour and the red has a nice design to it. Not overbearing. Awesome! Missy packed it in her bag with the personalized R on it.
Sweet!

Congrats Matt and Mandy Reynolds on your Marriage!  As soon as the pictures are up of their wedding on Amy and Jeremiah Photography, I'll let you know!

Embellished Shower Curtain

Finished.
I've had this plain Target Green shower curtain since 2008...I always felt like it needed something. 
I added a white ruffle and pinned. 
 And another layer of cream ruffle.

 Claire...bored with walking on the curtain.
 Finally adding a flowery ruffle ...

 and sewed it up, which took forever! Or at least it felt like it.

 I winged this, so I think it turned out pretty well.

Measuring and drawing straight lines to pin too, would be ideal...I just didn't have the time!
