Teriyaki Chicken Drumsticks

3. While chicken is browning, mix together the soy sauce, sugar, water, and ginger.

4. Add the sauce to the chicken.

5. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat to medium low and let simmer, uncovered, for about 20 to 30 minutes or until chicken is done and sauce has thickened.

6. Turn chicken pieces occasionally during cooking process.

7. Serve over cooked rice.(We use short grain "sticky rice" prepared in a rice cooker.).

have never tried either of these recipes

Just had a few steamed veggie dogs, so good! Or in Quebec, we like to call them "toastees" (steamed dog on a toasted bun)

I got my husband to make balsamic chicken- I love it! He just takes chicken breasts, pours a mix of balsamic vinegar, water, olive oil and a package of Italian seasoning spice over it and bakes it. I boiled up some angel hair pasta- the chicken and balsamic sauce is awesome on it. Steamed some veggies and made a salad.

That sounds yummy MissStacey. I'm a huge balsamic vinegar fan as well. What do you mean by "a package of Italian seasoning spice"?

I changed my mind a bit on what we had for supper last night. I bought these small steaks for pan frying, so we had that and I made a mushroom/onion cream gravy for them that you make right in the pan after fast frying the steaks. It was very VERY good. I also made some brussel sprouts. I slice them top to bottom, boil them for 2 minutes, then fry them in butter/olive oil mixture for about 15 minutes until they're carmelized. Throw in the garlic for the last minute and they're crispy on the outside and yummy. We had sweet potato fries with that as well.

Tonight we're going to the Cardinals game, so we're going to a favourite pub for supper beforehand. The pub offers front door service via a trolley to the game and back for free, so it's a great deal and a good meal!

We have this: It comes with the bottle and the seasoning packets. The bottle tells you where to fill oil to and where to fill vinegar, I don't really follow that though, I like more vinegar than oil. My sister loved the dressing I made and bought a few of those to take back to Canada. You can find the packets (or this kit) in the salad dressing aisle.

I always have a bottle ready so my hubby just takes the bottle, adds some more vinegar and water (so the chicken isn't too oily) and throws it over some chicken breasts in a roasting pan. His technique is- he broils each side for a few minutes and then turns the heat down and lets them bake for about 15- 20 minutes.

I don't know why I didn't think about that when you mentioned the seasoning packet MissStacey! I DO have one of those, so I'm going to do chicken this way this weekend. Thanks!

Last night I had lamb sausage on a pretzel bun with whiskey infused mustard. Wow, it was delicious! We ate out just before the game last night.

I think we'll have the beef on a bun tonight with a tossed salad.

what is wrong with Cool whip and Jello ??

I don't like them. But I hear Joyce does! lol

So, we drove to CT for the job interview yesterday. Got there and they had apparently left me a message that they were cancelling all interviews because they may have lost funding for the position. However, I left very early in the morning to drive down and missed the call on home phone and my cell didn't show any missed calls. They did interview me, since I showed up and didn't know anything about it being cancelled! I would be very interested in this job if the funds become available .... so who knows.

Oh noooooooo. That was great that they did the interview anyway, though. Shows you that it's a considerate organization. I hope the funds are released and they hire you, Autumn.

Last night my husband brought home Thai food. So tonight we will have Swiss Chalet. lol

[trailmix 77]

Yay for thai food!

Pork chops for dinner tonight - with corn and potatoes.

[Kathryn41 3,205]

It will be left overs tonight- made enough ratatouille for two meals which is fine by me - I love it!

[Malrothien 6]

Tonight is pork tenderloin, herb and garlic bread, and minted peas.

[Krikit 1,164]

Mmm. That sounds yummy.

[trailmix 77]
