Happy Day Zane!

Zane turned the big 9 today! He was lucky (?) enough to give a talk in Primary on his birthday. Otherwise he had a great day, with Cookie Crisp for breakfast and pepperoni pizza for dinner, followed by devil's food cake, goo-goo cluster ice cream and PRESENTS!

Christmas Concert

I don't make this one all the time, but it is a true favorite of everyone here and my mom got rave reviews this Christmas when she took it to a dinner at the Boise ID Temple, where my dad works.

Roll pieces in corn startch and then into beaten egg. Fry till golden brown, using high heat. (my Mom fries in oil, I just spray the fry pan) Put pieces of chicken into baking dish. Sauce: 3/4 cup sugar, half brown and half white 1/4 cup water or chicken stock 1/2 cup vinegar 1 Tablespoon soy sauce 1/4 cup ketchup dash of salt Heat until sugar i...
