flat chicken
So, I made a recipe tonight with chicken that asks you to pound the chicken flat. I have never actually pounded chicken flat, but I have to say that it's SO FUN and relieves a lot fo stress!!!! The recipe was for Chicken Milanese. You put a butterflied chicken breast in a large Ziploc bag and make sure all the air is out of it. Then, the best part, you take a saucepan and you literately pound the bottom of the pan on the chicken. I got so much aggression out on those chicken breasts.
you should try it sometime...
you should try it sometime...
bye bye john!
So sad that Sen. John Edwards from NORTH CAROLINA had to pull out of the Democratic race. I liked him. He seemed to me the most presidential of all the candidates. Oh well.
So long to Republican Giuliani also. He did so much for New York City. Really changed this city for the better.
Now...off to the races!

MY NEW FAVE PIC OF MY NIECE
best chocolate chip cookie recipe ever
So, as some of you might know, my favorite thing in the world is a good chocolate chip cookie. After trying recipes forever, this is one that turn out SO perfect. They are THIN and BIG and so good. It's from the Martha Stewart Baking Handbook and you must add it to your collection. The key here is...to use less brown sugar. Don't know why, but it works. I also recommend using CHOCOLATE CHUNKS instead of CHOCOLATE CHIPS!

NKOTB ARE MAKING A COMEBACK!
MONDAYS
Why do I hate Monday's? This morning I pressed SNOOZE four times. And that's good for me. I have this great feature on my alarm clock called "NAP" where you press the button and it sets an alarm for you to nap. I like the 10 minute nap. So, I pressed it four time this morning and work up 15 minutes before I had to leave.
So today actually turns out great. I really have, what I think, is the greatest job. In the morning, I babysit for a 9 month boy who is just too happy and too great. He napped for two hours of my shift and I use that time to catch some REGIS AND KELLY, prop my feet up, and just relax. So nice. Of course, I do do the dished and clean up before I do any of that.
Then, in the afternoon I am responsible for providing "company" to a 12 year old (almost 13) girl. I pick her up from school and we walk home and she sits on her laptop all afternoon while I sit on their computer and write a blog.
Good times.

first post ever
This, I guess, will be my BLOG.
I never thought I would need or want a blog. I don't know what I will find myself ranting about, but I always think of random things and this way, I can let you in on them!
I hope you enjoy my daily blog. I will try to write something in it everyday!!!!
