I have something I need to confess. I have a problem. It’s almost an addiction. When I get up in the morning, I`ll check bloglines, then, it’s on to flickr to browse through groups, hoping to get a fix of what I need. My bookmarks are filled with links to these… sites. Recipes, food photos, god, when will it end? Do I even want it to?
Anyway, here’s a recipe that I adapted to my own tastes. It’s delicious. Even the boyfriend enjoyed it. Serve it up with my Lemon & Garlic Broccoli. It’ll blow your mind.
Sticky Balsamic Chicken
4 Boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cut into 1 inch pieces)
1 cup water
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
1/3 cup soy sauce
2 1/2 tablespoons sugar
2 tsp. Minced garlic (I used the jarred kind)
1 tsp. Crushed red pepper flakes (Really, more or less to taste)
Squeeze of lemon juice
1. Add all ingredients (besides chicken) in a saucepan over a high heat. Bring to a boil, then reduce to simmer for about 25 minutes.
2. Brown the chicken breasts
3. Add the chicken breasts to pan for additional 15 minutes or until sauce thickens (there are some problems with it thickening. I just went on and used it as a loose sauce, but you can either continue to cook it, or add a dash of cornstarch).
In less than 4 days (I think), I have broken up, gotten back together, went to the fair, changed my BC pills, gotten contacts lenses again, and book a hotel room.
More to come.
Every now and then, I`m granted with a sneak preview movie pass for 2. If I`m not busy, I`ll go. Last night, I had a movie pass for the upcoming movie Role Models, starring Paul Rudd and Seann William Scott, which is released in theaters November 7. My boyfriend was thrilled to be able to see this movie so early.
I liked the movie. That is to say, it’s one of those movies I can watch just once and not feel the need to really watch again. I laughed almost the entire time – the whole audience did. However, it is without a doubt a film of crude humor. Sex jokes, the little kid who is always cursing or talking about ‘boobies,’ it gets to be a little much, but what can you really expect from a movie like this?
Would I have paid $9 to go see it? Probably. Would I have wanted my money back at the end? Not one bit. The movie didn’t require much thinking, and I liked it that way. Plus, it ended on a really positive, feel good note.
