I tried making albionwood's Yummy Spiced Chicken last night for the weekly homeowners' meeting. It lived up to its name! Well, 2/3 of it, anyway - it needed more spicing. I substituted creme fraiche for the sour cream, and increased the garlic (of course). I also used crushed tomatoes instead of the tomato juice.

The final dish came out quite liquid, perhaps because I substituted wine for the sherry. In future I'll leave that out. Still, I served it over rice to sop up the juice and that worked quite well!

Braaaaains!

My brain is on the fritz. The portable one, thankyouverymuch. I've had a lot of trouble with this model (Palm m150) - this is the third time it's happened. They only seem to last a year before they conk out. The wife has one older model, a V, the entire time I've cycled through my replacements. Apparently it's time to choose a different one entirely. (Sigh)

But, since I am an anal-retentive sort I cannot deal with not having my calendar and to-do list. I printed the week out from the desktop. Sheesh, maybe I should have stuck with the DayTimer.
