Last nights dinner was amazing. My sister in law made this glazed chicken tenders entree that was to die for. It was so simple too. All she did was take some Zesty Italian salad dressing mixed with some honey and pour it over the chicken tenders in the skillet. Then she simmered them until the chicken was cooked through and the sauce turned a pretty brown color. I will have to remember that recipe because we really loved it. I like to learn how to make new dishes because eating the same stuff all the time can get boring. I don’t like boring food.
Finding room for our wine in our home
Guest post written by Annie Kemp
Now that we’re empty nesters it seems that just about the only thing that we don’t have room for in our home is the wine that we’ve started collecting as a hobby. We have all of this empty room in everywhere else but the house. But we want to be able to use our home as we see fit now and are renovating several parts of the house as we see fit.
When I was looking around for some info on how to make a wine cellar, just out of curiosity, I saw some info on sears vinyl siding and realized that our home could also use that upgrade.
I’ve explored lots of different options and I think that we’re going to maybe bump out our kitchen and get a wine storage shelf built into the room. I think that it will be such a nice looking addition to the room. I guess that I’ll also have to buy some more wine to fill up all of that storage space.
New glasses
I need new glasses. I made an appointment with the Richmond Hill optometrist today. My appointment with the Richmond Hill Optometrist is on Friday. I need a pair of contacts as well as glasses. There is no excuse to not get my eye examination. It only happens once a year, so it is not that difficult. I actually like my eye doctor as he is better than the last one. The last one had the worst breath on the planet and this one does not.
I think I want to get colored contacts. My eyes are naturally green, and I would like them blue for a little while. There are all kinds of colors and what not for my to choose from. I can even make them like Riddick’s eyes from the Chronicles of Riddick movies. That would be awesome. They look like they can see in the dark they are so cool. Richmond Hill optometrist can help me with that.
Side job
I got this side job working a convention. I really didn’t need the job, but a friend of mine needed some help because on of her people couldn’t make it. I am now in charge of crowd control. This should be fun. I get to tell people where to go. That is a woman’s dream job, well sort of. I know I am being a smarty pants, but I am in a great mood. I get to spend time with my friend and make a little money on the side. That is definitely a bonus.
I have to set up all of the stanchions and velvet rope that will direct the traffic throughout the convention hall. There will be a buffet as well as a lot of speakers in different rooms, so that means a lot of set up. I will probably help set up the tables and chairs as well. I am sure that my friend will have me doing all kinds of stuff.
Baby Shower
I have a baby shower to go to later on this afternoon. I already bought a couple of small things, but still need to purchase a couple more. I have the stroller baby priced, but I am not sure if I should buy it as our friend Kim said she was going to. I did order the purple and brown baby bedding for the crib that she and her husband already bought. She was very specific about what she wanted and we all wanted to make sure that she got it. That isn’t too difficult.
I also bought as a surprise, some green and purple toddler bedding. That way when the child is ready for the crib to convert to a toddler bed, he/she will have a new set of bedding. They are all the same size anyway, so she can use them before hand as well as later. I know she will be happy with it as she was admiring it when we were out shopping.
