Thought of the month

Instead of being a time of unusual behavior, Christmas is perhaps the only time in the year when people can obey their natural impulses and express their true sentiments without feeling self-conscious and, perhaps, foolish. Christmas, in short, is about the only chance a man has to be himself. ~Francis C. Farley

Twilight Review

So i know a few of you have read twilight, and are fans of it. I went and saw the midnight showing of it. 4Theaters sold out for it all at the same time showing. so you just had to pick which theater you wanted to sit in.

I was pleasantly surprised. I was expecting a lot less sticking to the actual story, and the main female actor not to do that great. But as a whole, I really liked it. Definitely will look forward to the second one. And for you boys out there. I dragged Ryan, John, and Ben with me to see it. And all three really liked it. So not just for chicks. It actually convinced my friend John to read the books.

Mmmm so good

So, I'm not really one who cooks from scratch a lot. Though when I do, I'm dang good at it! Ryan came home saying he needed to take something to work for a pot luck, and he told everyone of a dish I had made a while back for a medieval banquet we did for the Youth of the church. Somehow I got suckered into making it at about midnight so he could take it to work the next morning, and it was a major hit I guess. Everyone was in love. It's a simple recipe so I thought I'd share it with everyone.

Icelandic Chicken: You will need chicken, bacon, flour, chosen spices.
(for cooking i simply use a cookie sheet or cake pan, covered with aluminum foil, with edges turned up to hold in any juice. Placing the chicken on that)
1.Preheat the oven to 450
2.I use the separate chicken breasts you can just buy at the store. but any chicken will do. Whole, chicken legs...ect.
(Depending how much chicken you are making, this next part will vary.)
3. In a bowl mix flour and water together till you have a nice amount of bread type doe. Thick and somewhat stretchy.
4. Mix Basil and Thyme into the doe. How much is up to you. (I like a lot of seasoning)
5. Season the chicken with a generous amount of Basil and a bit of seasonal.
6. Wrap each chicken breast (or whole chicken) in strips of bacon.
7. Wrap bacon wrapped chicken in seasoned doe. Make sure chicken is completely covered by the doe. Place the chicken on the cookie sheet and let it cook for 45 min or until done. For whole chickens use suggested cooking temperature and time for poundage.
