Writing is something I enjoy, in fact in many ways after writing for a while I feel like I've come back from a refreshing walk. As a young school girl I loved writing stories, I would never tell anyone, though. Everyone else seemed to hate writing, especially when it came to stories. Why should I be any different than anyone else? In spite of my love for writing I never felt like I could really do it well enough, I always felt self-conscious about my writing, in fact I didn't even like when my mom would proofread the letters I sent to friends, though I did want her help to correct my mistakes, both real and imaginary.
Chicken McNuggets started the nugget craze, but I am sure Gloria's recipe for homemade nuggets tastes a lot better!
- 2 pounds of chicken or turkey breasts, cut into cubes
- ½ cup salad dressing
- 6 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon seasoned salt
- ½ teaspoon garlic salt
- 2 sleeves saltine crackers, crushed
- Mix up salad dressing, milk, and seasonings. Dip chicken breasts into
then roll into crushed crackers. I like dumping only littlemixture - crackers at a time into a small bowl to prevent the cracker crumbs
- from getting too wet and clumping together. Place onto a cookie sheet
- and bake at 400 for 20 minutes or until no longer pink in the center.
- Do not over bake.
And Gloria's tangy dipping sauce:
Sweet and Tangy Sauce
½ cup mayo
1 tablespoon prepared mustard
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon barbecue sauce
1 teaspoon lemon juice

Congrats on your coke challenge! You are doing great. Have you tried making decaf iced tea? Or if you like herbal tea the orange spice makes wonderful iced tea. As to your thoughts of the day, I for one love to read Gloria’s column. I am so happy for her that the adoption is almost final. They seem like a wonderful loving family.
