umm umm good

Deliciousness! I make this recipe every now and then. I really like to make it for Shane because he loves it so much. Well tonight I wasn't able to see Firewall like I thought so I decided to cook some grub up. I call it Capt. Crunch Chicken but it's really like Maple Syrup Chicken or something. It's awesome. It is a little on the sweet side. If Shane were here for Valentine's Day this is what I would make for him so I thought I would share it in case some of you aren't into fighting the crowds on Valentine's Day. I will be at swim practice and soccer practice that night so I made it this evening. We went and saw The Pink Panther today. It's a great movie. It's funny. I thought it followed the classic comedy quite well. We loved it and the audience was cheering in the end. I was nervous because it got such bad reviews. Yesterday we finished up the quilt and I'm hoping to get some pictures of it before it gets mailed off. I couldn't believe I forgot my camera. It's gorgeous and well worth the chaos that went with doing it. I got to speak with Shane everyday this weekend and that was nice. He has tomorrow off so he'll be calling then too. I love him. Have a great monday everyone..mine will be busy. Oh! I'm excited my brother is going to be visiting-finally I will see the Alamo! And I will see one of my best friends so that in itself is exciting.
