Awdrey Hamilton - Visit their blog ~ My main focus for my blog is to share my life with my readers. To help show other mom's that life isn't perfect. I've always felt the need to have things tidy and neat ALL the time, and if it wasn't, I felt like a failure. I want to help myself and others to know that it just doesn't have to be that way, and that we can learn to laugh at our mistakes instead of dwelling on them. I LOVE working on my blog even though I don't get a post up everyday. My reader list has grown, but I have no where near 2000. One day, I hope so.

The Reason Of My Existence

An old photo of the wedding of my parents... They were the reason of my existence...They were no longer together. This is the only photo that was left. It looks like dilapidated, torn and partially damaged (aren't they meant the same thing? ;)Unfortunately, this was soaked on flood water that's why it looks bad. Anyway, good thing there is a technology called scanner where we can have our most treasure picture scanned and save. :)

Sweet and Sour Chicken

Sweet and sour chicken

* 2 pounds skinned, de-boned chicken, cut into bite-sized pieces



* 1 cup all-purpose flour



* A little fresh ground black pepper, ground ginger, garlic powder and salt for seasoning (not a lot)



* 2 eggs



* vegetable oil



* sweet and sour sauce (buy or make it yourself)

* When cutting the chicken into bite-sized pieces, remove any fat, gristle or connective tissue. If the chicken is soft-frozen or almost thawed it is easier to cut.



* In a bowl mix eggs and seasoning. Beat until well combined. Add chicken and let it stand for half an hour.



* Place flour in a shallow bowl.



* Dredge the chicken pieces in the flour coating thoroughly (use chop sticks or two spoons to keep the flour off from your fingers).



* In frying pan, add 1/2-inch vegetable oil. Heat to deep-frying temperature.



* Drop pieces into the hot oil and fry until deep golden brown. Turn as necessary to cook evenly on all sides.



* When golden brown, remove to paper towel covered plate to drain.



* Place chicken to other frying pan and add sauce, mix and heat until the sauce is hot.



* Serve with rice.
