1. I can't stop making (and eating) this dish by How Sweet Eats: Carmalized Chicken with Mushrooms and Onions. So far my two favorites were with a nice Biltmore Pinot Grigio and a Barefoot Wines Chardonney that would not have made for good drinking, but made a delectable sauce. I also made it for a family with a new baby and used chicken broth rather than wine, if you don't want to indulge. Best part: it's done, start to finish in less than 15 minutes. That includes me getting the ingredients out of the fridge and chopping the onion.
2. Tuesday night I was making the above and didn't feel like dredging the chicken in flour because a) I always feel guilty for wasting the flour and b) I didn't want to have to get a plate out of the china cabinet so I wasn't sure where to put the flour to even dredge the chicken if I wanted to. So I got a small strainer out (maybe 3 inches wide) and put a bit of flour in and lightly dusted each side of the chicken. Worked like a charm. And that saved more flour for..
3. BISCUITS! One of the top gifts I have ever been given (Thanks S!) was the book Southern Biscuits. So far I have only made one recipe, but I've made it many times. Last time I made it my dad said he had thought I used Grands. That was a compliment because he prefers my mom use grands as to make biscuits.
4. Wedding Planning. Thankfully YOJ Events is handling a lot of the big stuff for me (Candice is a dear friend and a kick butt event (not just wedding) planner.) However, I've done things like book venues, find dresses (eek, I'm in LOVE with mine), work on invitations, etc.
5. Here's the future Mr. Well, I guess technically he's already a mister, but he's the Mr. half of the future Mr. & Mrs. Thankfully my future MIL took this picture because the above Mr., who is the official photographer of the two of us, failed to take any pictures when the actual event occurred.
6. I need to write a post on why I don't do Facebook. MoreLucy wrote why she doesn't Pinterest which reminded me I need to write why I don't Facebook.
7. I do Pinterest. It's where I store the link to the recipe for #1. And where I store all the ideas I see for inspirations. I think my favorite thing is storing the recipes. And then having a place where I can store the ones I've tried that are keepers. If they aren't a keeper, they just get deleted. All I can say is I accomplish 5% of the crafts on my boards, I'll have a darn cute house for Christmas and a similarly spooky one for Halloween. Also, my family will eat a nice balance of healthy and not so healthy food.
8. Today marks 99 days left of being a single girl. I have not been counting down, but was updating a registry yesterday and they told me 100 days so I assume today would be 99. Don't ask me 3 week from next Thursday how many days because I won't be able to tell you. I'm excited, but I'm not obsessed.
9. Happy Friday and Happy Weekend! May all 3 of you who read this have a great weekend full of wonderful Summer memories.

I love the picture! You look cute together and you look so happy! :-)
Yeah! Hope you have a great weekend. Use a ziploc bag to put flour in and coat the chicken. Works well
Reader # 3 sees a very happy couple!
