Tuesday I used leftover chicken to make half of this chicken and biscuits recipe.

Brinderaded Chicken This is a super simple recipe for a quick brine/marinade to use with chicken. Polly’s got some tweaks to share for this one; she uses 2x the garlic, oven-bakes the chicken, and serves it with pasta and red sauce or alfredo. I’ve also sometimes used spicy sausage or added some jarred spicy peppers.

In a separate pan, sauteed a sliced green pepper, added some chopped kale, and threw in the last half of a tomato I had (chopped first). For being so random, this was pretty tasty, and I felt happy about using up some veggies plus the random bag of couscous. Anyway, I got Domino’s for us afterward. Let’s see.

Sunday Zoe had a night off of work, so the three of us went out for pizza and then went to Target, where we did some clothes shopping. So we just bought everything we were going to try on, then went home and had a big try-on session at my house, which honestly was probably more fun than using the Target fitting rooms. Zoe was at work.

I did this by using a long, fine embroidery needle and one strand of black cotton embroidery thread. Because of the type of fabric, no hemming was necessary.
