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.

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.

Amy Dacyczyn, author of the 1990s wildly popular The Tightwad Gazette , once remarked that frugal living is often synonymous with green living.
