BARBEQUE CHICKEN

Ingredients
· 3 to 4 pounds meaty chicken pieces (breasts, thighs, and drumsticks)
· 1-1/2 cups dry sherry
· 1 cup finely chopped onion
· 1/4 cup lemon juice
· 2 bay leaves
· 6 cloves garlic, minced
· 1 15-ounce can tomato puree
· 1/4 cup honey
· 3 tablespoons light-flavored molasses
· 1 teaspoon salt
· 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme, crushed
· 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon ground red pepper
· 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
· 2 tablespoons white vinegar
Directions

1. Place chicken in a plastic bag set in a shallow dish. For marinade, in a medium bowl stir together sherry, onion, lemon juice, bay leaves, and garlic. Pour over chicken; seal bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for 2 to 4 hours, turning bag occasionally. Drain chicken, reserving marinade. Cover and chill chicken until ready to grill.
2. For sauce, in a large saucepan combine the reserved marinade, the tomato puree, honey, molasses, salt, thyme, red pepper, and pepper. Bring to boiling. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, about 30 minutes or until reduced to 2 cups. Remove from heat; remove bay leaves. Stir in vinegar.
3. For a charcoal grill, arrange medium-hot coals around a drip pan. Test for medium heat above the pan. Place chicken pieces, bone sides down, on grill rack over drip pan. Cover and grill for 50 to 60 minutes or until tender and no longer pink, brushing with some of the sauce during the last 15 minutes of grilling. [For a gas grill, preheat grill. Reduce heat to medium. Adjust for indirect cooking. To serve, reheat and pass the remaining sauce with chicken.

WATER PLANTS AND WEDDING BELLS

right now am going through an interior designing phase one that i hope doesnt end seeing as am enjoying it quite abit! look at these stunning pictures of attention to detail i am in ove with these!that sink got me thinking the amount of unsual pieces that we could use like pottery instead of sinks they are water tight right?it doesnt get any better than this if it does and you know where let me know.

am trying my hand at interior designing, landscape designing and wedding planning and the guinea pigs are my family and their property to be specific my father's house, my aunty's house and my cousins wedding. so far so good, i would like to think its because i dont have a time limit except for the wedding of course but the landscaping is developing well taking it one day at a time.

i can tell you the ability to be pleasantly surprised in this country is quite high my cousin decided that she was having an african themed wedding in terms of decor and so i suggested we use pots. in our pursuit of pots we actually ended up on Entebbe road around kajjansi we came upon the most beautiful pots and the guy was selling flowers, i was so happy to find hydrengaes i hope that is the spelling,water plants and minituare version of what would be imposing plants and he even knew the botanical names i was pleased all these achievements were at the road side of kajjansi,dust isnt that bad after all.

oh and about that yoga am still waiting for directions from Tandra or if anyone knows where else i would like to know because am spiralling out of control and when i do i willl hold everyone responsible.

Cook over low heat for 10 minutes or until mixture is soft, stirring occasionally. Remove pepper mixture from heat. Let cool.
3. In a food processor bowl or blender container cover and process or blend pepper mixture until nearly smooth. Set aside.
4. Score meat on both sides by making shallow diagonal cuts at 1-inch intervals in a diamond pattern. Season steak with salt and pepper, if desired. Rub steak on both sides with dried Italian seasoning.
5. Grill steak on rack of uncovered grill directly over medium coals for 18 to 22 minutes for medium doneness (160 degrees F), turning once. Grill eggplant slices for 6 to 8 minutes or until cooked through, turning once. Set aside. If desired, brush cut sides of Italian bread halves with olive oil. Grill bread, cut side down, for 1 to 2 minutes or until toasted.
