Hi guys! 

Happy Sunday!

Yes, it's happy.

We are home. 

We have our home to come back to thanks to these folks:


         They slept on the streets and on our lawns to protect our homes.  God bless them!!


Now, we all feel like we have colds.  Super sore throats, coughing... but we are home and safe!

I'm beyond thankful to the firefighters that protected our community!  THANK YOU!!! 
My community is amazing.  Everyone helping everyone.  Strangers opening their homes to others and PETS!  So many people and businesses stepped up to donate food, comfort and shelter for displaced people and pets.  Not one single life or structure was lost.   It's amazing to me after what we saw when we left in a hurry Friday morning.

I'm grateful, also, for my crock pot today.  Since we all feel pretty crummy, it was nice to be able to throw this recipe in the crock pot, rest and sleep all day and still have a yummy supper tonight.

We are really tired of fast food and sandwiches.  :-P

• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 10 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
• 3/4 cup honey
• 3/4 cup soy sauce
• 3 tablespoons ketchup
• 2 cloves garlic, crushed
• 1 tablespoon ginger
• 1 (20 ounce) can pineapple tidbits, drained with juice reserved

 Just throw everything (except pineapple chunks) into the crock pot.  Put the lid on, turn the heat on low and just forget about it for 6-8 hours. 

Cook up some plain white rice. Shred the chicken. Then throw in the pineapple pieces and let them warm through.  Serve over rice!  If it's too saucy (mine never is) you can add some cornstarch mixed with a little water to thicken it up.  This is so easy and very tasty!
