Someone Remind Me To Pack Airborne...

This entire Labor Day weekend has me hackin' like I was a smoker. I had no voice yesterday, my throat is sore as all **** and I'm coughin' like crazy. I know it had to be some germy person that was on that daggone plane who spread a virus around. No matter how many times I travel, I always get sick when I get home. However, my dad is saying it's just the fact I'm not used to the northern climates lately. I still say it some germy individual that was flying on AirTran. Nyquil isn't helping...

But today, I mustered up a bit of strength, determined to do what I said I was going to do - make Giada de Laurentiis' Balsamic BBQ Chicken. So, this evening, I embarked on my task -- and boy did the kitchen get hot. However, making my own BBQ sauce was a first - I don't think I will go bottled ever again. I highly recommend this recipe, but cut the vinegar in 1/2 if you try to make it and up the ketchup portion a bit. I baked the chicken and, while I would have taken pictures, I forgot as the smell made me beyond ravenous to consider getting the camera. The meat was literally falling off the drumstick. Add that with a bit of steamed corn and enjoy! The leftovers will make a splendid lunch this week or dinner if I'm too tired when I get home.

Now all I have to do is clean up the messy kitchen & shine my sink. All while hacking up a lung, of course.
