Chicken-on-Stick

Thank you to our wonderful Hostess Susan for hosting this "Foodie Friday".

Stop by for some fun and exciting recipes and fabulous pictures at http://designsbygollum.blogspot.com/

Today I'm doing Chicken-on-Stick. Basically it is like a Breaded Chicken Cutlet on a stick. My Mom and Aunt use to make these all the time. In the old days they used pork, but with being more healthy I make it with white chicken breast. I'm of Ukrainian background so any wedding or function you attended these meat on sticks or 'patychky' would appear. Those are the names we use to call them. Also they are very popular in the Polish Community here too.

I don't follow any recipe but just cut up chicken breast deboned and skinned into even cubes.. Then I set up 3 pie dishes ........ thats what I use. First one I beat eggs with a splash of water, the second dish I have flour and the third dish I use Panko and Italian seasoned breadcrumbs with a ratio of half/half. To the breadcrumbs I also add seasonings like garlic powder and salt and pepper to taste.

Firstly I skewer them onto shish kabob sticks [I use thicker ones], then coat them with flour, secondly dip into the egg mixture and thirdly into the breadcrumbs.

Heat up large skillet with Canola oil and saute for 3 min. on each side..........

When we were younger my brothers and I would fight who would get how many sticks each to eat. Now I make it for my daughter, nieces and nephews. They always request it when i have something going on in my home. :-)

Skewered and ready to be dipped into the flour, egg mixture and then breadcrumbs.

Coated and ready to be sauteed.

Sizzling away in the skillet.........

Cooked and ready to eat.

Fall garden.

Today is 'Outdoor Wednesday" be sure and visit http://asoutherndaydreamer.blogspot.com/. and see the fun everyone is up to.

Thank you to our Susuan for being a wonderful Hostess for this fun "Outdoor Wednesday", everyone is so creative.

Today I'm doing a tour of my backyard outdoor space.....This is the last of my plants that I have outside.

Pinky purple Fuschia.......even with zero temperatures here in The Great White North this plant is still thriving.

Yellow mums..........this is the last of them. Next week I don't think they will be around.

My Garden plaques behind some English Ivy. Soon they will be cleaned and put back into the garage to come out next spring.

This lil' lady I call her hangs on the side of my garage........and yes I put an artificial fern in there. That's the only thing that will grow in there without my help.

This lil' cherub is over 100 years old and comes from an old home somewhere in England. I actually have two of them and they are about 4 feet tall on pedestals. I keep them outside all year long, becuase if they stood all time then I need not worry.

When my parents passed away a week apart my husband and daughter bought this for me in memory of them. A lil' angel sitting on its own bench.

This gal holds some begonia's in the summer time that I plant.

These are my Garden Gnomes and The Seven Dwarfs............my husband still has to clean them and put them away. He put them together in one spot but as you can see looks like they had a Civil War in the garden. This was due to the Racoons, squirrels, chipmunks etc........coming around and actually moving them around............... especially that big Racoon, he is very bad. He flips trash cans and moves lawn furniture at night. I guess he's hungry. Well firstly I shouldn't leave him food sometimes, becuase if he can't find any and I forget he gets mad.

My froggy among some Lavender.

My snail and mushroom among the veggie patch.........well it use to be before.

Thanks for stooping by and be sure to visit the other participants.

I love comments so don't forget to leave some.

This set is very, very tiny. it comes form my daughters playhouse.

This is my favourite teaset........

Blue and Whites

Thank you Hostess Sally for hosting "Blue Monday" for some fabulous inspirational ideas and fun!...

Today I'm showing a Blue and White pedestal bowl I have and a large plate. I bought these from The Bombay Company a lil' while back. I love that store, they have some very pretty things. I try and stay away from that store when I go to a mall......because more then likely I'll come home with a 'blue and white'.

This is the pedestal bowl, I put a clementine 'mandarin' orange so you could see the size. Those darn clementines, you buy a box full of them. Then you hand them out to the neighbours kids, put in your lunch bags and hand them out at work, eat them while snacking and you look in the refridgerature and WOW! there still is a ton more.

Together with my plate........I usually like to keep this plate with nothing on it, it's so pretty.

Close up of the plate........pretty design.

Going Green

Thank you to Susan for hosting "OUTDOOR WEDNESDAY".


I was thinking what could I post today for Outdoor Wednesday.........then I remembered that it was a beautiful Fall day today and I had hung up my laundry in the corner of my backyard. This will probably be the last week that I will hang my laundry outside as the cold, wintery and blustery winter will settle in soon.

In the summer I try to hang as much laundry outside as possible as to save energy and my electrical bill.......plus I love the smell of fresh laundry when you bring it into the house. But I must point out I do have one of those new front load washer and dryers. Which..... when winter comes I will have to use the dryer, or sometimes I have this rack and just hang some there, depending what it is I've washed that day in the basement.

Today it was 'whites'.......but I did manage to do a separate machine with my daughter's hoodies.

This is through my beautiful deep purple French Lilac Tree that my husband tried to trim this year. I hope it will be okay as he really scalped it.

Took a break in between hanging up the laundry and tried to get some Vitamin D's sitting in the sun.
