This is now one of my clans’ favourite dinners:

  • Take 4 portions of chicken. I have used thighs and breast meat. I generally buy a family pack of thighs and make them all.
  • In a bowl mix : 2 tbsp lemon juice, 2 tsp sugar, 1 tsp grated fresh ginger, 2 tsp soya sauce. If cooking more adjust accordingly. I usually add more ginger.
  • Marinade the chicken for 30 minutes. While marinating does help, I have made this with success without letting it sit.
  • Pre heat oven to 375F
  • Turn and baste with remaining marinade when you think of it. (3-4 times) 
  • If the chicken in not browning up when it is cooked crank the heat to 425F and move the chicken up to the grill and carefully brown – watch it as it will burn!

Serve with rice and some veggies.

Burst Pattern
Star Pattern
Here is a unique replacement to the plastic night lights. These patterns are inspired by New England designs and feature a high level of detail. See the "Burst" design here and the "Star" design here. The edges are folded to increase the strength. Like most of our products we do not recommend you use this in a high moisture area.

In our house we have several. The most popular one is in the twins room. A
morning ritual is for the one who gets changed first crawls under the crib the
turn it off. We teach conservation at a young age!

Made from tinplated steel.

Based on old farm feed scoop this piece is a practical candleholder.

The shape of the back makes this very reflective. The shape also protects the flame from a draft.

This is a fun simple piece to make. The challenge is in cutting the top edge. It needs to be nice and smooth. It takes some practice.
