We all know how good bread and butter pickles makes a cheeseburger taste so much better. So what do we do with the juice that is leftover in the jar. You just hate to throw it out.
Take some chicken breasts or chicken legs and wash it good. Pat dry with paper towels.
Put the chicken in a ziplock bag and then pour enough juice over the chicken to use for a marinate. Zip up the bag and sit in a bowl in case it might leak.
Let sit in the juice overnight in the ref. and take out and either grill or bake it. This gives the chicken such a good flavor. Almost like the italian dressing flavor.

HOW TO HANG A GROUP OF SMALL PICTURES
Do you have a group of small pictures you would like to hang but hat to make so many holes in the walls trying to get them hung right and spaced out right.
Take and measure the wall where you want to hang them, the with and length.
Then take some wax paper and tape it together to make the wall size you want to use.
Put the pictues on the wax paper ever how close together or far apart.
Work with them until you get them right.
Flip the pictures over so that the hangers are faceing up. Now take another piece of wax paper and put over the pictues the size of the bottom one. Put a dot with a marker where the picture hangers are.
Take the wax paper and put a piece of scotch tape on each side of it. Hang this on the wall after you have got it straight.
Make sure the tape will not damage the wall. Take a nail or screw where the dots are drive it into the wall. Take down the wax paper and then hang up the pictures. They should be the way you want them to look.

BROKEN GLASS JELLO
4(3oz.) Boxes Assorted Jello (in coordinating colors)
2 Packets Unflavored Gelatin
14oz. Can Sweetened Condensed Milk
Spray 4 small food storage containers (like Gladware/Rubbermaid) with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside. Bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Combine 1 c. boiling water with 1 package of Jello, stirring until dissolved. Place the dissolved Jello in one of the prepared containers. Repeat with the remaining packages of Jello. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
When the Jello has set, bring another 1 1/2 c. of water to a boil. While the water is heating, sprinkle 2 packets of unflavored gelatin over 1/2 c. of cold water. Allow to stand for about 4 minutes. When the water is boiling, pour 1 1/2 c. boiling water over the dissolved gelatin and stir to combine. Add the sweetened condensed milk and mix well.
Allow to come to room temperature. Lightly spray a 9x13" pan with non-stick cooking spray. Carefully cut the colored Jello into cubes and gently toss to combine in the 9x13" pan.
Pour the cooled milk mixture over the colored Jello and, if necessary, rearrange some of the colored Jello to make sure it is evenly distributed and not sticking out of the white mixture too far. Place the 9x13" pan in the refrigerator and chill overnight. Cut into squares, rectangles, or various shapes and serve.

POP BOTTLE SHOES
When going to our cuz sight on fb, as they are ministers, I was so shocked at a picture I saw on there.
It was a picture of a person across the water with a pair of shoes on. Now just what kind of shoes was these. They had took plastic drink or pop bottles and crushed them. They had got some string and made some straps on the shoes to hold them on like a pair of sandles. This is what they had to wear to keep their feet from getting so hot on the ground.
So how many pair of "REAL" shoes do you have to wear. Most of us ladies have a pair to match each outfit. All kinds of sandles to wear in the summer. Boots to wear in the winter. How thankful are we to have these. It really got to me to see this picture.
They do missionary work across the water and it is so sad that people do not have clothes and shoes like we do in Americia and also food to eat. We all may have hard times sometimes but our hard times is nothing compared to what they have to face in the third world countries.
We should be so glad that we are able to have what we need and want.
I say want, as we can go out and eat about anytime we want to, have anything in our homes that we want, go out shopping any time we want and we really just take all of this for granted because we live in Americia.
How many pairs of shoes, pants, dresses do you own. How many times do you clean out your closet each year during spring and fall. We just don't truly appricate what God gives us.
So when you see the Salvation Army ringing their bells for people at Christmas , put something in the pots as there are so many people that really do need help.
I have worked with non-profit org. that help people and it is sad that there are people who do not even have money to pay the huge electirc bills in the winter and have to get it cut off because of this.
There are people who do not have food and not get any food stamps. There are people who do not have coats to keep them warm.
So don't never take life for granted.
You could have a house fire and lose everything you own or maybe a flood come and lose everything that way.
I have been thu a flood and know all about losing everything. You are glad just to get back clothes and shoes to wear. You are glad to get back a bed or couch to sit on or a stove and ref. to use. This shows you what can happen in just a hour or two. And you never get back all that you lose.
So don't forget to always lind a helping hand because we don't know from one week to the other what can happen to us.
