Friends from outside the States you can participate but I will send only the Thai sauce as the soy sauce is available everywhere! :-)  Unfortunately since it is a bottle I can not mail them to Indonesia... I will send it when someone is going home this summer :-).

We'll announce the winner on Monday morning!

The recipe is so simple... The bottle on the left, is Indonesian sweet sauce and the red one is Thai sauce...

Get some chicken... Poke holes on the chicken with fork so the sauces will marinate all the way into the meat..

Pour the thai sauce unto the chicken... They look spicy but I promise they are NOT at all....

Pour the sweet soy sauce too

I don't know the exact measurement :-)  Just eye ball it....
Sprinkle some salt and pepper

Mix them together.....

Let them marinate over night!

Cover with foil. Bake in the oven for 1 hour (350 degree)... Then drain most of the fat/juices....

Take off the foil...Broil on low to brown the chicken (uncovered).

Annie's "Resurrection Cookies" Page

~Also known as Easter Story Cookies~

You will need:

1 cup whole pecans
1 teaspoon vinegar
3 egg whites
a pinch salt
1 cup sugar
a zipper baggy
1 wooden spoon
scotch tape
Bible

Instructions:

These are to be made the evening before Easter. Preheat oven to 300F.
*** (this is very important --- don't wait until you are half done with the recipe).
Place pecans in zipper baggy and let children beat them with the wooden spoon
to break into small pieces. Explain that after Jesus was arrested. He
was beaten by the Roman soldiers. Read: John 19:1-3

Let each child smell the vinegar. Put 1 teaspoon vinegar into mixing bowl.
Explain that when Jesus was thirsty on the cross He was given vinegar
to drink. Read: John 19:28-30

Add egg whites to vinegar. Eggs represent life. Explain that Jesus gave His life
to give us life. Read: John 10:10&11

Sprinkle a little salt into each child's hand. Let them taste it and brush the rest
into the bowl. Explain that this represents the salty tears shed by Jesus' followers,
and the bitterness of our own sin. Read: Luke 23:27

So far the ingredients are not very appetizing. Add 1 cup sugar. Explain that the
sweetest part of the story is that Jesus died because He loves us. He wants us to
know and belong to Him. Read: Psalm 34:8 and John 3:16

Beat with a mixer on high speed for 12 to 15 minutes until stiff peaks are formed.
Explain that the color white represents the purity in God's eyes of those whose sins
have been cleansed by Jesus. Read: Isaiah 1:18 and John 3:1-3

Fold in broken nuts. Drop by teaspoon onto waxed paper covered cookie sheet.
Explain that each mound represents the rocky tomb where Jesus' body was laid.
Read: Matthew 27:57-60

Put the cookie sheet in the oven, close the door and turn the oven OFF.

Give each child a piece of tape and seal the oven door.
Explain that Jesus' tomb was sealed. Read: Matthew 27:65-66

GO TO BED!

Explain that they may feel sad to leave the cookies in the oven overnight.
Jesus' followers were in despair when the tomb was sealed. Read: John 16:20&22

On Resurrection Sunday (Easter) morning, open the oven and give everyone a cookie. Notice the cracked
surface and take a bite. The cookies are hollow! On the first Easter Jesus' followers were amazed
to find the tomb open and empty. Read: Matthew 28:1-9

This activity can be done as a "family" or for Sunday School. Of course the Sunday School option might be to hand it out to the class with a note to the parents. 

Grandparents might considering doing this with their grandchildren this year too!!!

We are going to make it this weekend....

I think it would be a good tradition to do with the kids... 
Feel free to try them as well...
If you do, don't forget to take the picture!
Finally, would you share your experiences and pictures 
with me please...

The first cake that started it all

When my oldest son was 6 years old, he wanted a hulk cake!  It has to be that hulk is breaking a building So here is my very first cake that I make that sparked my love for custom birthday cakes for my kids...

Nothing fancy for the recipe.  Just make one of your cake mix.  I decorated the building with icing, which did not go too "tidy"... then I break a piece of graham crackers so hulk can break them on top of the building.
