Fairy Figurine Collectibles and Gifts

Posted in Blog by Nelson Axtell on September 26, 2011

Add a dash of magic to your home accents with a fairy figurine. Who can resist a fairy’s beautiful wings and playful attitude. If you want a touch of whimsy and find angel figurines too spiritual or religious, then a spirited fairy figurine might be just the thing. Fairies are reputed for getting into all sorts of mischief. You might find yourself saying what we do when something goes inexplicably wrong around the house, Must have been those darn fairies!

Your indoor planters are the ideal place to tuck and fairy or two. Pick one with a beautiful costume and you’ll brighten your foliage on the darkest winter day.

Teen agers can be the devil to buy for. If your teen ager is into fantasy art and literature, there are many stunning fairy figurines that they’ll love. You might even search for a fairy and unicorn figurine. One look at this style of figurine and your teen will start to imagine all sorts of quests for her favoite heroine.

Don’t worry if your teen is obsessed with fairy fantasy art. Well okay worry if she wants to dress like a fairy warrior to go to tenthy grade. But short of that, fairy artwork is truly beautiful. You might even be able to share her interest in art and go to a gallery or museum. It would be a great way to connect on her level!

Southern BBQ Chicken Recipe

Posted in Blog by Neil Briney on July 3, 2011

If you enjoy the traditional ingredients associated with southern food, and you enjoy barbecued chicken, this recipe is a great combination of the two. My BBQ chicken recipe requires several seasonings that are commonly found in southern food dishes. If you’re not ready to experience a little sweet heat, decrease the amount of hot seasoning agents to suit your taste.

 

Southern BBQ Chicken Recipe

Ingredients:

Cut-up fryer

2 tablespoons brown sugar

2 teaspoons salt

2 teaspoons paprika

2 teaspoons black pepper

2 teaspoons cayenne

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 cup ketchup

½ cup molasses

1/3 cup Louisiana hot sauce

¼ cup prepared mustard

1 teaspoon minced garlic

Salt and pepper, to taste

Directions: Rinse chicken parts and pat dry. Combine brown sugar, 2 teaspoons salt, paprika, 2 teaspoons black pepper, cayenne, garlic powder, and onion powder in a bowl. Rub mixture on chicken, getting some underneath skin. Place rubbed chicken pieces in a pan or dish and cover. Leave in the refrigerator for at least two hours.

Line a baking sheet with foil. Place chicken on foil and bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. While the chicken is baking, make the sauce. Combine ketchup, molasses, hot sauce, mustard, garlic, and salt and pepper in a small pot. Bring mixture to a boil and reduce heat. Simmer sauce for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

When chicken has cooked for 30 minutes, pour liquid off baking pan. Dip each piece of chicken in barbecue sauce and return to pan. Increase oven temperature to 400 and continue cooking chicken until juices run clear.
