Good morning! Sorry again if I have no free time to write here and even to talk on ICQ. Today I will spend my time reading and watching TV at home because I have no classes and no work to do!
This apples are my breakfast, but I just take them off the oven. I can't wait to eat because besides the cinnamon it also have honey! Love it!
The photo looks too dark and weird but I assure you it looks very good in real.
Have a nice day!

Crispy chicken recipe
Good evening readers!
Don't know if you already know the new show of channel 4 "Cook yourself thin". Anyway, I leave here a very easy and delicious recipe.
Calories per serving, chicken with coleslaw: 519
Calories per serving, tartar sauce: 27
For the chicken
2 cloves garlic, smashed
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1 bay leaf
2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 cup nonfat buttermilk
1 pound chicken tenders (about 12)
1 1/2 cups cornflakes, crushed to medium crumbs
Nonstick cooking spray
For the tartar sauce
1 1/2 tablespoons low-fat sour cream
1 tablespoon nonfat buttermilk
Juice of 1/2 lemon
1/4 cup fresh parsley leaves, chopped
1 tablespoon drained nonpareil capers
1 tablespoon chopped sweet gherkin
1 tablespoon water
For the coleslaw1 1/2 (10-ounce) bags cabbage slaw mix
1 red bell pepper, sliced thin
2 tablespoons thin-sliced red onion
1 tablespoon low-fat sour cream
1 tablespoon nonfat buttermilk
1 tablespoon seasoned rice wine vinegar
2–3 dashes hot pepper sauce
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
8 cherry tomatoes, quartered, for garnish
1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray lightly with cooking spray. Set aside.
2. For the chicken: In a medium bowl, combine the garlic, spices and buttermilk. Add the chicken and turn in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate 1 hour.
3. For the coleslaw: In a large bowl, combine the cabbage slaw mix, bell pepper, onion and shredded herbs. In a separate smaller bowl, whisk together the sour cream, buttermilk, vinegar, hot pepper sauce, salt and pepper. Pour the dressing over the vegetables and toss to coat.
4. For the tartar sauce: Whisk together all of the ingredients in a separate small bowl.
5. Place the cornflake crumbs on a plate. Drain the chicken tenders. Pick up a chicken tender with one hand, and turn it in the cornflake coating, using the other hand to gently press additional coating onto the sides. Place on the prepared baking sheet. Continue on in this way to coat all of the chicken pieces, arranging them on the baking sheet in a single layer. Bake at 400 degrees until firm, about 15 minutes.
6. To serve, divide the coleslaw among 4 bowls. Arrange 3 chicken tenders, standing up with wide ends at the bottom and overlapping slightly, at one side of each mound. Drizzle the sauce over the chicken. Garnish bowls with chopped cherry tomatoes and fresh herbs.

Another evening
Can't survive without coffee specially with cream! Now I will spend evening reading "The Cradle will fall" by Marry Higgins Clark and thinking about this tough times I'm going through. We should enjoy this little pleasures of life to stop thinking about problems and stressful situations.
A new phase is going to begin very soon...
