I could never get this recipe right, so I finally looked it up. I liked this one because of its simplicity, but I did tweak it a bit with the advice of everyone before me...first I sauted the garlic and onion, added my chicken to brown and then seasoned with pepper...NO SALT. Then added apple cider vinegar and lite soy in the amounts given. I added water to cover the chicken (didn't measure), added a huge bay leaf (or 2 small ones) and the juice of a lime. I let simmer on medium for 25-30 minutes until the juices reduced...I could hear the pot sizzling...that's how reduced. We all loved it...not too salty and the hint of lime is beautiful. Thanks to everyone for their suggestions.

This is the best biscuit strawberry shortcake recipe I've tried. I took all the advice given...left out the cream of tartar and cut the baking powder down to 3...added 1/2 tsp of salt...brushed with cream and sprinkled with sugar...soaked the strawberries overnight...AND made real whipped cream. It turned out tender and sooo delicious...not too sweet and the taste resembled a tea biscuit. Could not have been better for me and my crowd.

Forget the double boiler and crock pot and use your microwave!...I put my chips, or baking squares, or chopped up leftover easter bunnies from the freezer with the shortening in a pyrex on MED for 1 minute. I stir and then put back in on MED for 30-60 seconds, depending on the thickness of the chunks. It will be lumpy, but the pyrex will still be warm. Continue stirring until the rest of the chocolate melts. Also I put them straight into small cupcake liners and serve them that way. These are great and always yeild rave reviews. Good luck.
