Cheery Cherry Chicken for George Washington (and me)

Do you think he really did it? At least if he did, he fessed up after. "I can not tell a lie." Or is it just another legend to show that our upstanding first President was a little rascal in his youth? In any case, it proves to the pesky children of America, a couple of whom live under my roof, that you can recover from the naughtiness and achieve great heights of respect and admiration. Why, kiddos, you might even grow up to be President of the You-Nited States. Happy Birthday, General George. I think you'd like this chicken, sir. It might even prompt you to save a few cherry trees for future generations, if I might be so bold to say so.
Remember this recipe for Cheery Cherry Chicken that I entered in the French's Cook Off? You all were kind enough to cast votes for me so that I could make it to the finals in NYC. The time has come and I'm leaving tomorrow for the Big Apple. The Cook off is Thursday morning. I'll get Sailor to do a guest post (she'll love it!) and let you know wether I win the big $25K. I'm jjjjittery!!!! I don't actually think I'll win, I don't think so, but maybe, and you never know, and it could happen. (Nervous laughter.) I made my Cheery Cherry chicken last night to practice, and also because it really was Washington's Birthday yesterday. Fellow Americans, it really is delicious. Cross my heart -"I can not tell a lie." Now, wish me some cheery-cherry good luck!

When I look at your blog in Safari, it looks fine but when opening in Internet Explorer, it has some overlapping.
I just wanted to give you a quick heads up! Other then that, wonderful blog!

The cost of the fleshlight ranges largely based on
region, style of insert, and included elements like as vibrating bullets, lubricants and cases
etc. I asked, did you feel like a slob and
