Man, this looks delicious! They say it's all about the sauce. What's cooking here is shallots, cilantro, soy sauce, wine vinegar, garlic, brown sugar, cloves, olive oil, salt and pepper. I can't wait to try it and see how this combo tastes!<br />
<br />
The recipe is on a website called Nooga, <a href="http://www.nooga.com/164668/whats-cooking-roasted-chicken-with-caramelized-shallots/">http://www.nooga.com/164668/whats-cooking-roasted-chicken-with-caramelized-shallots/</a><br />

<br />
Here's what you do: make a marinade of the ingredients, bake the chicken a little while, then douse it with the marinade and garnish with cilantro when it's done.<br />
<br />
High hopes. I bet it's dee-lishous. Let us know what you think.

<p></p>
<p>I picked this one up at the local thrift shop in Gainesville, FL - The Haven Hospice Thrift Store, arguably the best thrift store I've ever been to.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Here's what I found. It's incredibly easy to make bread with a bread machine! I Googled "Bread Machine Recipes" and found the best one at <a href="http://allrecipes.com/recipe/best-bread-machine-bread/">http://allrecipes.com/recipe/best-bread-machine-bread/</a></p>
<p>Here's the scoop:</p>
<p><a target="_self" href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2310080035?profile=original"><img class="align-full" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2310080035?profile=original" width="473"/></a>I'm sure AllRecipes won't mind the little snapshop. I always go back to their website to remind me of the simple steps.</p>

Wait for it to bubble for about 10 minutes.</p>
<p></p>

Here's the next creation I did.</p>
<p>Cinnamon Raisin bread, with organic stone ground, whole wheat & olive oil from Ward's (<a href="http://www.wardsgainesville.com/">http://www.wardsgainesville.com/</a>)</p>
<p></p>
<p>Strong recommendation - get yourself a bread machine and go for it!</p>
