Food bloggers are supposed to post beautiful photos of their culinary creations, right?  Yeah, not this time.  Last night’s dinner was such a bust.  I’d had this recipe bookmarked for a while and finally was going to make it.  I defrosted the chicken, mixed all my ingredients, and cooked it to the specifications.  The only mistake I can think of that may have been made on my part is that the chicken was frozen and only 2/3 defrosted when I started cooking it.  Maybe that poached it too much?

Regardless, this is what it’s supposed to look like:

So pretty, right?  Sticky and sweet and a little savory.  I couldn’t wait to eat it.  Until it came out of the oven looking like this:

Vomit.  Looks like poached disgusting fish.

And there you have it, the reason we went out for Chinese food last night.
