Remember "Chicken Tonight?"

When I was a Junior in college I had a room-mate who used to make the sweet and sour chicken tonight over white rice.  I did not know how to cook at this point in my life and she was nice enough to share with me once in a while.  Since then I have had nostalgic cravings for this meal but I guess they stopped making the stuff years ago.  I found this the other day and IT TASTES ALMOST EXACTLY THE SAME!!!  Yay!!!  This meal is dedicated to my old friend Tory.  Oh I found this at Shaw's.

Almost new side table

BEFORE
Every night we read in Cam's room and the books are scattered everywhere.  I have storage but when bedtime rolls around it is a mad dash to grab a book and get settled in for a story.  Having a small table with a pile of books handy was what I was hoping for.  I found an old table in my basement that was asking for a makeover.  I mod podged some maps from an old atlas onto the table and spray painted the table oil rubbed bronze.  Now we have the perfect side table!
