My Classmate's Daughter

I just transferred my computer table in our room, and after doing it I found out that I need to buy a new ergonomic chair. This afternoon we headed to an office supply depot and look for that chair. Incidentally, my classmate together with his family is also looking for a computer set. While talking to my classmate, I noticed that her daughter has a poor eye sight because she read the price tags so close to her face. I told my classmate to bring her daughter to an optical clinic and have an eye checkup for her daughter.

Zenni Optical was on FOX news!, this is one of the many reasons why I trust Zenni Optical and recommended it to my classmate. Great Eyeglasses For Less is waiting to every client of Zenni Optical. After our conversation, my friend is so convinced about Zenni and thanked me for that. Me for one is planning to have a Variable Dimension Frames From Zenni. I wish I could have this before this year ends.


Don’t forget to also check Zenni on Fox.

Apricot-Chicken Pot Stickers

Ingredients:
2 cups plus 1 tablespoon water, divided
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 8 ounces)
2 cups chopped finely shredded cabbage
1/2 cup apricot fruit spread
2 green onions with tops, finely chopped
2 teaspoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
30 (3-inch) wonton wrappers
Prepared sweet-and-sour sauce (optional)

Preparation:
1. Bring 2 cups water to a boil in medium saucepan. Add chicken. Reduce heat to low; simmer, covered, 10 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink in center. Set aside chicken; drain saucepan.
2. Add cabbage and remaining 1 tablespoon water to saucepan. Cook over high heat 1 to 2 minutes or until water evaporates, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat; cool slightly.
3. Finely chop chicken. Add to saucepan along with preserves, green onions, soy sauce, ginger and pepper; mix well.
4. To assemble pot stickers, remove 3 wonton wrappers at a time from package. Spoon slightly rounded tablespoonful chicken mixture onto center of each wrapper; brush edges of wrapper with water. Bring 4 corners together; press to seal. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
5. Spray steamer with nonstick cooking spray. Assemble steamer so that water is 1/2 inch below steamer basket. Fill steamer basket with pot stickers, leaving enough space between them to prevent sticking. Cover; steam 5 minutes. Transfer pot stickers to serving plate. Serve with prepared sweet-and-sour sauce, if desired.
