Wine & Curry?

So I finally made my first wine cork project. It's not much, but I like it...& I found out you CAN get seriously burned by a hot glue gun. Probably shouldn't drink & craft. Anyway, next project will be better, next curry too...I won't even share the recipe because it didn't taste good. I received a large amount of curry powder as a gift, and the first try was not great. I have many more recipe ideas to go, but any tips are encouraged! I'm writing this for anyone, but sadly I know only my family is reading. So guys, what do you think of my first attempt with a glue gun? Minus the burns...

Chicken Lettuce Wraps


I don't know if the picture captured it's essence, but I promise it was delish! I used 1 chicken breast, 1/2 a carrot, 1/4 onion, 1 slice of ginger, 1 garlic clove, & 2 green onions. I used the other chicken breast for a yummy stir fry, but I will definitely double the recipe next time. So I diced all those ingredients & mixed them together, except the green onions. Then I cooked it in a large frying pan until chicken was cooked through. Then I added the green onions & sauces. The sauces I used were 2 tbs soy sauce, 3 tbs hoisin sauce, & 1 tsp sesame oil. I cooked it on med-high until all flavors were together. I served it on a bed of crispy wontons, with iceberg lettuce pieces.
