So, how did January go?

- Get to First Level – we’ve had some truly superb rides in January, despite them being few and far between, and he’s had moments of a gorgeous balance that’s not quite First Level, but it’s definitely beyond Training.
- Set up & run tack swap/sale – I have called a potential venue, conversed with the barn, and on Sunday I laid out some plans to distract myself from the Superbowl
- Take 12 lessons – 1/12, check!
- Volunteer at 6 events – hahahaha, what events, there’s 2′ of snow outside.
- Get & share 1 video per month of rides – sadly January was a bust on this

That chicken recipe sounds delicious. I’ve printed it out and will be trying it out. I’m always in need of a menu refresher at home.

It was very tasty! As a recipe note:at the end, it tells you to drain the sauce and boil it separately and mix in the corn starch slurry. I did not do that; I just dumped the slurry in the crock pot and let it go on high for a while longer. I checked it occasionally and when it was appropriately thick I served it. I like my crock pot recipes to be truly one pot.
