BzzAgent - Maggi So Juicy #GotItFree

I was given samples of the product through BzzAgent to try in exchange for sharing my thoughts. We gave the Garlic and Tomato pack a try and it did ok. Recently I decided maybe a different flavor would be better received, so we tried the Italian Countryside. That one did a lot better. The nice thing about any of these packets is the ease with which they're made. You provide the (thawed!) chicken. They provide the bag to cook in and the spice mix. You put the chicken into the bag and then add the spices (much like shake & bake) and mix. Then tie the bag closed and place in a pan to cook.

Then bake depending on how much chicken you have in the bag. We had to wait about an hour for it to finish. When you take it out of the oven, dump it out of the bag.

Simple, right? I'm not a chef and my cooking tends to be stuck in a rut. So this was a nice change of pace. I've used chicken legs (with the Garlic and Tomato) and boneless chicken thighs (with the Italian). My family seemed to prefer the Italian. My son was thinking it might be more due to the lack of bones in the second dish, I suspect that they just prefer Italian type seasoning.

In either case, it's something I'm likely to start keeping on hand for those times when I can't think of what to cook or how.

About.me

I don't have a Wordless Wednesday entry for today, so I'm going another direction. I recently found out about a word of mouth site called 'about.me'. It creates a great little summary of your self that you can share with friends, new associates and more. It's very customizable and very easy to do.

All about about.me from about.me on Vimeo.

I don't want to make this too simple (most of you that have found me know the basics, I'm sure). But, the first thing to do is to create your account. The system mostly prompts you for your starting information. You can create your title (I used my name), then enter your information. I started with my blog description and altered it somewhat since I wasn't talking about my blog.

I don't care for most pictures taken of me any more, so I selected one I do, then I used that as my background. From there it was just a matter of playing with the fonts, colors and layouts until I got it the way I wanted. I think it took me all of 30 minutes to get it set up. You can see the final product.. Check out my about.me profile!

I signed up and received a pack of free moo business cards (very nice quality, by the way). If you sign up with about.me, you can receive a pack of cards too. I use mine on outings with GCA so that I can keep in touch with new families.

I did this through BZZAgent (I receive free samples and coupons in return for my honest opinion).
