We hosted Father's Day yesterday. Luckily the weather turned out to be perfect after some heavy rain. The humidity vanished after 6:00. It was the first time my husband and I were able to have both sides of the family over at once. We were very worried we weren't able to fit everyone but because the rain subsided, the backyard provided extra room. Everyone had a great time.

We broke in our new grill and barbequed some chicken. I made my own marinade for the chicken and it was pretty tasty. Here is the recipe:

Ingredients:

1. 1 cup of ketchup
2. 1/4 cup of lite soy sauce
3. 1/4 cup of rice vinegar
4. 1/3 cup of honey
5. 3/4 pineapple juice
6. 1 tsp of ginger
7. 1/2 tsp of chopped garlic
8. black pepper to taste
9. 1 tsp of chives

Method:
  Over medium heat, stir soy sauce, honey, pineapple juice, ginger, and garlic to a simmer.
Reduce heat and add ketchup, chives, and pepper. Simmer over low heat for 25 minutes.
Stir occasionally. Keep in refrigerator until needed.

* I poured it over the chicken I was planning to BBQ and left in the fridge overnight to marinade.
