I found a recipe online for chicken with stuffing and orange juice but I cant find it again. Where is it? - Jake E. Austin, TX

Jake the Snake and the fat man,
Good thing you called The Hotline.  Any recipe with stuffing in  it is a recipe worth making, and then subsequently worth devouring by yourself, alone, in a dark kitchen at 2am while everyone else is asleep, with the fan on so no one can smell it. And then the next morning you're so bloated from all the carbs that you swear off stuffing for the rest of your life but we both know that's just a false sense of repentance...I remember that night.

Regardless of regrettable yet oh-so-intentional late night chicken indulgences, I do believe this is the link to the recipe for chicken with perks that you desire.

SWEET CITRUS CHICKEN
1-2/3 cups hot water
1 pkg.  (6 oz.) STOVE TOP Stuffing Mix for Chicken
6 small Boneless skinless chicken breast halves (1-1/2 lb.), pounded to 1/2-inch thickness
2/3 cup  Orange juice
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
3 Tbsp.  Butter or margarine, melted 
HEAT oven to 400ºF.
ADD hot water to stuffing mix; stir just until moistened.
PLACE chicken in 13x9-inch baking dish. Mix juice, sugar and butter until blended; pour over chicken. Top with stuffing.
BAKE 30 min. or until chicken is done (165ºF).
For Jake's sake, keep your dignity.  Don't eat it all at once.

What should I eat for lunch? - Adam L. Okland, CA

A-Team,
Good thing you called The Hotline. If there was ever a time to eat a club sandwich, now is the time. Three slices of bread and a frilly toothpick always scream"eat me." Request a toothpick with red frills, as red is an appetite stimulant...you might as well be extra hungry while you're at it. And get this - you don't even have to be in the club, just tell them The Hotline sent you, and they'll fork over the sandwich, no questions asked. But don't tell the secret or everyone will think they can get one.

Enjoy your club member privileges during your lunch hour today.

I'm repainting an old beat up wooden chair. What fabric would look nice? - Hannah T. Minneapolis, MN.

Hannah Banana,
Good thing you called The Hotline. You were potentially on the verge of making a very embarrassing chair-related mistake. This kind of emergency is right up there with not striking oil and slipping on banana peels. Luckily, I am a chair expert. A chairpert, if you will. We chairperts are a lonely breed, but we do have friends in  seating arrangements, sofas, futons, and toilets.
Think of all the hordes of neighbors, friends, relatives, acquaintances, in-laws, and that one weird lady who starts talking to you at the meat counter in the grocery store even though you don't really know her but you think she's the mom of that really quiet girl at school - you know the one who always has her eyes closed like she's thinking really hard, all of whom will come to your house purely to sit on your refurbished chair, which has been painted a fresh coat of glossy black, and has cozy lime green and cream swirly fabric...a refreshing change from the once bland forgotten wooden chair.

Thanks for calling The Hotline. You did yourself a great favor.
Good Luck with your new black green and cream seat.
