2010/03/29 Supper

From 2010/03/29 Supper

Mango Curry chicken with cheese sausage and brown rice. The chicken was marinated for about 30h in VH sauce, then cooked with the sausage on low for about 30 minutes.

It was great chicken/sausage, but I don't like brown rice as much. I assume it's better for me. I managed to make the right amount of everything, so I didn't have to finish off 5 mouthfuls of dry rice, or scoop up lots of left over sauce.

I got new place mats and candles, so here's a picture of those:

Tea eggs. This is been an ongoing quest, the ingredients and cooking method. I tried to buy anise but failed to actually pick up the right spice bottle. I made my most recent with tea, fennel seed, celery seed, dill, garlic, worcester sauce, chili powder and soy sauce. I boil them for about 10 minutes, crack the shell a bit, then let them simmer for an hour or more.

Still haven't gotten them how they traditionally taste, but they have always been good. Sometimes I crack the shells well and I get a nice marble effect. Other times the white seeps out and looks like an egg-growth.

Home made pizza. We didn't make much, though, the crust was bought. The one with no veggies belonged to Maggie.

They were quite good, but not as good as the ones we made for "Goodbuy Lulu, let's make pizza." Easy to make, but hard to setup and clean.

Deviled eggs. Most of what went into them is there. It's spring, so we have lots of eggs coming from DeHaan farms.

I like these the more things go into them, and these had only a few ingredients. They were still good, but I would have liked more variety.

From 2010/02/21 Supper

Chicken with Brie, BBQ sauce, dill, garlic and rosemary.

It doesn't look good, but it was tasty. To be honest, this was so long ago, I don't remember much about it.
