as i started it here, however, i thought i'd post this on lj.
tonight's candidate for 'the book,'
browned chicken in a sauce of o.j., honey, sesame oil, garlic and chives
- ~1# chicken breast chunked, patted dry and lightly floured in ~1/4 cup seasoned flour, then browned in light oil (e.g., canola, peanut, safflower) and set aside.
- deglaze pan w/ 2 cup* oj, stirring up fond(brown stuff) with whisk, mixing in ~1Tbsp honey, 1/2 T soy sauce (low-salt), 1/2 T toasted/brown sesame oil (vs. raw/light), 1tsp parsley, 1 t chives and i clove fresh garlic, minced or thin sliced.
- heat and stir, allowing oj to deglaze pan, boil off some water, dissolve honey, re-hydrate herbs, etc.
- now whisk in remaining seasoned flour to thicken, return to simmer/biol to reach full thickness.
- return chicken pieces to pan, turning to coat w/sauce,& reduce heat to 'warm'/low(est), stirring into sauce any juices from their dish. ... See more
- let sit couple mins to absorb flavors and serve with brown rice and steamed or stir-fried vegs.
* so as to have sauce for rice
cousin's boy already suggested the addition of some ginger (knew i liked him B^J ).
also decided that the experiment of adding a bit of sesame oil to the cooking brown rice to enhance he nutty flavor is a success to be repeated.
any further thoughts/comments/ideas?

I just took action to help pass the marriage equality bill by asking my state senator to vote for S. 4401, the marriage equality bill, which could come up for a vote as early as today. The Human Rights Campaign has made it quick and easy to email your state senator. I hope you'll help out too!

| Your Word is "Why" |
You question everything and believe very little. And whatever you believe is likely to change. You are interested in theories, philosophies, and religions... even if you don't buy into any of them. You are also fascinated by how things work. You'd like to understand as much in the world as possible. |

You are provocative and challenging. You help people realize who they really are. You live a very balanced life. You always take time for love and art. You are both a powerful and generous person. You always have time to give back. People find you to be incredibly ethical and loyal. |
not bad, that.

"As you may know, Mormon donors played a critical and extensive
role in passing California's ban against marriage for gay and
lesbian couples. And they've been feeling the heat ever since.
But leaders of the Utah-based Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter-day Saints (LDS) insist that they're not "anti-gay," that
it's only marriage equality they're concerned about. They have
even said they support same-sex civil unions.
Let's see that commitment in action.
Use the link below to send a message to the LDS President Thomas
S. Monson urging him to publicly support legislation with real
protections for LGBT citizens in Utah:

bit of polishing and typing must occur before it's ready for export en mass. any recipes in particular you'd like sent as singles?
'fond' is the brown bits _in_ the pan from cooking the chicken, caramelized meat proteins. 'fond' is what makes 'fondue', i.e., 'sauce.' B^J
bright green good, also some bright orange carrot,…
as it would be more a gen.tsou's kinda deal, and i was going for sweet, vs. hot.
a small hit of pepper (be it black, white, red, green, long or cayenne or jalapeno sauce) would be another idea,…
Though...adding the pepper flakes I would leave…
