..for our edification, and pure delight... Irene comes to dinner on Thursday night!
Remember the good old days of Springbok radio? I remember sitting at the supper table some evenings having to be quiet of the news was being read at the same time. And how we would linger at the table to listen to "The Mind of Tracy Dark" or "The Avengers."
But getting back to cooking. Irene goes to choir practice around the corner from us on Thursdays, so it makes absolute sense that she has supper with us.
So last night we had honey and sesame chicken. This is a fantasmogorical picnic meal. Chicken fillets are cut into biggish chunks that are dusted in corn flour and then lightly fried in our Family Frying Pan. Once beautifully browned, a little honey is oozed over to make the chicken bits sticky and then the sesame seeds are added to coat them. They are left aside to cool down for a little while and the juices also do their thing during this time. They form part of a delicious salad when added to lettuce, red and yellow peppers, rosa tomatoes and a handful of roasted cashew nuts...we like cashews. The picture shows Irene caught just before we said Grace off better than the dish...but I thought it would be nice to have a different kind of picture for a change. Have a marvelous weekend!
