Tonight we’re splitting a Cornish game hen, with loaded baked potatoes, cucumber salad (recipe on site) and sliced tomatoes. I’ve marinated the hen in 1 c orange juice, 1/3 c soy sauce, two sliced scallions, two sliced cloves garlic, a splash of tabasco and pepper. Before roasting it in a 400 degree oven with the potatoes next door, I’ll add a bit of honey to the marinade and boil it down into a glaze, discard the solids and paint it on in the last few minutes of roasting. I’ll let you know how it turns out. Oh, I forgot that I also added about 1/2 tsp sesame oil to the marinade and could finish with a few sesame seeds on top, which I keep in the freezer.
Tomorrow I’ll tweak this somewhat for you, if it’s any good at all. I know the ingredients are good, and work together, so will hope for the best. If I give you a recipe for peanut butter, liver and mango on date-nut bread you’ll know I’m kidding, right? Actually there was a vegetarian sandwich I used to love at this little restaurant down the street. Romaine, perfectly ripe Brie, sliced mushrooms, sprouts and avocado (tomato?) on 12-grain bread. Fantastic. Hope you cooked today and were happy with the results.

It was incredible! Jim doesn’t like to negotiate bird bones but he loved this one. With 1T honey I cooked almost down to nothing but it was a great glaze and between that and the marinating for four hours, it made the difference. Please try it!
