About a 1-2 month old email from The Dish with Food & Wine gave me ideas. The recipe was Soy-Glazed Chicken Yakitori and I do not have permission to publish it.
I had to order sweet Indonesian soy sauce (ketjap manis) from Amazon (rather than make caramel in the tinny pots that are here in our rented townhome). The first time I made it, for guests, using cheap wooden skewers, it was good and very sweet. Then I found out our printer had cut off the last two ingredients when printing the page, Sriracha and garlic! It was much better when I made it last night, quite a kick! We bought flat skewers with a metal “cage” in which they can be grilled and turned. It made quite a difference.
Last night I had chicken breast, red onion, scallion, red pepper and pineapple. Just mixing things up a bit! It was great though I should have made rice. Next time.
The farmers’ market was good today but I didn’t get much, only some farmer-made feta cheese that I included in our burgers tonight, along with some scallions. Also a peanut butter cookie for the dog. Not much but we had a nice lunch outdoors and we couldn’t do that at last week’s market when we were scrambling to get our nephew gloves and headgear from our winter coat pockets! Lots of people donned tank tops, shorts and sandals today but at lunch I was happy to have long pants, shoes and a denim jacket because there was quite a breeze.
Hope all you dads out there had a happy Fathers’ Day! We both called our dads today to express our gratitude. When I was young my sister and I would have Dad take us to the Zoo, a three-hour round-trip drive. If he didn’t feel like a dad Sunday morning, he certainly did by that evening! Sorry, Dad. Cheers and have a great week, Dee
