dolphins_logJuli left for work early. About two hours later I followed. TJ Maxx was having its employee, and spouse, 20% off weekend. So I picked up 4 shirts and 3 cargo shorts.
I stopped by at Barnes & Noble to search for some manga. Instead I found "Black Powder War" by Naomi Novik. Del Rey has done something interesting with Novik's books. I'm sure it's been done before, I've just never seen it done. Novik's trilogy was completed some time ago and only released just this year. "His Majesty's Dragon" in April. "The Jade Throne" in early May, and "Black Powder War" just recently. I've read the first two already. I just think that's an effective way to release the work.
My next task, come back home and check movie times for "Over the Hedge". FUN FUN FUN!!! Even with the full theater of kids. BECAUSE of the full theater of kids!!!! A side note here; Juli likes to watch "The Apprentice". One to the episodes the winners got to do voice work for "Over the Hedge". They did the voices of people being bowled over by the rottweiler, and watching the credits, sure enough, there they were.
My final task was to cook up "Caribbean Chicken" for dinner. I haven't made that for about 5 years. Tasty dinner. It takes about 20 minutes of prep time and one hour to cook. I finished just as Juli got home. Tasty Dinner!!! We'll have Ben & Jerry's New York Chocolate Chunk later tonight.
[This is from the "Lean and Luscious volume II" cookbook.]
"Caribbean Chicken"
2 Teaspoons vegetable oil
1 pound boned and skinned chicken parts. [I use chicken breast sliced into strips]
1 large onion, sliced [one cup]
2 large tomatoes, chopped [2 cups]
2 Table Spoons Soy Sauce
1/4 cup water
1 clove garlic, minced [I use 3. There is never enough garlic]
1/8 Teaspoons pepper
2 Teaspoons Curry Powder
1 Table Spoon Parsley Flakes
[I added a handful of fresh spinach. 10 oz Frozen works as well.]
Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet. Add chicken and brown lightly on all sides [or just stir it up a bit]. Reduce the heat to low.
Add everything else and toss the spinach on top. Mix well.
Cover and cook for one hour, stirring occasionally. [keep and eye on it to see if you'll need to add water.]
Serve with rice. Makes four servings.
