So what's for Sunday Dinner
I'm in an Asian mood. I'm going to pan fry some Panko breaded chicken ...dip in a Sambal tainted egg wash. Some whole wheat spaghetti with a sauce of Mai ploy,garlic and butter (Unbelievably good) and some stir fried broccoli and garlic. It' my once a month full o fat meal!

Hope you enjoy your lovely dinner, dear. :hug:

14. Bingo.
I never called it that, and even hated that name for it, until I made the recipe I'm now using as my standard. :hi:

2. Weather's nice so we're grilling out...
nothing special...need to pick up some fresh veggies. I'm in the mood for some jalapeno cheese bread and the kids want a chocolate chip poundcake so that will be the extent of my baking today. :)

3. mmmm may ploi
Your meal sounds scrumptious. I've decided to do stir fry more often. Last week I realized that adding a big handful of unsalted cashews upped the protein in my stir fry without adding carbs.

Tonight? Corned beef, cauliflower mash with a bit of dill and grainy mustard in it, and a slaw made with savoy cabbage, bits of red onion, diced pear, chopped toasted walnuts and dressing of rice wine vinegar, grapefruit juice and bit of oil. Fusion is the best description of the meal. Ha!

Busy busy day today, dedicated to the maintenance and care of the Border Collie. Bath, home treatment of hot spots, and a long long walk. That and it's Frank Sinatra afternoon on the local jazz radio.

4. Red snapper
Not sure how I'll do it, I'll give it the sniff test to see what kind of flavoring it might need.

Rice pilaf, salad.

5. Not quite sure
We have a Memorial gathering for a shirtail relative (daughter's inlaw granny) at a crematorium, non-religious and no "Lutheran Ladies Little Lunch" and it's running from 6pm - 8:30. I baked up some chicken breast last night, rice, and broccali, but have no clue when we're going to eat - before or after. Seriously, no clue. It's not a dress-up thing either - no-ties, dresses, just slacks. One more new thing to experience, I guess. The late relative was 92, so not entirely unexpected.

8. Mai Ploy makes several sauces
but perhaps the one is sweet chili sauce it's sort of hot sweet and sour with garlic sauce really really good stuff, I think some fast food place can't remember which is advertising it as a "new" dipping sauce for chicken nuggets, might make the otherwise nasty things eatable almost

15. Yes...Mai Ploy is a brand of sauces
What I call Mai Ploy is their hot and sweet chili sauce ...(Which is far far better than that dipping sauce currently being offered at McDonalds) It's usually used as a dip for dumplings I think but I have a local restaurant who has now inspired me to mix it with butter and chopped garlic to pour over pasta. It's amazing!

9. I did a Moroccan Chicken with Olives and Lemon recipe.
Mmmmmmm.....came out yummy and smells even better. I also had a sweet tooth so I made a scrumptious Sock-It-To-Me cake. I am going to take most of it to work tomorrow because it is too dangerously good!
