01/24 - Toasty Thursday!

[Despairagus]

making a menu for dinner guests this weekend...

dinner:
Big plate chicken + noodles
pan fried potstickers & dipping sauce
ginger garlic broccoli

dessert:
apple tart
vanilla ice cream

good?

I'll have everything but the apple tart, pls. That all looks great! Is the ginger garlic broccoli in a brown sauce, or literally just ginger and garlic in the broc?

not sure .50 is worth rehashing anything involving my ex.

Now you got CJ on those San Andreas jams.

I did it this morning I think it took me 25ish minutes. It felt like it wasn't going to end.

It's good to know it wasn't just me. The last big was three in a row where I had chambered up that, "Thank God I'm done with this!" feeling only to not actually be done with it.

[Liz]

I feel like your bank deserves a shout out for this. That's some fast theft reversal.

I agree!!! I couldn't believe how fast they got it taken care of.

the secret to making it really amazing is that chicken broth power you get at asian markets with MSG in (yes, really, it's been unfairly demonized)

I make it like this (just eyeballing everything);
steam the broc crisp-tender
in a separate saute pan cook the ginger and garlic in oil (1tbsp or so of each) until fragrant
add a splash of water (between 1/8th-1/4 cup) and like 1/2 tsp chicken powder & a bit of salt (and white pepper if you're fancy)
add a cornstarch water mixture (1/2-1tsp cornstarch and a few teaspoons of water)
let the 'sauce' thicken a bit and add all the broccoli and stir it around until it's all delicious

Speaking of Ex's, today is the 7th anniversary of my split from my daughter's mother after she admitted to sleeping with dudes from work.

To mark the anniversary should I:

1) Text her and tell her that I forgive her and want to leave it all in the past and focus on being good co-parents like mature adults?
2) Have her SWATed

I live in the Asian Grocery (figuratively) I've always got MSG around! I'll give this a shot next time I make broccoli. I usually add sesame oil and soysauce but sodium and all...

It's surprisingly amazing for the simplicity of it. If you're really fancy you can reconstruct the broccoli into a little mountain piece by piece (all stems facing inward) like the Chinese mom I learned it from. ompus:
