Life right now is blessedly boring. I mean, wow. I therefore mention that I make a mean honey-lemon mustard grilled chicken.
Chicken breasts
Lemon juice
Ground lemon peel
Dill
Good djon mustard (I used Grey Poupon)
Cooking sherry
Honey
All of the above are to individual tastes. For example, I spilled both the honey and the ground lemon. And oh boy, do I mean *spilled*. The mustard was in fact me trying to compensate.
Marinate chicken in mix of the above for as long as you can stand (not longer than about a day, though). We cooked it using one of the George Foreman grills; I'm sure that it would've been tasty any other way, too.
Tastes exceptionally good with a side of green beans, lightly peppered, garliced, and ever so gently buttered. And cooked in a pan, not boiled to death in a pot of water. Fresh cherries were desert. Which, BTW, is where most of the 'sweets' budget is likely to get diverted to for as long as they are available. Well, them and the strawberries.
There's this planter right outside our front door that I may wind up planting an herb mix in this spring. Hmmmmmm. I could get used to this domestic thing, y'know.

Date: 2007-08-07 05:17 pm (UTC)I've been thinking of trying to grow herbs in a planter inside the house in order to give the cats a treat. I've never tried to grow herbs, other than the occasion catnip, which my wife always seems to find and "accidentally" kill.
