Chicken Braised in Milk

A couple weeks ago, I found a recipe so strange that I was inspired to make it the next day: Chicken in Milk

I’ve marinated chicken in milk before (but always grilled it or roasted it afterward), so I knew it would have a tenderizing effect. All of the descriptions of this recipe are spot on — it’s really a quite strange flavor at first because it’s a totally new flavor combination — but it’s delicious and gets even more so as you get used to it. We ate the whole damn chicken and it was PERFECTLY TENDER. I may try different flavor combinations with milk, it was so good.

I served it with garlic mashed potatoes and boiled greens:

Look at dat PERFECTLY CRISPY ASS!!

English camp at Lampao Dam

Taro came to visit, so I brought him along on an overnight English camp to the reservoir at Lampao Dam in Kalasin. Usually this point is so crowded with people going to the “beach,” I can’t wait to leave, but because off the cold weather it’s just our group here today. At sundown, even the souvenir vendors had already left… and getting here this morning in my Crown was one of the best drives I’ve had in a long time. She is queen of the road.

Yellow Belts

Not to be confused with Yellow Max.

The governing body of Tae Kwon Do in Thailand finally sent Max and Mina’s new belts – in adult sizes! We had to wrap them around their waists 4 times! Anyway, a sharp knife in my car remedied that today (thx M).

Max can now kick hard enough to actually hurt me, but not quite hard enough to do damage. Mina can do damage if you are stupid enough to make her mad and leave your face within scratching distance. ’nuff said.
