Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

Honey Chicken


Made this roast honey chicken for dinner last night.  Again my good friend Jo came to the rescue.  Easy to cook and am sure this dish will please any child as it is sweet.

Ingredients:  

2 chicken thighs (deboned)  -  cleaned and marinate with some salt and pepper,
                                                             sesame oil is optional
2 tabsp honey               )
1 tabsp oyster sauce     )     mix together  -  I added 1 tsp brandy


Method:

1)      Spread the chicken meat onto a baking tray with skin down.  Cover with a piece of foil.
         Roast the chicken for 1/2 hour at 200 deg C.  

2)      Remove the tray from oven and discard the liquid.  Put back the chicken thighs onto
         the tray this time with the skin facing up.   Spoon the honey/oyster sauce mixture on top of the
         chicken and roast another 15 mins.(without the foil)  and they should be ready!
          The chicken meat is tender, juicy and sweet. Do not roast it too long, otherwise the meat
          will be tough.

Bird




Finally managed to capture this little bird that comes to this plant on my porch everyday.  The photos are blur as I have to shoot through a thin layer of curtain and the glass.  It is a very tiny bird and sings too.
