Dinner Tonight: Week of May 5

[jglass]

Tonight Japanese Mum's Chicken

In case anyone is curious here is the recipe.
8 chicken drumsticks, skin on (the skin is important for flavour, and is so tasty to eat!)
1 cup water
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
1/3 cup soy sauce
2 1/2 tablespoons sugar
1 garlic clove, peeled and bruised
1 small hot chili pepper, slit open, seeds removed

Place all the ingredients in a saucepan over a high heat.
Bring to the boil, then reduce to a simmer for about 20 minutes.
Remove any scum that rises to the surface.
Increase the heat, turning the drumsticks frequently in the sauce, and cook until the liquid has reduced to a sticky glaze.
Arrange the chicken on a serving platter, remove the garlic clove and chili from the liquid, and spoon the glaze over.

I didn't reply yesterday cause my husband took me to the Mandarin House for dinner. lol so I didn't actually cook anything at all. Usually once a week we have "Mom's Night Off" and David brings something home or we go out. Because Mother's Day is coming up we went ahead and splurged for good Chinese.

I'm not sure what's doing tonight. We're going to my sister's after D gets home from work. We did have gnocchi and marinara sauce for lunch though (Thanks Uggie! )

Well, Cole, if you're going to Sis' we know what you're having: Japanese Mum's Chicken.

That weren't so hard to figure out.

See they loved Mama's marinara and gnocchi as much as we did.
They went out to eat. All I fed them when they got here was cherry cheesecake, chocolate chip cookies and oreo cookie ice cream cones. Gotta get that sugar buzz going before they go home lol.
