Spinach salad:

Walnuts, gorgonzola, bacon, pears, balsamic vinegar and olive oil.

Chicken Satay Appetizer:

1 lb. chicken, cut into strips

Some marinade involving veg. oil, cumin, coriander, turmeric, pepper, lemon juice, sugar, fish sauce, soy sauce

Some peanut dipping sauce involving coconut milk, ground peanuts, red curry paste, lemon juice, fish sauce

Gauze, water, box of chocolates



Mix marinade. Marinate chicken. Thread onto skewers.

Cook peanut sauce, pour into bowl.

Broil chicken skewers, place onto plate. Stupidly, idiotically, surprisingly soberly, grab the handled cook pan that HAD JUST BEEN broiling (that's 550 degrees, kids) with bare hand to place into sink. Scream, drop pan, break handle off pan, run water over all pads of fingers as second degree burn blisters form. Fight with boyfriend about whether or not one should be driven to urgent care. Apply gauze, cry, eat chocolates until sick. Forget the gnocchi with pesto sauce that was to be cooked. Type BBS message with 1 hand.

Just a burnt finger - really not that bad in comparison...

Who the fuck is "Clare"? I'll fix your post FOR FREE.

:(

Oh. Just a burnt finger? Pussy.

Next time, just do what we did: get your Valentine's day dinner from Dinosaur BBQ.

(Okay okay, I *was* going to make something for dinner yesterday, but I have a bad cold, and used that as an excuse to not cook.)

You're going to want to be careful about that. The Helpful Chef's Helpful Helper suggests draping a towel over the handle as soon as you take it out, to remind you (and others!) not to touch!

You do that too?

I think my first words after the scream were "Ben TOLD me not to do that".

Its a good thing you opted out of the flaming dessert.
