A Winning Marinade Recipe

Is one that the family likes so much, you make two quart batches of it!
This is not a refreshing drink, this is my latest batch of the Sweet Chili marinade I came up with a couple of months ago to use on chicken legs. Since then, it has been used on boneless breasts, fried wings and pork chops.

I started making enough to use once, but the last trip to the Asian market, I decided that it made sense to buy two bottles of the key ingredient and then make a ton of the stuff to have on hand for whatever is needed.

Now I need to restock the rest of the ingredients, because I wiped out the pantry tonight!

ETA-I meant to put the recipe up, and forgot. Those of you on Facebook have seen in in my notes, so don't worry that this is something new.

Sweet Chili Sauce Marinade
2/3 cup sweet chili sauce (my local Asian Market carries May Ploy)
1/2 cup pineapple juice
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/4 cup rice wine vinegar
1/4 cup sesame oil

I'm going to try adding a tablespoon of fresh minced ginger to the next batch and see how it comes out...

hmm, for more things to try... some cilantro, and if you want to go on a thai swerve, a little coconut milk and fish sauce. ;)

But yes, I am gonna totally swipe this from you and try it.

Baba, Thanks! Such kind words you had, too. I'm flattered.

Vixen, The recipe has been added.

Jeff, I have plans for some red curry paste and coconut milk for a braising sauce.
Ed had leftover wings last night tossed in this sauce. He took the leftover and made a cream cheese spread. It was gooooood.

Wal Mart Your Zone $500.00 Gift Card Contest!

Note to new visitors-this contest has ended. Thank you. For several months now, I have participated in WalMart 's Beyond Eleven Moms, a collective of bloggers who partner with WalMart to give feedback on products already in stores and ideas about products that the company can offer in their stores. Last month, I was approached to help test out a new product line in the stores. Many retailers offer room decor for youngsters and college students, but affordable furniture, bedding and decor for teens was hard to find. Enter Your Zone ! We were sent a $500.00 WalMart gift card and given a mission: redo a bedroom whatever way you like within that amount for your teen. If you asked me to do it anywhere else, I think I could buy a bed and a dresser and be done. The whole point of Your Zone is that your teen can change things without breaking the bank. First up, let's find a bed! The beds the boys have are the bunk beds we bought at Ikea back when Chef graduated out of a crib. ...

Webmaster Alex speaks Anonymously

**Please note, this post was written in 2008, over 7 years ago.  This is not current, but remains to detail the DISboards bannings.** The other day, I wrote of my banning from the Disboards, a site I belonged to for six years. I was banned for participating in another site, as were approximately 35 others. The list will be posted further in this entry. If you skip this post because it doesn't mean anything except to the participants, I don't mind. This is mainly out there for the hundreds (over 7,500 now!**) of Google searches that have been directed to my blog since the bannings. Lord knows, anytime anyone asks a question on the Disboards, it'll be poofed faster than you can say "delete." Curiously, I received an anonymous comment that rambled on and on. It rather reminded me of Socrates, my older brother who has delusions of grandeur. When I first read the comment, I thought, "Oh goody, a moderator has come to call me a bully." Wanna re...

Olde Town Pizzeria and Pasta, Plant City

Image
While New York style thin crust is my absolute favorite pizza, there is a place in my heart for Chicago Deep Dish, too. When Pizzeria Uno expanded years ago and opened one on LI convenient to the movie theatre my dad, sister and I patronized most often, it got a lot of our business. Years later, I even got a job waiting tables at Uno's, because I loved their product. Here in Florida, we've got several places that serve the pizza that you eat with a fork and knife. This is good, because the nearest Uno's locations flank either side of Walt Disney World and are way too hectic to consider on anything but a weeknight. Enter Olde Town. Their Brandon location is in the same little strip mall as Carvel, so it was a matter of time before we decided to give them a try. When we did, we agreed that it was dumb to wait so long, because their representation of deep dish is so good: flaky crust, bright tomato sauce, plentiful fillings and an atmosphere that is pleasant and relaxing...
