MIA

For the faithful few that check this blog, I'm sorry for the lack of updates recently. The last month for me has been big.

The biggest news is that SY has moved to Chicago!! Simply amazing. We had been trying for over half a year to find SY a job here and it all finally came to fruition.

Hmm what else? work's the same and that's all I want to talk about it :)..Jon came to Illinois on a Rotary exhcange programme but was unfortunately put out in the sticks. Only 1 day out of 30 in downtown. Oh well he'll just have to come back again ;).

wtf? is that you ask? Well it's Chinese herbal cough medicine. Probably the best tasting cough syrup you'll find. Also very effective on those sore, phlegmy, coughy and dry throats. It's the honey that makes all the herbs stick to your throat on the way down.

btw I must give special mention (& thanks) to Grace for reminding me about the stuff.

I need a holiday (vacation)

I don't really have much to add since my holiday in Phuket. Work, work & work. Boring. I've already said too much about it.

Anyhow onto my passion - food. Below is a dish that is so tasty and yet so simple. Crispy skin terryaki salmon & seto fumi fuikake rice. Ok so I took a bit of liberty dressing up the names. Here's how to make it happen. Marinate a fillet of salmon in terryaki sauce (straight from the bottle). Pan fry skin side down to make it super crispy. To make it extra crispy rub a bit of sea salt on the skin. Meanwhile make some rice and once it's cooked stir in some rice seasoning (bonito flakes, sesame seeds, seaweed etc). You can get the rice seasoning in a jar from your local Japanese store. And that's it!! Soooo tasty. So quick to prepare.
