So today I wanted to make my first meal and I was more than excited. I had been looking through my recipes and cookbooks all day. My husband was hogging the computer doing his "school" work" and I had to make due with the few cookbooks that I had. Surprisingly I found many interesting recipes to use with my list. I was so excited that I decided to make my first meal (I still felt unprepared with my kitchen accessories) I chose a recipe in my crock-pot cookbook. I grabbed all my ingredients and set them on the counter. I threw the chicken in to defrost for ten minutes and cut up all my sauce ingredients (ginger, lime juice, soy sauce, salsa, peanut butter, cilantro for garnish). I don't know why I was rushing but didn't defrost the chicken all the way and it was still a tad bit frozen when I cut it up and settled it into the pot. I mixed the rest together and smoothed over the slightly frozen chicken, put the crock-pot on low and cleaned up my mess.
In the meantime, my terrific hubby and I went to Ross for clothes, but I was too distracted with my lack of kitchen supplies. As I wandered off into the kitchen section I found a killer souffle dish and two blue creme brulee dishes. When my husband found me he just chuckled. Later that day, I was with my friend Bri and we were on our way to Target for an emergency springform pan adventure. She was suppose to help me but she couldn't keep up because I was running. I was getting really anxious because some people (Amanda and Joel) had come over and were going to eat my Thai Chicken and they didn't have any rice. So we went on another emergency run to get Minute Rice. Then we ran out. However my anxious thoughts subsided because they left to get something faster like Taco Bell or McDonalds. Anyways, I got home and took a picture of my creation which looked like baby vomit. I was not impressed. When Amanda was here she told me that when she looked at it she couldn't even see the chicken part! Plus Gabriel asked me a couple of times if it was even chicken! Okay people, I know what I am doing. Back to dinner, I served up some rice and thai chicken for Bri and Gabriel with cilantro for garnish (which Bri ate after her meal all at once) I took some pictures of the first bite and they .....loved it!
