I was so terribly impressed with Becky and myself yesterday. She told me we were grilling chicken for dinner. She expressed regret that she didn't have any marinade.

I asked if she had soy sauce. She did.

She also had some very nice sweet chile sauce that she and James use for dipping things.

She put lemon juice and chile sauce in a bowl, and added soy sauce. She then suggested ginger. She happened to have a fresh ginger root. I grated some and tossed it into the bowl. Then in went a little garlic powder and some olive oil.

Marinated the chicken.

Tossed it on the grill, and sprinkled it with sesame seeds.

GRILLED AND ATE 'EM AND THEY WERE SO SO SO SO SO SO TASTY.

Also, Sunday night I had Chinese food and got the weirdest fortune in my cookie. "A blonde from afar has something interesting for you." Bran from work says he got one once that said "Try again later. :)" It's like the fortune fairies aren't even trying anymore.

We had a bunch of rice left over from dinner a few nights ago, so I decided to try my hand at rice pudding. I'd never made it before, but I found this really easy recipe online and modified it a little bit.

Awesome Rice Pudding

3 cups cooked white rice
3 cups milk (I use a can of evaporated milk and one cup of regular stuff, to make it creamier)
2/3 cup sugar
2 tbsp butter
1/2 cup raisins
1 tsp vanilla extract
Zest of 1 lemon, grated
1 tsp cinnamon, divided

Directions
Combine cooked rice, milk, sugar, and butter in a medium saucepan. Add raisins and vanilla (if you're using nuts, don't add them till you've taken the pan off the heat). Cook for 25 minutes until most of the liquid is absorbed. Mix in lemon zest and 1/2 tsp of cinnamon (and nuts, if you have them). Spoon pudding into a serving dish and dust with remaining cinnamon. May serve chilled or at room temperature.

I added craisins instead of raisins, orange zest instead of lemon zest, and chopped almonds, and had orange-cranberry-nut pudding. Great stuff!
