Thai BBQ Chicken Recipe


Thai was my first real cooking obsession and now it's back on the menu!
These Thai BBQ chicken fillets were one of the first Thai recipes I ever succeeded in cooking and back then, I would cook these fillets under the kitchen grill, not the BBQ like I do now. Both
work great.

I fell in love with Thai food in the very late 1990’s, which was shortly after I fell in love with my now Husband. No coincidence there, he was already in love with Thai so the introduction was inevedidable.

In October 2007, our terminally ill son James had began his steep and final decline. The last meal we ate in his presence was Thai. I lost 20kg in 2 weeks, through lack of appetite and it would be years before I enjoyed another massaman curry or chicken and cashew or any Thai food at all.

I’m guessing I won't win any prize for the ‘feel good’ story of the month here.
Taste can be overlooked or considered a secondary sense but it has the power to take us to a different time, arouse lost feelings, comfort us, make us sad or delight us.
For me, a good Thai meal does all of these and more.

"You don't work. Why would you need a day off?" Full time parents are often guilted out of putting their children in daycare. The decision to forgo paid employment to stay at home with your children negates any rights to personal time out, bathroom and lunch breaks, personal space, sile nce and the last slice of cake.  Why would a stay at home parent even need to put their kids in childcare?

Butterscotch Pudding - Self Saucing

When you say, "Winter Comfort Food," I immediately think pudding. Steaming hot pudding. Butterscotch has got to be my all time favorite.
