So I guess they killed Bhutto. Completely fucked up. I can't say I'm surprised... but it's fucked up
I just got out on a short stint in l'hopital again. (hm... I thought I knew how to say "again" in french but I can't recall for the life of me. The internet says it's "de nouveau" but that doesn't sound right to me). Happy holidays indeed. On the upside sex, beer, music, and food (preferably in succession) are that much better for the hunger. I got a hoodie and a wok for christmas. I never had a hoodie before, it's sort of nice.
I was going to make this an '07 roundup entry but who knows what'll happen with Brangelina in the next week!! (!)
I think I'm gonna go to Ireland in 2008.

As for the hoodie I never really have been a fan. I think it's directly related to my fat sweatyness and constant need to shed layers.
I found the recipe I was looking for. It's suited for pairing with a good lager or pale ale.
Garlic Chicken
4 - boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
1 - egg white
1 - tbls. cornstarch
1 - tbls. dry white wine or sherry
4 - green onions
1 - tsp. minced ginger root
3 - tsp. minced fresh garlic ( more if you like it like I do)
2 - tbls. veg. oil
Hot cooked rice ( I like short grain or jasmine)
Sauce (I like a lot of sauce so I triple this)
1 - tsp. crushed chili paste (sambol oelek) - I use half of the amount, but I'm a pussy.
2 - tsp. sugar
1 - tsp. cornstarch
2 tsp. rice vinegar
1 - tbls. water
2 - tbls. dry white wine
2 - tbls. soy sauce
Directions
Place chicken breast in freezer until firm. Slice crosswise into thin shreds. In small bowl lightly beat egg white, then mix in 1 tbls. cornstarch and 1 tbls. wine, stirring until cornstarch is dissolved. Add chicken and mix well to coat all pieces. Let stand at room temperature 30 min.
Meanwhile, slice green onions on diagonal into very thin slices. Mince ginger-root and garlic. Combine sauce ingredients mixing well. Heat wok, add oil and stir fry chicken until no longer pink. Remove chicken with slotted spoon. Add onions, ginger, and garlic to wok and stir fry about 30 seconds until ginger-root and garlic are fragrant but not brown. Return chicken to wok, re-stir sauce ingredients and add to wok. Cook, stirring constantly until mixture is well combined, hot and bubbly and thickens slightly. Turn off heat and splash with about 1 tsp. of dark sesame oil.
Serve over rice.
