Cleaning Day

I put away all the food last night. Today I get to take down my table, empty my dishwasher, figure out where to store my table and folding chairs I just bought. I can stick my table on the side of the wall downstairs and just use the table cloth I didn't use to cover it. I think my folding chairs will fit in the storage closet downstairs. I just have a lot of stuff in there.

It still makes me mad that my roast didn't turn out how I wanted. I think I'm just going to cook one once a month until I figure it out. I wonder if I just season it like like my Asian/Hawaiian meat if it wouldn't be just as tasty. I'm going to look at more recipes. I've mastered my rolls. I just need to make them more.  I also wanted to learn how to make char siu pork all on my own-then I could really host an Asian theme party well. I've mastered most of my Asian food. My Katsu was really good when I made it about a week ago.

My lemon chicken is the bomb too. David's orange chicken was good, I just didn't like that he just cooked the chicken. I like to marinade it first in chicken broth then get a cornstarch coating and fry it before sticking the sauce over it. I dust my shrimp in rice flour before I fry it. I never tried that with chicken. It would be great if it works with chicken. The coating is very thin and gives exactly the amount of coating I like. Chinese restaurants make lemon chicken a lot. Maybe Panda made orange chicken so popular. I think it's the same thing only with different flavors. He makes good soup it tastes like what the restaurants serve-lotus flower soup I think-some sort of flower. I need to make sushi once a month too. I tried to find nori at Smith's and they were out. I wonder where I can buy tobiko. I like the tobiko Tokai Sushi for U uses. Now I'm just making myself hungry. I'm going to flavor the roast I have-I have a lot of it-soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic and onions. let it sit in that then fry it up. Maybe I've just been spoiled. Hawaiian meat is the best. Asian influenced BUT I still think it tastes best.
