I know, another chicken dinner. But this one is absolutely wonderful! I found it on FB, but altered it slightly.The recipe is easy and fairly quick to make. 30 minutes and you are eating. It did not have a name, so I named it Creamy Chicken, even though it has no cream in it.https://www.rockinrs.com/CS-Creamy-Chicken.pdf A good Niguri Creamy Sake would be great with this!

**Seasoning the chicken. After the garlic, vinegar, soy sauce and honey have been added**

The only changes I made were different types of salt, I used Celtic Sea Salt, fresh ground Tellicherry Black Pepper, unsalted butter and chopped green onion for the rice, I added braised Jasmin rice with the green onion.

I really think this is a fantastic way to make the chicken. Almost a fusion version of an Asian dish. You might want to add grated fresh ginger, too. The Jasmin rice gave the dish and extra boost of flavor, but searing it in butter is essential, in my point of view. If you make it let us know how you liked it.

ahi tuna, asian food

And that mean “Party-Hearty”! Time for lamb. Or Laphroaig. Or Glendronach. Or maybe some Corned Beef with some Cabbage. I am going to make some Irish Soda Bread, or maybe an Irish Brown Soda Bread, for a St Patrick’s Day party on Saturday. Gonna wear my kilt, too! And the socks that my niece Beth made me. We just made some Irish Stew, that turned out pretty darn good. Just need to tighten the sauce a little. Doesn’t this just look scrumptious? And yes, the Boise Farmers Market at 10th and Grove in Boise opens up on April 2, 2016! Yea!!!

Prep for the Irish Stew. Carrots, celery, lamb cubes ()Felzien lamb!), Red onion, green onion and spices.

The Idaho Foodie Meet-Up group met at the Happy Fish Sushi and Martini Bar in downtown Boise today for lunch. Not bad, but my benchmarks are still Sushi Joy and Shige. That’s not to say that we would not return here. No way. Probably rated at 4 1/4 – Stars out of 5. It’s just not “as good” as our benchmarks. But that’s very subjective and I realize that. Here is what we had. Robin, myself and Bernadette were the only ones there. The ladies each had a bowl of Miso. It smelled good. You missed a good adventure. Enjoy!

Some call this fish white tuna, but it is actually snake mackerel. A buttery white fish that melts in your mouth!

asian food, Boise foodie, Mai Thai

On Thursday, November 21, the Idaho Foodie Meet-Up group met at Mai Thai in Boise for a delightful gathering and some scrumptious food! Our very good Waiter Benjamin, suggested that we try their Buffet Lunch, 11am until 2pm daily, because we can try a large variety of menu items for a very reasonable price. We highly recommend the Mai Thai restaurant for their Asian cuisine and their service. Easily a 4-Star, out of 5, rating. We will have to try their buffet. Thanks, Benjamin. Eight of the Meet-Up group were in attendance and here is some of the food we had. But first, the ambiance. Enjoy and Left-Click any of these photos to see them enlarged. Please VOTE above. Cheers!

Some of the glass work and water works in the restaurant. Beautiful!

Neither this lamp, nor the one above, were made by Chihuly, but rather by a local artist. They are simply marvelous.

Each table had one of these candles on it. The Missionary's Downfall goblet (left) Hawaiian Mai Thai goblet were not on each table. Just on ours.
