2/2/2010: Baked Mahi Mahi with Roasted Broccoli

ST made delicious roasted broccoli. Recipe?

Mahi mahi:
  Drizzled with olive oil
  Add salt, pepper, sea food rub, and red wine vinegar (perhaps should've left that off)
  Bake covered at 425 for 20min
  Thinking it was too soupy, I switched to broil for 5-10min

1/31/2010: Leftover curry chicken, pad thai

1/30/2010: Blue Rock BBQ

1/29: Siam Square Thai

Siam Square Thai in Willow Glen.

TT had Pad See Ew with shrimps. Flavorful, but the sauce was a little too salty. The shrimps were not particularly fresh.

ST had Pad Thai. Not bad. Better later as leftover.

Ingredients
    * 3 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, trimmed
    * 2 medium onions, halved and thinly sliced
    * 8 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
    * 16 thin slices peeled fresh ginger (about 1 ounce)
    * 2 tablespoons curry powder, preferably Madras

Directions
   1. In a 5-quart slow cooker, toss chicken, onion, garlic, ginger, curry powder, coriander, and cumin to coat. Season with 2 teaspoons salt. Cover, cook on high setting until chicken is fork-tender, about 4 hours (do not uncover while cooking).
   2. Stir in coconut milk and peas; cover, cook until peas are heated through, about 20 minutes.
