You know you're old when you reminisce about major appliances from days gone by.  You know the ones.  You took them for granted at the time, but as time goes by and house moves happen or over-use and age takes its toll, you realize what a gem you had and didn't even realize at the time.  I get… MORE

Thai Chicken Satay
I've made this twice. Once with low fat coconut milk and one time with regular. Low fat was good. Regular was fantastic. Fresh cilantro a must.
