I've been known to make a fantastic sandwich or two. There are our own versions of certain sandwiches that have really become quite popular. I dare not say they are the best because some of them were created after I read a message from a competitor claiming they had the best whatever. A self claimed best really doesn't work for me and so I will not do the same thing. Suffice to say we can make a sandwich that pleases a lot of people.
That said you would think that I can make a fantastic meal for the family. Unfortunately I usually end up making a minimum of two meals for the fam and sometimes three. What I believe to be good and what my kids think is good are two different things. I would say 75% of the time I am making something additional for one or more of the kids. When I make something that all will eat without complaint and that I quite enjoy as well, that is nothing short of a miracle.
Today we enjoyed such a miracle. I have made shoyu chicken many times for the kids and it usually goes over okay. Today I made a small addition. The recipe calls for chicken thighs. My kids are huge fans of chicken legs so I put some in. They loved it. Shoot, they even ate the rice this time. I also added some corn on the cob which is probably not one of those items you would normally serve with shoyu chicken but I was going more for what I knew my kids would eat instead of foods that necessarily go together. It worked. Everybody ate everything and or a little of everything anyway and that was nothing short of miraculous. It was good to come out a winner with tonights chicken dinner...
Incidentally - shoyu chicken. Google it. Fantastic. I cook mine in a slow cooker.
