misadventures of a self proclaimed artist

I’m making dinner for my boyfriend before we go out and meet my friends, Ive marinating chicken over night. I made a cashew mango sauce and let it sit in over chicken slices. For dessert I know he loves chocolate mint, so I’m making chocolate mint cheesecake!

Here are some recipes.

For the chicken I am making some noodles. I’m using vermicelli. Over the vermicelli I am adding three freshly grated mangoes, First I will grate the mango then I will toss it with the caramelized onions I made and some light fish sauce. Then after I will add the cooked chicken.For the sauce:

One can mangoes in light syrup drained

1/4 honey amber

2 tsp fish sauce

one clove garlic

1/4 cashew chopped(only ingredient not put in sauce pan)

place all ingredients in fry pan on medium heat. Let simmer until mango has diminished to a puree then add chopped cashews and place over raw chicken, let marinate for at least 2 hours.

For the cheesecake Ive made a chocolate graham crust(mixed nesquick chocolate syrup with one tsp butter and 1/2 cup graham crumbs). Then my regular yogurt cheese base.

For the sauce Ive gotten peppermint patties I’m oing to melt down with chocolate syrup and minced mint leaf on low heat.

Hope he likes eveything!

My new job, on the first day of orientation, has offered me a little more responsibility! I have been given shift supervisor. I’m going to work very hard to impress these guys! Hurray for new beginnings!
