April 28 Thin sliced chuck steak. This marinade. This is a standby, but I accidentally left it soaking for about a week. It was soaked through and came out as a kind of semi-jerky.
April 30 Skinless chicken breasts. Teriyaki. La Choy teriyaki with soy sauce and cayenne. Bleh. La Choy is flavorless gruel.
May 8 Chicken drumsticks. Like a dozen of them. Attempted to recreate this chicken
by bastardizing this recipe. Yes that recipe is apparently from a website about preserving traditional Cambodian culture within a small region of Vietnam (see if you can find the page with the MIDI anthem). water vegetable oil curry powder cayenne coriander garlic soy and fish sauce. It wasn't spicy enough. There was too much water and I didn't use the chilis.
May 10 Chicken drumsticks. Fake tandoori. Not spicy enough even with cayenne added, but a good, crispy skin.
May 12 Whole chicken breasts. Smothered in sweet chili sauce. This was a failed experiment. The skin completely burned to a crisp very quickly and the sauce didn't provide enough flavor.
May 20 The steak marinade again. It worked this time because it only marinated for one night. It's hard to screw this one up.
Now I am one step closer to becoming my hero, a guy I heard about once who keeps pictures of everything he's ever eaten on a website somewhere. But I guess it's cooler when he does it, since he's an eccentric Japanese artist or something.
