This is a great winter dish which is very very simple to make. When I was small, I always thought that this beef stew is more than complicated, actually we simply simmer all together for several hours, of course the more you cook the longer it will take. Just have to be patient

Thumbprint Cookie is a popular holiday cookie made w a shortbread-like dough that is formed into balls n then each ball of dough is rolled in either coconut or chopped nuts. The name “thumbprint” comes from the fact that u use ur thumb to make an indentation into each ball of dough, which is then filled w the jam.
Here is the recipe for thumbprint cookies, adapted from Joyofbaking.
I happened to have both of my chicken n milk (almost 1 litre) to expire almost …. immediately The milk is today n chicken tomorrow. So I had to figure out some way to get this done. uhm … chicken … milk ?!? U know I was thinking chicken cooked in milk … like milk-stewed chicken .. just made it up I went googling for “chicken milk”, and I saw the recipe by Jamie Oliver. Oh yeah !!! He … almost saved my life I actually just wanted to see if chicken can really be cooked in milk, and to have a general idea of how it’s like. And then, I came up w my own idea :-> Yah hay !!!
When I was “inventing” the dish, several dishes came up to my mind, for example grilled/fried chicken with five-spice, or some different versions of stewed chicken. I was also thinking that “chicken and milk” sounds kinda … sweet and buttery, I need something tangy, something sour to give the dish a balance. Luckily I had some canned pineapple stacked in my kitchen for a while (since they had it on sale ) <–> that’s perfect !!!
In the end I came up with this, chicken marinated in five-spice, pineapple juice, then stewed in milk for about 1 hr. Uhm.. it must be yummy, I though to myself … and indeed it was !!!!
I am going to leave this place very soon (well for those who are curious, roughly 3 months haha) and in my kitchen there’re still so many things untouched, or unfinished: some vercimelli, some rice noodle, some paste, powder or sauce. I still have half of the satay bottle left so I decided to do sth w them. I just want to clear up my kitchen as soon as possible
Recently I extremely love cooking chicken lol I really don’t know why but whenever I think of sth new to cook, I think about chicken. While I almost go blank thinking of options to cook w pork or beef, I can see there’re numerous ways to cook with chicken. Everytime we change the amount of seasoning, or add sth, it turns out a total new dish.
This time I use satay
