The Boston Diaries

The ongoing saga of a programmer who doesn't live in Boston, nor does he even like Boston, but yet named his weblog/journal “The Boston Diaries.”

Go figure.

What a cut-up

Sweet-n-Sour Chicken

Sween-n-sour sauce

Mix water and cornstarch until smooth. Add rest of the ingredients and heat over medium-low heat.

Cut up chicken (I use a whole breast) into bite sized chunks. Flour and cook in skillet over medium heat. Then add any cut up vegetables (green pepper and onions are good) and let cook for about a minute. Then add sauce and pineapple chunks; let simmer for a few minutes, then serve.

Oh, don't forget the rice.

I'd just like to note that the method for cutting up chicken explained at Cooking for Engineers is not only fast, but simple too! It's a much nicer method than the total lack of a method I was using before.

I still have to work on getting the breast meat off the bone though (which I typically use to make Chinese chicken nuggets sweet-n-sour chicken—one of the few dishes that I make that The Kids like).

You have my permission to link freely to any entry here. Go ahead, I won't bite. I promise.

The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or entry, if there is only one entry). The titles are the permanent links to that entry only. The format for the links are simple: Start with the base link for this site: https://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are interested in, say 2000/08/01, so that would make the final URL:

https://boston.conman.org/2000/08/01

You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day portion. You can even select an arbitrary portion of time.

You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that important.
