Well after bruised thumbs and broken eggs, fathers day dinner turned out to be lovely. I marinated the chicken in a very basic way – just salt, pepper and paprika and then I rubbed them down with oilve oil – the sweet potato salad was really good, but missing something I couldn’t quite put my finger on – Mom suggested it was maybe cinnamon (I’ll try it next time) – anyway – it was pretty easy – I sliced a large sweet onion and carmelized it in pan with a bit of olive oil – when the onions are tender and brown add about a 1/4 cup of balsamic vinegar and a heaping tablespoon of dijon mustard and let it heat through – remove from the heat and add a heaping tablespoon of honey – and set the whole thing aside to cool. Slice 3 sweet potatoes in 1/2 inch medallions – sprinkle each side with salt and pepper and brush with olive oil; grill for about 3-4 minutes per side (just throw it on with the chicken) and then add to the onion mixture. (Yum). You’ve already read about the key lime pie and I will admit – even though I am in particular hurry to squeeze that many key limes again – it was the best key lime pie I have had in recent memory.
Cheers
