Thanks to Karen, I've been using panko at least twice a week now. Tonight, I made a cocoa-orange glaze (no recipe - surprise, surprise!) which I drizzled over panko and parmesan encrusted oven-fried chicken breasts. Yum. Sorry, no pics. But, let me just say that if you haven't tried panko (Japanese bread crumbs), you must. Really. Light, crunchy goodness. If you aren't sure where to find it/them, check Trader Joe's. That's where I get my panko on. It's also where I get my tamari roasted almonds - a snack food that I recommend highly. Great with a glass o' red wine. And, while I'm on the recommending rant, try a glass of La Crema Pinot Noir with those almonds. Divine.
Today we hoofed it around The Mall. Again. I am 1 part too excited about the weather to go underground to take the Metro and 2 parts too phobic to ride the Metro as the Grown Up In Charge. The last time I was in DC, I was a whopping 17 years old and being led around by the Close Up Foundation . The biggest responsibility I had was deciding what color I wanted them to make my hair at Commander Salamander . So, we walked. And, truly we're just a few block from the Capitol. However, if you've been to DC, you know that the Capitol and, say, the Washington Monument are a smidgen apart from one another...like a mile-long smidgen. And, if you know me then you know that I am the world's number one couch potato. In fact, there are many times I don't even go all the way to the couch as it's just too far from my oh-so-comfy bed. God bless Tempur - pedic . There's a point in here. I swear. I'll get to it eventually. First, I must also explain that we had plans to meet...
