A recipe & quick story

Overheard Griffin asking Patrick - Dad, do you have to go to regular college?
You know there is hair syle college & cooking college. I'm going to baking
college instead of regular college.

I could totally see that career choice for Griffin, he loves to help in the kitchen!




Doing what he does best (eating & reading)

 Our family has a few favorite recipes that we love.  I've  been meaning to
post them, but never get around to it.  Tonight I made a family favorite and
I'm finally going to post the recipe.  When Griffin saw what what we were
having he said " I know what that is, AWESOME!"  We gobble this right up
every single time.

Remove chicken from marinade, discard marinade.  Heat sesame oil
in large skillet over medium heat and add chicken cook 10 minutes
or so until done, adding more oil if needed.  Remove from pan
