Chicken breast tends to be dry. The magazine says this recipe doesn't let chicken dry up. In the U.S. people seem like prefer breast chicken than dark chicken. I guess in Asia it's opposite. I was looking for more recipe that cooks breast meat nicely and it was a success. I have never made piccata but heard of it. I guess it's I...

What are you gonna eat tonight? I ate Port cutlet with vegetable stir fry and brown rice. I tried a new recipe from Japanese TV because it looked easy and delicious.  I used frozen thin sliced pork. Paste mixture of beaten egg, flour, salt and pepper on the meat and coat with bread crumbs like this. and cooked with 50cc of vegetable oil. The TV recipe says needs to cook only for 5 minutes but it took nearly 30 minutes! This is called mille-feuille cutlet. I guess thin layers looks like mille-feuille pie. Nice. But I wonder it will be enough for 2 adults and 2 kids.. I thinly cut carrot, asparagus and garlic. pour some stir fry sauce from Trader Joes.. Sour and sweet. With yesterday's left over brown rice and hand made kimchee by Korean neighbor. It was a nice dinner again. I am using PFOA Free Non-stick Stone Cookware By the way, Valentine's day is coming soon.

This day's dinner was Omellette Rice. (O mu le tsu in Japanese) Under thin egg layer, there's fried rice. I made with asparagus, green onion and sausage (nitrate free.) I used brown rice. My husband doesn't like rice, especially brown one. I had to make potato omelet with cheese. The pic above is before I flip the omelet. With Japanese probiotic soup, miso soup. Bon appetit!! I use PTFE and PFOA FREE non stick frying pan.

My husband has acid reflex though he has mild one so that he doesn't have to take medicine. He would feel his stomach doesn't feel right after eating certain food like oatmeal, bagel and steak. Because it only happens sometimes, he didn't bother to go see a doctor and  didn't even know what it was until when he had choking sensation while he had dinner with his friends. He felt his food doesn't go down to the stomach and just stuck in the middle of the road then bubble started coming out from his mouth. after he spit out the form he felt better. His friend saw him and said. "You have acid reflex!" You see a lots of commercial on TV for medicine for acid reflex like Tums, Zantac, Prirosec.. Seems like a lot of Americans suffer from this condition. Coming from Japan I would get heartburn just seeing those greasy burgers on commercials. My husband knows a friend who also suffered from acid reflex worse than his and he feels much better after taking aloe...
