I love them so much, but sometimes I think I should go take a knife skills class, because such nice knives are a little wasted on me.

Me too. When it comes down to it, my $7 cleaver is my favorite implement. Mostly I use it as a garlic pulverizer.
So, sing it w/ me...I'm cookin' chicken tonight...
ahem.
I have a pack of thighs (w/ skin + bones) marinading in coconut milk, my special habanero paste, some sesame oil, aand a little rice vinegar. Theyve been in that for 6 hours or so. The grill is fired up. I was just going to start them on the grill and bake to finish. But it is so 3@$^2q hot that (no a/c) I think I'll just complete on the grill. Side dish will be couscous cooked in the marinade with the addition of some dried seaweed I'm soaking. This was a cute little package of stuff but I've soaked too much as it has super-swelled up. I'll retain some and use it for something else. Oh and I have some leftover green beans I need to eat or pitch. I'll take a pic of it isn't totally gross.

Last night was a giant mish mash of stuff I had lying around and it was actually REALLY tasty!
I had a few boxes of the Betty Crocker Suddenly Pasta Salad- chipotle ranch flavor. I really wasn't in the mood to put in much effort but I wanted something hearty. Took 2 boxes of pasta salad mix, a can of kidney beans, a cup of chopped tomato, about a pound of steak strips, some chili powder, a packet of Sazon and a few dashes of Tabasco and mixed it all together. Topped it with some shredded cheddar and some crispy onions, served it with some steamed corn on the cob.
It was not pretty, but it tasted damn good. I don't even want to think about how unhealthy it was, but it was about time for a treat. :-)
doombilly:
ok, the chicken was surprisingly bland.
lepetitfromage:
That sucks :-( I was hoping you'd have good news to report back. I love coconut, was thinking of trying it in part of a marinade myself. What do you think you'd do differently next time?
doombilly:
Oh, I think I should put the lime in the coconut... :P
And a bigger dollop of my habanero death ray paste. And crikey, I'm usually too light with the salt. This was definitely the case.
