Tonight's dinner was Honey Balsamic Chicken w/ corn-pepper Risotto. I don't know what was up with the new tube of sea salt I got but it didn't seem like it was adding saltiness to my food, even with the parmigiano regiano, but i asked Brian if they were salty and he said both of them tasted they were just right on the salt side. I'm pretty sure I probably put A LOT! It just didn't seem like anything really got salted right away. It was a cook what's in the pantry type of deal today. I also stupidly grabbed a box of beef broth instead of chicken broth, so tomorrow, I have to figure out a way to use the beef broth I opened. I went to my mom's house yesterday and i remember that she just got corn and they've been very sweet lately. I've always eaten rice with corn, my mom used to make this soup with malunggay (horseradish leaves) and corn with a lot of garlic, and I used to eat that with rice and carabao milk. I kinda made a twist with that today in risotto form. I had a leftover red bell pepper so I threw that in as well. For the chicken, I got tarragon a few days ago but have been wondering what to do with it. It's a very mild herb, I don't use it too often but i wanted to veer off my common herbs I use, mostly coz i'm waiting for my herb pot to get lusher. Balsamic and tarragon seem to work really work together with the sweetness of the honey. I've officially used up my whole bottle so now I have to pick up another bottle at the market this weekend. Due to my salt issue today though, the chicken didn't seem to have enough salt. Inspired by my last trip to PPQ, I wanted a sweet and sour dip sauce for my chicken. So I pulled out the bottled sweet and sour sauce I had and mixed it with some honey, lemon and salt and it ended up making enough heat and tartness + sweetness for the chicken. The boys really liked it, and I got full from it real quick. This is comfort food so I think I'm going to keep this one in the arsenal.
sooo inspiring. you really need to post more, girl!

These tubes are so labor-intensive that they wouldn't be economically viable if they didn't have a long life span. Tube diameters decrease in intensity and resistance increases with decreasing tube diameters. Tube ionization occurs at the center of tubes, where the ions are captured and neutralized by the walls. The most serious cause of neon tube collapse is the gradual absorption by neon gas via high voltage ion injection into the tube interior glass walls. This eventually depletes the gas and causes the tube resistance rise to the point that it cannot light at the rated voltage. However, this can take well over 50 year if the tube is properly treated during gas back-filling and bombardment.
