Chicken

Home late. Picked up some chicken wings and drumsticks on the way. D. marinated them, together with some sliced onions, in oyster sauce, a dash of fish sauce, a little bit of a sweet, sticky Indonesian sauce (kecap manis) and chopped garlic. These were put in a baking dish and cooked in the oven until done (wow, what a delicious smell).

All this was served with steamed rice (thanks to the wonderful rice cooker... I should remember to write about that) on a bed of freshly sliced tomato and cucumber, topped with fresh coriander. D. made two dipping sauces for the chicken. The first was a fresh batch of the spring onion sauce that I made for the corn on the weekend (to use up the spare spring onion), and the other was a sauce of fish sauce, lemon juice, grated carrot, chopped red chilli, finely chopped garlic, white vinegar and sugar to balance the other flavours. What a feast! So the only thing left to do is for me to pack up, then kick back with a glass of cognac and "At The Movies" on the ABC. Cheers!

Oh, in the rest of my life, today was a day of announcements:

• Famitsu gave Nintendogs a perfect 40/40, and it's out in Australia next month!
• PSP is out on September 1 for AU$450. Man, I could buy two DSs and a copy of Meteos for that!
• The iTunes Music Store is launching here tomorrow! But AU$1.80 per song. Dang.
