Sweet and sour chicken
November 19, 2009 • Hello. I am currently out of the country and unable to respond to comments and e-mails. Rest assured, however, that future posts have been scheduled so new recipes will go live almost everyday during my absence. I'll be back soon with lots of stories and photos. Ciao for now! ~ ConnieUp until last year, Saturday evenings were red-letter events. We have a tight circle of friends with whom we had dinner every Saturday. We’d take turns hosting the dinner parties but it was always a potluck arrangement. Then, in October 2004, right when the construction of the new kitchen wing began, our househelp disappeared on us. Although it was hard work hosting the dinner parties after that, we still did it. In fact, in 2004, the Christmas party was held in our house.
Months later, two more of our friends lost their househelp. After that, the dinner parties started getting few and far between. What can I say? Hosting 20 people in the house, including young children, for dinner and after dinner chat and play is not exactly a walk in the park. What we did was to meet elsewhere. Dinner in restaurants, picnics on Sunday afternoons, movies…

For the first time in a long time, we’re having a dinner party tonight at a friend’s house (about 10 minutes away) and I cooked this platter of sweet and sour chicken thigh fillets for our contribution to the potluck dinner.
