What is the best motivation to do diet or control your food?
I will say 'Love', 'Anger' and 'Jealousy'.
At least for me it's proven! So how about when you don't have that someone special at the moment or when you are in your peace with no jealousy and not mad to anyone?
Well, this is what I am doing now.
I've been eating a lot lately. And I will have my holiday very soon next month. Ohhh, not to mention, my friend from Indonesia will come in 10 days and of course he will do culinary. Ohhh, I am also going on road trip this weekend so will be eating together with friends for sure. Ahh! Almost forgot, company Christmas dinner which will be on next Monday. Oh man!
Last Sunday, I went to this Indonesian grocery and saw this Indo snack was on sale.
To buy or not to buy?
If I have that motivation I mentioned before, of course I am not buying.
But, I tell you what? Seems like those love or jealousy feeling has not come to me again... yet.
1 chicken breast
100 gr flour
1.5 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 spring onion, white part only, minced
1 tablespoon lemon juice
125 ml chicken stock
1/2 teaspoon honey
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1 tablespoon parsley, minced
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest, finely zested
Direction:
Use a sharp knife to slice the chicken breast in half. You should end up with two thin fillets that are mirror images of each other. If you don't have a sharp knife or aren't too confident with your knife skills, you can also put the breast in a large Ziploc bag and pound with a mallet until it's about 1/2" thick.
Put the flour in a shallow bowl. Generously salt and pepper the chicken then, then dredge it in the flour to give it a light coating. Hold the chicken in the air and tap it a few times with your other hand to dust off excess flour.
Add the oil to a frying pan and heat over medium heat until the oil shimmers and is hot, but not smoking. Place two pieces of the chicken in the pan and fry undisturbed until you start seeing the edges start turning a tan color (about 2 minutes). Flip the chicken over then brown the other side. Transfer the cooked chicken to a plate, then fry the other two cutlets.
To make the sauce, drain out all but a tablespoon of oil, then add the minced scallions. Fry until soft and fragrant. Add the chicken stock, then let this boil down until there is almost no liquid left. Add the lemon juice and honey, then stir in the butter. Turn off the heat, then add the parsley and lemon zest. Pour the sauce of the chicken then serve immediately.
Just go through my old iPod and listened to this song.
I remember how I loved this song so much and I still do now.

The Rose - Westlife
Some say love it is a river that drowns the tender reed Some say love it is a razor that leaves your soul to bleed
Some say love it is a hunger an endless aching need I say love it is a flower and you its only seed
It's the heart afraid of breaking that never learns to dance It's the dream afraid of waking that never takes the chance It's the one who won't be taken who cannot seem to give and the soul afraid of dying that never learns to live
When the night has been too lonely and the road has been too long and you think that love is only for the lucky and the strong Just remember in the winter far beneath the bitter snows lies the seed that with the sun's love in the spring becomes the rose
