The Drugs Don't Work.

My name is Jack

  " I've been clean from drugs  catnip for 1 day .

In my defence someone left the kitchen door open.

And the catnip was just lying there.

I had one , the one lead to 2 .

Then the pink elephants starting going on parade .

How weird is that ? And I've not even seen the film Dumbo.

And the Poinsettia ; let's be honest no expects those things to last beyond Christmas anyway.

It was spoiling for a fight, so I took it down all the way to China town.

It died.

I won.

Seems I am not allowed catnip treats for a while now.

There was talk of me going on Jeremy Kyle .

Where I would have to face the demons of my past.

I tell you the catnip toy mouse was begging for it, so I ripped his ears off.

And apparently I didn't help matters when I brought a mouse in which happily sat under the fridge freezer bricking itself .

Mrs human bean couldn't remove it .

And Mr Human Bean wouldn't come home from work as he was on a conference call to Hong Kong.

It was removed eventually when Mr Human Bean came home.

He was muttering something about the Hong Kong people thinking his work place had a mouse problem.

My name is Jack and I have a catnip problem ."

Glazed Chicken Teriyaki

Glazed Chicken Teriyaki

(Serves two people)(Approx 600 calories)

2 Chicken Thigh, bone removed, skin left on

160 ml Sake

160 ml Mirin

60 ml Soy

5 grams Sugar

½ Red Onion, peeled and quartered

½ Carrot, peeled and large diced

Pinch of Sea Salt

Oil to fry

Serve with some warm White Japanese Rice, White Cabbage or a side of your choice (mash potato, salad)

Alter quantities to s

Method

First make the teriyaki sauce. Place the sake, mirin, soy, sugar, carrot and red onion into a pan and place on a high heat until to boils. Continue to boil for 10 minutes than reduce the heat and simmer. You need to reduce the original amount by half.

Prepare the chicken thighs by patting them dry, sprinkling the skin with the salt. Place the pan on the highest flame. Add a little vegetable oil to the pan, when the oil is hot add the chicken thighs skin side down. Colour the skin then turn the pan down to a medium heat. Cook for 4 minutes then turn the thighs over. Cook for a further 1 minute.

When the chicken is thoroughly cooked, add the teriyaki sauce to the pan and glaze the chicken thighs in the sauce turning whilst cooking. Be careful not to burn the sauce (if it starts to burn add a dash of cold water).

Place the rice, cabbage or alternatives onto the serving plate and neatly place the glazed chicken onto the plate. Drizzle with some extra of the teriyaki sauce and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
