Went Vietnamese tonight, Bun bowl with lemongrass grilled chicken. You can't see it but it's all on a bed of lettuce, Thai basil, cilantro, and mint. Garnished with some pickled carrot, red and green onion, crushed roasted peanuts, and dressed with some Nuoc Cham. I didn't let the grill heat up enough before I put the chicken on so I didn't get the char I normally get but I didn't want to overcook and dry out the chicken. The Nuoc Cham brings sweet, salty, and tangy. The mint and other herbs are like little punches to your taste buds. The chicken marinated overnight was a flavor explosion all in itself and the crunch of the peanuts gave a nice texture.

The good thing is I didn't have to turn on the stove or oven. The chicken was grilled outside and I cooked the noodles on the burner on the grill. Everything else was cold prep. Except the peanuts which I roasted in the microwave.

They forgot the thorazine or haldol..
We made something similar to pruno when we were in our early teens. We'd use orange juice and yeast. Our mothers back then always had yeast for baking bread so we'd raid the cupboards. Mix the yeast with the juice in a jug, wait a week, and have an alcoholic drink that was perfect for the puke fest we were going to have later. Good times. :mrgreen:

I remember my buddies dad making a gallon jar every year of these......and getting pissed because we'd eat them all. Went great with the beer we stole from him too lol fun times :lol: Definitely growing cherry peppers for next time. They need some heat but still gonna be good. I'll let them sit first a week or two before I try them.
