A Story:
Indolent
"Indolent!" his wife exclaimed. "How does that word in any way apply to me?"
He looked at her slim body toned by regular trips to the gym, her stylishly cut hair and her tailored suit perfect for her position as partner in a progressive law firm.
"Definition of indolent: lazy, careless, slow-moving. That is so not me."
"He didn't mean it as an insult."
"Well, it sure felt like one."
Her husband tried to look supportive but found it hard to dampen his smile.
"The doctor was just describing your cancerous thyroid tumour. Be glad it's not ambitious."
Easy Orange Chicken with Pecans
1 cooked chicken breast cut into chunks
1 chopped onion
1 cup orange juice
2 tbsp molasses stirred into 1/2 cup warm water
1 tsp ground ginger
1/2 tsp black pepper
2- 3 tbsp chopped pecans
Saute the chopped onion in butter or oil.
Add the orange juice, molasses with water, ginger and pepper. Salt to taste.
Add the chicken chunks and simmer together for about 30 minutes to allow the chicken to absorb the flavours.
Serve with rice and top with some chopped pecans.
This makes two medium size servings.
