Black Pepper Chicken with Mango

[fonticulus]

An actual recipe!  It turned out pretty good, and the cashews were delicious. I had a hard time not snacking on them while I was cooking the chicken.

The only variations I made this time were to use ground chipotle pepper instead of cayenne, use coconut oil instead of olive, because my olive oil has a weird flavor that I am not enjoying, and use

Mangoes are in season, and I just tried one. It was delightful. I think I had a bad one years ago and it ruined them for me. In Thailand, they were awesome.

I've been looking for new food to make. This will be a great assist to that quest!

I do have a dinner date scheduled with you guys on Friday. Is that also on your calendar? Just confirming. Let's brainstorm! I've been into fish and veggies lately, but this fresh produce-containing dish is right in line with what I'm shooting for.

I have a lot of barbecue sauce that I made fresh this weekend. If you wish to partake in that delight, I will be happy to bring that.

Crap, I'm sorry. We have a whole complicated schedule with Aurora's kids, and we have them on Friday evening from dinnertime until midmorning Sat. Could we do Saturday evening instead? (I know that's a tall order with your busy schedule).

I would say come over anyway, but it will be a frickin' madhouse already with 4 kids here.

We could do Thursday this week, or either of the next two Fridays? You should come over and see how our garden is exploding -- next week we'll probably have squash!

And crap again. My sister apparently made other plans this weekend and we might be free after all. Let me confirm and I'll get back to you.

If we can make it work, I say fish, for sure!

Cool. Just let me know. I'm booked on Saturday (doubly and triply because it is summer!), and I am booked Sunday as well.

My weekdays, while more open, do not faciliate the copious amounts of drinking we do coupled with long conversation.

Glad I checked!
