My husband decided to do an upgrade on our computer. A note was left on the computer for me to finish it. It was a five step process. One through four went fine. Five, well, it was called clean up. That should have been my first clue. It cleaned up all right. I hit the wrong button and poof there went our data. Everything... hard drive completely erased. I cried. Truly I did. But after an hour I said hey, its a hard drive, sure all those pictures of your babies are priceless and now they are gone but they were JUST pictures. Yes I got over it and miracle of miracles, he was able to temporarily retrieve everything. Just enough time for to save like crazy.I just had to get something on the blog before the food pictures were gone as well. I bring you Chicken Satay without the recipe... for now.
Here it is... back up and running. Now I know I wont win any awards here for my pic as this was "chicken satay in a hurry style." Notice its not on skewers. I love meat on a stick though. The other thing that I altered is that I left out the coconut. I know it is an essential ingredient here. I really didnt know what to call it. It really wants to be chicken satay. Okay now I am feeling like I should bag this whole post. I guess it is a lesson. Never post when your desperate for a post and your computer is failing. Okay thats enough rambling.
The not quite chicken satay recipe
1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast halves
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
3 cloves garlic, minced

Stir peanut butter and add a little water at a time to the desired consistency. Add soy sauce, ginger, garlic and chili paste. Sprinkle green onions over sauce.
I was wondering who that was saying "Oh S...". I feel your pain - being the technological guru that I am, I have more than on one occasion done something - who even knew what - that caused anxiety and system restore. Thank goodness you saved some of it. G-d bless back-up external drives.
ReplyDeleteAin't that the worst feeling? It's a sinking right in your tummy when you realize you wiped the drive. Glad you got it back, and the chicken looks tasty!
