A sweeter spin on grilled chicken.
Better be healthy burgers
Better be healthy burgers
Since I have started my diet, I am just going to eat healthy food until the summer.
I might make some other recipes too, even though I am not going to eat them myself.
And who said healthy food is not tasty?
I made these really delicious chili lime chicken burgers last night, you should really try them out! And I used fennel instead of potatoes or rice for a side dish.
Here’s the recipe (makes 4…

Staple Spices & Kitchen Herb Gardens
These are my go-to spices. I always make sure I have these on hand. Spices can lose strength and flavor over time. Unused portions should be replaced after about a year. I am usually refilling my jars many more times than that, with the exception of cayenne pepper for which a little goes a long way. I buy my spices in bulk from my local Co-Op.

Life of a Spicy Variety.
We're continuing on with my period of serious introspection. Which, as I mentioned earlier, is literally transforming my narrative voice. It's brilliant. Figure, a night of good eating would certainly help SPICE things up...
I wasn't going to get curry this week. The unwarranted parking ticket I had to pay last week sure didn't help my otherwise awesome (read the sarcasm) financial state of affairs. But, getting home after a long day, the flat being empty, me taking an inner journey, I figured FUCK IT. So I shipped out to A2 and spent money carelessly (but definitely not "unwisely") and it was beautiful.
I had the Dal Fry (curried lentils), extra spicy, with Roti.
And it was pretty spicy.
Then the manager brought me Thai Chile Peppers to add. Oh, so delicious.
And it made this curry spice-magic! But, then Hannah and the manager come to check on me, assure me they can hook me up further if I want.
I want.
So, the manager brings me more Thai Chile Peppers, alongside Ground Chile Flakes. This is when the meal went from indulgent to sexual.
Droolgasm. Nomgasm. Spicegasm? Whatever. GASM.
NOMtastic.
Cheers!
