Pity Party Concluded

Last night, I got elbows deep in the kitchen and cooked my little food-loving heart out.

And it helped me stop sulking about the marathon.

The gloriousness that I made in said kitchen while channeling my inner Mrs. Day and practicing everything she has taught me in crash course cooking class reviews.

You have never made an Asian glaze this good.

That's awfully ballsy of me to say.

But It. was. incredible.  It thickened perfectly (no corn starch needed thankyouverymuch).

I think Dev may have almost said a curse word when he tasted it.

Then he named 461 things we could cook with the same glaze.

That. good.

And the zinger!  

This whole plate full of tastygoodness = right around 400 calories.

And naturally, I can't find the recipe online anymore.  Hang tight for that.

Annnnnnd a bajillion hours later, I found it!
