It's been a nice run of new recipe experiments, with a decidedly international bent of late. Back on Saturday, September 10th, it was a highly successful trial of African jollof rice and chicken thighs. A sensational combination of spices, a touch of heat, tons of flavor...it all came together terrifically for a fine dinner feast.
I'd made another dessert to serve up at the meal's conclusion: hot chocolate pudding. Let me clarify: the pudding is chilled but its flavor is akin to that of hot chocolate. My single serving of it was insufficient but I remained strong in the face of temptation...until Sunday night when I was not so well restrained.
That dreary and all-day-rainy Saturday began with a quick trip out with Sumner once we got up, and I spied upon passing the window at the kitchen sink a hungry adorable visitor atop the platform bird feeder. While I'd like his cuteness and coloring to persuade me he is just a mouse, the large feet and hairless tail—and overall larger size—would suggest he's probably a roof rat. Not as yucky as the greasy other rats that we've also seen around here...but at that moment he was simply harmless enough.
