The honey and soy sauce glaze I made for the asparagus is one I have
used before on pork chops, and works well whether you're making them in the
skillet or on the grill. I only used about a quarter cup soy sauce with
about a tablespoon of honey, then added in a good pinch of black pepper and
a pinch of red pepper flakes just to give it a touch of heat. I often saute
the steamed vegies in some butter and finish with a touch of lemon zest and
some fresh herbs, but I didn't want to do that with the vegies last night
because those flavors are so similar to what is already in the chicken dish.

Could someone give me a rough idea of how to do honey-glazed asparagus? I've never had it.
Congratulations, Jon. May oodles and oodles of days with the dear littles and your DW be like this one, and better and better.
What a great family you have, and a great list!
Best,
Penny

Jon, sounds good, and, the mention of the honey glaze on the asparagus also gives me ideas'''<smile>
Stay well

Hi everyone.
So the other day, Jacob was feeling pretty good about his yummy curry. Today, it's time for me to puff out my chest a little with what landed on our dinner plates tonight. One of Emily's favorite dishes I make is chicken Picata. I have been trying to perfect it for some time, but each time, something about it isjust not quite right. Tonight, I nailed it! We like ours with a whole lot of lemon and capers, and we usually serve it along side some steamed white rice and a simple vegetable. Tonight, that vegetable was asparagus with a honey soy glaze. The last few weeks have been hard on me as the baby is on a messed-up sleep schedule during the day, and I'm at a loss as to what to do. But today, the sun finally peaked out, and I got both a nap and turned out an outstanding version of Emily's favorite dish. Even both girls are having a very good day. I even have fudge blocks in the fridge for later. Anyway, I just had to share.
Jon
