Recipe: Honey-and-Lemon Salad Sauce

September 5th, 2006  |  Ramón Cahenzli  |  Lactose Intolerance  | 

My girlfriend thought up an extraordinary salad sauce today that goes well with just plain salad or, as in this example, with a few slices of chicken *and* salad. I’ve never tasted anything like this before, and it was delicious to the very last drop, so let’s not keep this a secret.

For the sauce, you need:

* Honey
* Lemon juice
* Vegetable oil of choice (sunflower oil is a good hint)
* Mustard
* Salt, pepper, herbs of choice

For the chicken:

* Sliced or chopped chicken
* Soy sauce

First things first: soak the chicken in the soy sauce, it has to bathe there for at least 30 minutes.

The sauce: Take a good amount of lemon juice and a tablespoon of honey (nicely filled), then add a tablespoon of mustard and mix it all. Add a small amount (teaspoon, for example) of oil. If you need more liquid, fill up with lemon juice, but also add water as pure lemon juice would make it too sour at this point.

Finally, season to taste. And does it ever taste! Wonderful!

*Note: I had published this entry too early when half the recipe was missing. Sorry! Now everything’s there.*

Sugar-sweet love letter to the Nintendo DS

September 1st, 2006  |  Ramón Cahenzli  |  Technology  | 

It’s a few days old already, but Eurogamer has posted a [love letter to the DS](http://www.eurogamer.net/article.php?article_id=67107) that is just too sweet to miss. They’re not just getting all emotional and fanboyant about it, they also provide some reasons *why* they’re getting all emotional and fanboyant. Look at what they say about the incorporation of the physical characteristics of the DS into Another Code’s puzzles, for example.

They talk as if they’d devoured my little gaming soul and now it’s pouring back out of their nostrils, regurgitated as honey-scented liquid gold. That turns the night ablaze.

Magnificent!
