Kindle Updates and Cooking Updates

There is an exciting new update for the Kindle. There are going to be real page numbers which will correspond to page numbers in the print editions. This is what everyone complained about trying to use kindle books in classes. CNET news posted the story. I believe that this update will be for all kindles (although the article is a little vague on this matter), but apparently the rest of the updates will only before the Kindle Wireless and the Kindle 3G (i.e. not my beloved DX).

Servia and I made Three Teacup Chicken again tonight and I added pictures to my previous blogpost. It was wonderful. I highly recommend it. We made a few changes to the recipe. We made a 1/2 recipe (for the two of us) but used double the amount of garlic and ginger (i.e. the same amount one would use to make a whole recipe) and 4 instead of 3 shallots.

I finally got with the times a few days ago and made myself an iGoogle account so I could see RSS feeds (not from blogger) in a convenient location. When I made the page, it asked me what my interests were, and I indicated various things, including cooking. Now, on my iGoogle page it provides two recipes each day for my viewing pleasure. This is excellent!

Excited about the recipes and unable to obtain the necessary Holy Basil for my Gai Pad Gra Pow, I decided to try out a dish that showed up on my iGoogle called Three Teacup Chicken. The only modifications to the recipe were forgoing the option anise and adding the optional dried red chili. I got out my barely-used wok that Cerinthus found someone giving away at the end of the last school year and set to work (with lots of help from Servia).

Brown jasmine rice.

The chicken and broth poured over the rice.

It was wonderful! We served the dish with jasmine brown rice and were both delighted with the result. I recommend it highly for anyone who likes Asian food: delightful, mildly spicy, and light but filling. Enjoy!
