Cupcake, the Bulldog, Can Smell the Satay
Cupcake is no longer with us but we shall never forget her. She was a very talkative dog ... just trust me. Of course, we could never get her talking on video.
And here's the recipe for Satay
Satay (or Saté)
You'll need:
10 lbs. chicken thighs (don't use the legs; cut away all the fatty parts of the thighs)
Ingredients for Marinade Sauce:
⅔ C. soy sauce
1 Tbsp. lemon juice
2 tsp. ground coriander
1 large onion, chopped
2 tsp. chicken bouillon
7 cloves of garlic
Marinade the meat and freeze, protected with aluminum foil
Ingredients for the Barbecue Sauce (yes, more sauce: brush on while barbecuing)
1 bowl (medium size breakfast cereal bowl) of sweet soya sauce
3 Tbsp. sugar (we tried raw this time and it was pretty tasty)
2 Tbsp. lemon juice (we used the juice of real lemons, like from our tree)
2 Tbsp. vegetable oil
1 Tbsp. granulated garlic powder
The cutting and the sticking takes a long time, but it's worth it.

Fumi Salad
My friend, Jane, brought this amazing salad called Fumi Salad for my potluck birthday party. Best party ever! This salad is not only refreshing, tasty and healthy ... it's a meal unto itself. Here's the recipe:
Ingredients
1 head of cabbage, chopped
8 green onions, chopped
½ C. slivered or sliced almonds
½ C. sesame seeds (about 2.5 oz.)
2 pkgs. dried Ramen noodles (don't use the flavoring/seasoning in pkg.)
Option: Add 2 cups of chopped cooked chicken for a main dish salad. And flax seeds can be substituted for sesame seeds.
Directions
In a large bowl, mix together chopped cabbage* and green onions. Toast almonds and sesame seeds, with no oil, until just browned. Right before serving, mix almonds and sesame seeds into salad; crush Ramen noodles and add to the salad. Add dressing and toss. Depending on the size of the cabbage, this should serve 10.
Dressing
1 C. vegetable oil
6 Tbsp. rice vinegar
3-4 Tbsp, sugar, to tast
2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. pepper
Put all ingredients in a jar and shake thoroughly.
