I like it too Norm.. I call it Baked Layered Tortilla.. I like to add some green chili sauce in it

Dirk went to dentist to have his teeth treated.. the last time he went there he and his dentist talked about foods.. his dentist knows a lot about Indonesian foods, he used to live in Holland.. there are a lot of Indonesian foods in Holland, Indonesia was a colony of The Netherlands for about 350 years.. so understandable there are still lots of the people there like the foods..

Anyway.. he talked about Indonesian Fried Rice and said he likes it very much.. and asked if he could buy some from me.. today we are going there again, and we are going to surprise him with my fresh homemade Indonesian fried rice... there are various ways to make it.. I just go with what I usually do.. the only ingredient that it must have is sweet soy sauce.. and some standard garnishments.. like fried egg,  chicken satay, pickled and chili sauce.. I made some satay yesterday.. I used chicken breast with the traditional peanut dressing

the satay were a bit dry to my taste.. I like them in dark meat better.. juicier and tender..

I'll post the fried rice pics later

Chicken breast satay.. marinated overnight with garlic powder, oil, coriander powder, sweet soy sauce..



with peanut butter dressing ( peanut butter cooked in coconut milk, some chili sauce added and some of lemon juice)

I'll just bet that pizza was inhaled, Jimmy.  Looks like one you would suffer through just so Tina didn't feel bad about using the tube crust.....oh, yeah, Jimmy would be "nice" and eat it!

Lyn & Barb & I went on a road trip today to Altamonte Springs, about an hour away to go to Costco and Home Goods.  We stopped for lunch at a lovely little bistro in Mt. Dora, a tourist-y town with tons of antique shops and little unique gift shops.  We all had a good time.
