Plum Sauce Chicken

Hub commented that he likes coming back home for dinner and praised me for making the effort of having new dishes every another day. What a boast to my morale.  Truly, his comments do weigh alot because I cook with love and effort. Now I know he does notice it actually. * hopping in circles!* It feels good to see everyone finishing up all the food, not leaving any single bit of leftover.
