Is That It.....?

Is That It Pork Satay

You have to love when you slave away in the kitchen and your child walks up to get their plate and utters those three magic words, "Is that it?".   I don't know if you are doing the same thing I did reading that sentence, but I heavily sighed, shook my head, and rolled my eyes.  It's not that the dish was hard to make at all.  In fact, this was a fairly easy one.  It certainly wasn't an inexpensive dinner.  I had to procure almost all of the ingredients and just locating them in the store was a challenge in itself.  The reasoning behind 'is that it?' was everyone got three skewers.  I don't know if I am overfeeding these kids of mine, their growing bodies require more protein, or perhaps, they have a tapeworm, but the three skewers were not enough.  After they finished their dinner in record time, I could hear them rooting around the pantry and then the battle cry of my hungry children, "Hey Mom, do we have any Spaghetti-o's?!"

I would definitely recommend doubling the recipe, at least that's my plan next time.  I, also, didn't want to go to the liquor store for sake.  I found rice cooking wine at the grocery store and went with it.  Regardless, everyone enjoyed Cuisine At Home's Pork Satay, what little of it they had.
