This chicken was super quick and really yummy. I love sauces with coconut milk. This weekend, I also made a second version of apple turnovers, for comparison to last week’s. This recipe was from Cook’s Illustrated. The dough is a bit more complicated, and I thought it was more difficult to handle (not awful, but the Fine Cooking one was easier). The filling in these was grated apples with lemon and sugar, as opposed to apple halves with sugar, flour and cinnamon sprinkled inside the pastry. Larry liked last week’s filling better. I kind of liked this week’s pastry better – definitely flakier, and held up better the next day. I think the perfect marriage would be this pastry with apple halves as filling.

- Steamed Brown Rice
- Sautéed Spinach with Garlic
- Flaky Apple Turnovers (Baking Illustrated, p.276)
I thought both types of apple turnovers were ultra yummy. Sheri, you definitely have a way with dough and baking. More apple substance in this pastry would be the perfect marriage though. If only the dough was easier to work with.
