[Harper's Kitchen] Powdered gold! :-)

janewilliams20 and her fearless husband D went to the US a few weeks ago. When they asked me if there was anything I needed or wanted from there, we briefly considered the possibility of their bringing the Walnut Monster over, since they were leaving from Baltimore, but as planning communications were difficult to arrange, we fell back onto the kind of thing I'm always asking people to bring back, namely Peanut Sauce Mix and Spicy Peanut Bake from A Taste of Thai.

Now, I know what you guys are thinking. "But Harper, you hate to use prefab ingredients! Don't you feel guilty using that stuff, instead of, you know, crushing up a bunch of peanuts yourself and mixing them with exotic spices?"

Nope. Bring on the additives! I have four packets of spicy peanut bake and three packets of peanut sauce. That's three complete meals and one meal that will miss its peanut sauce so much I may actually go out and buy satay sauce for the rice, since that's what it tastes most like.

That's right, y'all. No actual cooking at Harper's house tonight-- move right on along. I'll be here, rolling chicken in a coating mix and just adding coconut milk!
