I, who have loved you my entire life, who genuinely believed that you had learned from the errors of your imperial ways and had truly become worthy of my esteem, was crushed by your cataclysmic fall from grace.

It's been so long since I poached chicken, that this photo TOTALLY inspired me to make poached chicken tonight. And as luck would have it, I had two fresh chicken thighs in my fridge.

So, since a few people asked for the recipe, I've decided to post it.

Summer's almost over and I haven't even gone once. After checking out all the different food vendors, I eventually settled on Fusia Dog. I'll admit the shorter line had something to do with it, but it was mostly the promise of Peking Duck. Okay supporters of fusion cuisine.

Tolerate it Because you can't change it or fix it.  So you just suck it up and work around it as best you can.  There is, after all, no working with it.
