Mom’s Garlic Chicken was my all-time favorite dish for dinner. Remember, the Banana-Chocolate Chip loaf was my favorite dessert. Are you starting to discover a pattern here? Of course I had to start my culinary expedition cooking meals that were my highlights. That softens the blow a little bit, right? I don’t consider this cheating but rather, like getting that long summer reading list from school and only starting with the books of interest.

Mom made this dish all-the-time. I remember my dad coming home for dinner – donned in his white physician’s lab coat – taking out the electric knife, and carefully slicing the meat masterpiece, like a surgeon making the first incision.
