Drumroll Please ...

This is way too easy ...

Tell them you're too busy to cook because you've officially promised yourself you will only blog between 6 and 8 pm every night ... which, unfortunately, is during the dinner hour.

This will serve two purposes ...

1. someone else will cook for a change

2. this won't last long, so you will soon be free to blog whenever you dang well please.

As an added bonus, here's the Thai Peanut Chicken recipe I was served last night by my mate ... enjoy!
