Loved it & so did very picky friend! I ground 2 5spice stars finely in goffee/spice grinder & decreased hoisin sauce to 3T. Used the last of the ketchup - rinsed the bottle with an additional 1/4 cup of water to get it all. Marinated 14 thighs (with skin & bones) for about 2 hours & then grilled over indirect heat until done - tender meat & crispy skin, all mildly sweet & perfumed with 5 spice & ginger. Wonderful delicious recipe that I will use again. Thankyou SLColman.

I am originally from Florida, near Tampa. I attended undergrad at the University of Tampa, and grad school at Auburn University. When I got married I moved to Wyoming. Talk about culture and environment shock!!
I love animals, especially dogs. We try to get rescue dogs, particularly huskies. We currently have 2 huskies - one Siberian male and one Alaskan female. Huskies have so much personality!
I am a fan of the childrens books about Winnie the Pooh. I especially love TIGGER. Actually I love just about everything Disney. One of the things I miss most from living in Florida was getting to go to Walt Disney World anytime I wanted to. It really is one of the happiest places on earth.
I love to cook and am always trying a new recipe. I also like to garden, but find it quite a challenge here in Wyoming with our long winters and dry windy short summers. I like to experiment with herbs and spices.
During the summer of 2006 I was diagnosed with PCOS and as such realized that the excess weight I was carrying was quite literally killing me. I found SparkPeople.com and was able to lose over 75 pounds now with not too much more to go. My cooking has changed some since then in that I still cook the same foods I just go about it in a much healthier way. Taste is paramount to me - so if it doesn't taste good then why bother! :)
