To achieve the level of flavor I was looking for I found I had to adjust the spices by doubling the cumin and ginger; I also think more garlic would have been okay. We really enjoyed this one dish meal; it was quick and easy and I'll make it again. I used chicken tenders and peas and those worked very well.

I, like so many others, have a very picky husband that ABSOLUTELY LOVED this recipe! I followed the recipe as written, however, added a little more broccoli! It was fabulous! I will definitely be making this one skillet dish again and again. I can't wait for my parents to come visit so I can make it for them, too!!! GREAT! GREAT! GREAT!

I work as a professional stagehand for my local union (IATSE Local 26, West Michigan Stagehands), which takes me all over the state and lets me meet all sorts of interesting people. My primary training is in lighting and wardrobe, and I can be found backstage at everything from rock concerts to opera/ballet/symphony/Broadway tour performances to hockey games to corporate meetings and Presidential appearances. In June of 2005, my Local elected me to serve as a delegate to our International convention in mid-July, which was held in Honolulu. In November of 2008, I was elected to my third three-year term as Recording Secretary of my union local. Currently, I am the news poster for www.megatechnews, a computer tech site affiliated with several other tech sites.
My biggest passion is union activism. The more I get involved, the more I want to be involved. I also read like a fiend and enjoy "discovering" local or regional bands at local clubs.
Recently, I started making jewelry again after a more than ten-year hiatus. It started as a project for Christmas presents, but doing it reminded me how much I enjoy it, so I may be resurrecting my business soon. I never duplicate a piece, because the entire point is that I do custom work, and will take orders to suit. The pieces I have done are in a photo album on Facebook located here: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=21364&id=1373365950&l=5be410742d
