Flavor base for clam soyrizo pasta.
The pretty picture doesn't always equate to thumbs-up dinner. Clam pasta with Soy- or Chorizo is a thumbs up plus a shaka sign of approval for dinner.
The household was very skeptical because let's face it, Soyrizo looks like canned dog food (see left). But as a flavoring agent, it is fantastic. We ate this last week after seeing it on Diners Drive Inns and Dives. I followed the basic recipe, but swapped cho- for soy-rizo, used canned instead of fresh clams and corn, amped up the garlic and shallots and nixed the butter.

Thai chicken pizza. Pretty but meh.
The experiment for CPK-like Thai chicken pizza, pictured at left, looked and sounded so promising that I made two of them.
I'm in marketing. I should know better. It wasn't horrible, but it definitely wasn't great, very much まま (ma-ma, which means a slightly negative-leaning so-so in Japanese). I do like the idea and definitely like the taste of the real CPK Thai chicken pizza, but I still need to figure out a kickier version of the base pizza sauce. Back to the kitchen for this one.
On the plus side, there is now a good picture of Chicken Satay.
