Sounds good John. I seriously suggest from what you post, that you add
more green vegetables. It doesn't have to be salad.

If I were making that, it would have shifted a bit simply because Don
doesn't like brown rice and it's too much trouble to make both types.
White rice would be here. I'd have gone for a thigh too as I like the
dark meat better. Then added here would have been 2-3 Gai Lan stalks.
That is Chinese Broccoli and easy to get here. I simply steam them on
the stove in a huge steamer pot. You could also do green beans (fresh
are lovely steamed or sauteed in a frying pan with a little butter or
oil such as olive oil of the cheap type).

The green bean bit in a frying pan just sauteed takes about 4 minutes
to cook but you can also start with some minced fresh garlic and do
that first for 5 minutes, then add the green beans for another 4. About
right would be to mince a single clove, then take only 1/4 of it for
this meal and save the rest in the fridge for another meal.
