A simple joy

With everything that's been happening the last two days, smiles, for me, have been few and far between. But this message from a friend, in response to the Satay recipe on my Satay Tartine blog, got me grinning from ear to ear.

"the beef is marinating in your Satay mixture as I type - it smells and tastes wonderful I cannt wait to taste it in a few hours. Couldnt get gangal in Queens today so I substituted young fresh ginger. The lemongrass is nice and fresh and fragrant. We are going to serve it with brown rice and snowpeas but I am sure we will concentrate on eating the meat - carnavores that we are. Maybe I can talk hubby into making some peanut sauce to go with..."

Thank you. I'm so glad you enjoy it.
