I forgot about this day today, but I have an equally (or more) delicious recipe \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

There’s something about handling raw meat which is so unappealing. It’s slimy, often bloody, bones and fats running all over — ewww!!! I know, a food blogger having doubts and ick! factor about food.<\/p>\n

Hey, I am just human. A terribly-afraid-to-touch-raw-meat<\/em> kinda human.<\/p>\n

Not really afraid<\/em>. More\u00a0ICKY\u00a0than afraid.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

On the other hand, I can literally bathe myself with spices. Love the aroma, taste and versatility. Absolutely love star anise. It’s such an underused spice. It is usually used in meat recipes. One small star anise goes a looooooonnggg way, so be subtle in usage.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Opened the refrigerator one day and saw a sad tub of pomegranate arils, waiting to be consumed. I made this recipe and had leftovers for sangria.<\/p>\n

Yeah, spiced chicken and sangria goes hand in hand. I dare you to try it \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We made this spiced chicken, had sangrias and woke up with an urge to go for antique prop shopping. Weird right? Well, it worked out great for my prop collection, but doing that definitely burnt a huge hole in my pocket. That’s what sangria does to you. It goes to your head and you end up shopping,\u00a0frivolously. Heh.<\/p>\n
