(My mother's voice)
Okay, so.. Arkin look here! Stop with that blackberry! Pay attention! First you will throw these slices of spiced chicken in a pot and begin to marinate them. In the meantime, can you reach up and grab me the bowl of rice? (It's hard for her as she is just over 5'1") Now, I take this bowl of rice and pour it into this pot of boiling water on the stove. Let the rice sit here and become soft. Do NOT let it boil for too long. Arkin, look here! After the chicken is tender, place the pieces onto a flat pan on the stove and add a bit of salt to them. Make sure to spray the pan with this oil and rub it down clean before so that nothing sticks. Try this piece. Can you taste it for me? Is it fully cooked? (She is a vegetarian--quite ironic how well she cooks meat, yet has never enjoyed it herself)
Oh shoot!.. Look how many leaves there are outside! I hate raking leaves--they're such a huge pain. Do you remember the old neighbors that had a leaf blower? Remember that guy?.. What was his name? Mr. Conte? Yeah. He was the nicest man.. always would come over and do our lawn after his. And in the winter, he would use his snow-blower and plow our sidewalk for the people walking by. Now, its such a hassle to have to find a rake and clean the yard.
