New View, Hiroshima, N. Korea,

As I previously said, they have now removed our balcony wall with the result that we can now see the grass from indoors when we are sitting down. Pity the new railings aren't going to be transparent. When it's sunny, it's a nice view. The large gantry (or whatever it's called) runs from the ground to the top floor and all over the weekend I kept seeing it out of the corner of my eye and thinking there was someone on the balcony. We have sheers (net curtains) on our windows and mainly just see a shadow unless you actually turn round and look.

I was somewhat surprised to discover, on Sunday morning, that it was the 72nd anniversary of

Hiroshima. Not a nice thing to remember, but on the other hand, it is important that we do recall the horror of atomic bombs. Talking of which I am somewhat nervous of Kim Jong-un and his missiles. I don't think he has anything against Canada, but if he fires missiles at the States, he could miss. Mind you if Yellowstone erupts it won't do Canada much good either so what am I worrying about? Looks a sulky bugger doesn't he?

This is a very simple recipe which I found through Yummly at a blog called Plain Chicken.

Chicago Chicken

1 jalapeno (remove the seeds and membranes if you don't want the heat)
Juice of 1 lemon (3 Tbsp)
1 Tbs dried oregano
3 Tbs olive oil
3 cloves of garlic, minced
2-3 boneless, skinless chicken breast

1. Combine first 5 ingredients in the food processor.  Pulse until combined and jalapeno is finely diced.  Pour into a ziplock bag, add chicken.  Toss to coat.  Let marinate in refrigerator overnight and then grill.

Servings: 3
