2 chicken breasts, sliced into 1/2" thick slices
1 tbsp olive oil
1/4 cup water or sake (rice wine)
 
Place chicken in frying pan with olive oil, cook on highest heat until it starts crackling and popping, stirring occasionally.
Make sure the chicken is being cooked evenly, but browning at the same time. Let it stick a blt to the pan on each side.
Once it seems really hot, add 1/8 cup water and let it boil, stirring around the chicken in the dirty brown water. Stir frequently
and let the water boil off. When the water is gone, don't stir and let it stick for a minute or two and brown really well on one side.
Then add the remaining water and stir around again, making sure to cook evenly. Pay attention and don't burn it...
 
Mmmm Dirty Chicken!
 
Add several habanero peppers to taste. :-o

Have you ever wanted to test a table in the database for the correct structure? Ever had someone make a column nullable that shouldn't have been? ever have someone make a column VARCHAR instead of NVARCHAR? INT instead of BIGINT? SMALLDATETIME instead of DATETIME? This is an easy way for bugs to creep in - when the code is written for one version of the database and then someone makes a change... So if you haven't been testing your tables (SQL should be TDD'd too), perhaps you should... Here is a handy stored procedure you could use that describes a table in an easy-to-test way.

OK, so it turns out that this is a GREAT recipe for using Habanero chili peppers. This recipe is perfect for bread makers also.
 
Habanero Beer Cheese Bread
1 packet yeast
3 cups flour
1 tbsp butter
1 tsp salt
1 tbsp sugar
8 oz beer (room temperature, flat or not)
8 oz grated cheese (cheddar works well)
2 Habanero chili peppers, diced into tiny pieces
 
Mix all ingredients, and knead dough. Let it rise for an hour, then bake at 375 until golden brown.
Or, just use a bread maker...
