Okay, this isn't actually anything to do with piña coladas, but piña colada sort of rhymed with peanut butter, so... Hey, it's a Sunday night, so throw a girl a bone here. Anyhoo... a couple of weeks ago we had friends and their families over for lunch, potluck. There are two things which rule about potluck meals - you don't have to cook everything, and there is a variety of dishes to sample. Oh, and a good portion of the dishes go home with those who brought them. So three things. Sweet. This recipe is for a satay sauce. Ooooh, I hear you (sarcastically) coo. Seriously, before you roll your eyes and declare there's nothing special about satay, it's just a peanut sauce, try this one. Get some chicken kebabs (that's what we had), or slap a layer onto a tasty homemade burger, then sink your teeth into a taste sensation. Over the top? No. This sauce, from Mel Instone, is sublime. It's got a nice twist, from the chilli and fish sauce. I'm just trying to thing of more ways to slip it into our evening fare. Maybe on pizza bases? Or just on a spoon. Yum. So good. Hungry. Going to make some more. Bye!!

Peanut sauce is truly one of my favourite things, so my "ooh" was definitely non-sarcastic :)
