You know how you see these holiday specials that show how to make treats for Halloween but they show it to you the DAY before Halloween (I'm not mentioning names...MARTHA!). Well, how is THAT supposed to help me? Unlike you (MARTHA!) I don't have 30 yards of muslin, 2 pounds of fresh truffles and a container of edible gold dust in my closet unlike some insanely rich entertaining guru who has a full time staff, show and a magazine but shall remain nameless.

I know what you were thinking as you read that last recipe…TWO STICKS of BUTTER!? C’mon, you don’t think I eat like that all the time, do ya? Oh, you do. Well, let me prove you wrong. This is my entry in the Beat the Heat roundup at A Southern Grace. Anyhoo, bulgur (cracked wheat) can be cooked sans heat so it’s perfect for dog days like these. Here’s how.

I checked out a Japanese cookbook and next to the recipes for sushi and miso soup, I found a recipe that would make my cast-iron skillet proud - tonkatsu. Traditionally made from pork, I decided to try the chicken version called simply Chicken Katsu.
