We'll begin another corrections list and I'll make sure that gets top priority.

Hi ya John. I know it's OT, but if ya think about it it really isn't, is it?

JWE’s own chicken teriyaki. Yum. Recipe calls for skin-on, boneless thighs, but they’re hard to find. You want the skin, you need the skin. Get 4 bone-in thighs. If you have any kind of sharp filleting knife in the box, it’s literally 2 minutes and you are good to go.

Marinate in 1 tbs of grated fresh ginger, 1 tbs lemon juice, 2 tbs sake (unabashed plug for Gekkaikan). 30 minutes gets it done, but I like 1 hour; room temp. Drain and reserve on a plate.

Heat a large area dry pan to medium (medium-low, depending). The chicken will render, so no oil is necessary, but I like to put three teaspoons of sesame oil in there for flavor. Slowly fry the chicken, skin side down, for 10 minutes (till nicely golden brown), flip and do 3 more minutes. Idea is to get the skin side crispy, but still have it a touch under-done.

Meanwhile, combine 1 tbs, sake, 1 tbs mirin, 1 tbs soy, 1 tbs honey. You can use more or less, but 1:1:1:1 seems a good, tasty ratio. I think 1 tbs, for each, is good for each pound of thighs. Bring to a low boil.

Meanwhile steam some veggies. Asparagus and broccoli done al dente, i.e., bring water to a boil, throw the greens into the steamer, cover and cook five minutes. If you are an oriental perfectionist, use bok-choi.

When the sauce has rendered so it coats the back of a spoon, add the chicken and the veggies. Then Stir. Did I mention stir? Oh, yes, stir. You will get a beautiful, flavorful, glistening coating on you chicken and veggies; stuff that will make your eyes go epicanthic.

Traditionally served over sushi rice, but Thai Jasmine, or Indian Basmati work really well. Just put a tbs or 2 of sake into the rice water. You’ll be glad you did.

Ciao. JWE

In general its a good idea to make sure that upgrades like this do have 'shipyard minimum' set, so that they don't accidentally upgrade at some backwater and then have to return to a bigger base just to finish 'upgrading'.

It would appear that I am going to be stuck starting a new game. If this is the case then I want to go through and clean-up anymore issues that are found. Need to get a look around things, find a new opponent, and get things RESTARTED. Rat----Farts...

TENTATIVE THINKING:

CAPITAL SHIPS
Kure NSY #1
BB Owari Laid Down--1/36---Launched 1/38--Completed 1/40 Lead Ship in Class: 48 Months
BC Kawachi Laid Down--2/38---Launched 8/39--Completed 2/41 Lead Ship in Class: 34 Months
Slip Open 10/39

Mitsubishi, Nagasaki 1:
BB Hitachi Laid Down--1/38---Launched 1/40--Completed 2/41 2nd Ship in Class: 37 Months
BC Iwaki Laid Down--2/40---Launched 6/41--Completed 7/42 2nd Ship in Class: 29 Months
Slip Open 7/41

Owari Class
3x3 16.1"
42,000 T
30 Knots

Kawachi Class
3x2 14"
31,500 T
33 Knots

John (JWE/Symon) placed the building of the BBs 33-40 months. I placed the Owari beyond that and made Hitachi fall right in the middle. I figure the BCs are slightly faster to build and have them at 34 and 29 months. Allow for wartime rush in finishing Iwaki.

How about that?
