Recipe request

[venta]

Does anyone have a good recipe for teriyaki sauce ? I'm after the thick, sticky kind which is served in some Japanese restaurants. Not the thin kind (although that's good as a marinade), which is also served in some Japanese restaurants :)

Failing that, can anyone recommend a brand of buyable sticky sauce ?

Raaar!

Well the picture is of Tatiana, who's a girl tiger[1], rather than me. Telling you that my girlfriend-at-the-time-I-first-met-you is on your flist but not mine is probably not very much of a clue. Actually, it might not even be true, but it's certainly true of the first time I remember meeting you.

Hmmm. I have a guess, but viewing your friends list suggests you don't count your brother as a friend :) Or maybe you've kept your LJs secret from each other.

Hmm. How are your hands these days ?

As far as I'm aware, my brother hasn't updated his LJ or read his flist in the last two years, so there didn't seem much point in putting him on mine. The only mutual friends that I and he have (that I can see) are you and spaglet. Does this confirm your guess?

As for the hands... pretty grim; the current diagnosis (as of a few years ago) is early-onset arthritis, which is obviously encouraging as all hell. I've been working part-time for a while but have averaged less than three hours per week over the last couple of months and have an appointment to talk to the doctor tomorrow....

How are yours, which never got quite the way mine did, IIRC?

I'm too lazy to check properly, but I think so; if nothing else, the answer to the following question did...

That does sound nasty and a little bleak. I'm really sorry to hear that all the problems are still ongoing. Fingers crossed that the doctor might have something useful to say tomorrow.

I guess by now you've heard most of the well-meaning comments/suggestions people might have, and I'm sorry not to be able to think of anything original to say.

No, mine were never as bad. In fact the diagnosis was ultimately that there was nothing wrong with them at all, the problems all stemmed from my neck. I now do various neck/shoulder exercises that keep my hands in working order. I still get a bunch of neck problems, but they tend to vary from mildly uncomfortable to short-term painful, certainly nothing seriously debilitating.
