A Tangy Dinner

My lawyer is a keeper. I've been super busy with work and studying so Mr. Lawyer had dinner ready when I came home. I did make the marinade in the morning but he picked out the recipe and did all the cooking. It was good but tangy. I really liked it but if you're not a fan of tang I wouldn't recommend it. It did make a ton of marinade, you could probably get away with using 1/3 cup of everything. And it might be yummy to add some fresh chopped garlic instead of powder. He also made this yummy salad he has made before but this time he but some fresh basil from Weggy in it and it was more delicious than the other times he made it! The salad is also tangy so it was a doubly tangy and delicious dinner!
