I hope the weather doesn't hurt your turnout tomorrow night. How many guests are you expecting? Sounds like a wonderful meal!

Tonight it's General Tsao's Chicken, egg rolls, hot and sour soup, and shrimp with green onion and garlic...maybe tsiang tsao too.

SeattleDeb:

Homemade or takeout?

What time is dinner?

[SeattleDeb]

Courtesy of Hunan Gardens...and I did an extra workout today so I'm not going to feel guilty about eating this stuff!

<getting poised with chopsticks at the ready>

SeattleDeb:

Good for you. Gee I wish I had some of what you're having. Have chopsticks, will travel.

I had Chinese, too- takeout, just like SeattleDeb. It was a dish called Chicken Velvets- six small egg foo youngs, basically, with large chunks of chicken breast and more crunchy veggies than typical e.f.y. The sauce was pale yellow and, I thought, chicken flavored. Quite tasty, and light- not greasy. Brad, do you deliver?? Congratulations to you other half on her achievement. Let us know what she thinks of the meal- and the trip to Boston! BTW, are you making hamentaschen this year? Fave recipe to share?

MsNelly,
We had company tonight - we barbecued outside (in the snow) a pork loin crusted with rosemary and garlic.
I also hand made some pasta - my first time! Made a squash & ricotta ravioli with sundried tomatoes topped with a goat cheese & carmelized onion cream sauce.
I also marinated some blanched asparagus in balsamic vinegar with red onion - served cold.
And I made a coffee flan in my toaster-oven because my regular oven just pooped the bed.
Actually, I'm pretty full now...

Cape Chef,
Good luck with your party! I'm just having people over to watch the Sopranos - but I'll be hoping the weather holds out for you.
Bright Blessings!

That's a fabulous menu there, Chef. Hope everything turned out OK.

Being that it looks like we are going to be snowed in here on the east coast, I stocked up on "kid" food.... I'm not making anything to make the kids whine when I a going to be trapped in the house with them.... so tonight for dinner..... pizza!

MsNelly...YES, beer, thanks for reminding me, I just sent my husband out for some.... 2nd rule to being snowed in with kids.... PLENTY OF WINE AND BEER!!!!LOL.....

[MsNelly99]

You've got that right. If you have lots of pizza and beer, the weather can do anything it wants to do. See ya.
Aren't those little smilies the cutest things?
