I am craving for some Chinese food so that's what I will have for dinner tonight.
I've got Kung Pao chicken from Trader Joe's in the freezer.
I will cook that in the skillet (as per instructions).
I am gonna boil some basmati rice to go along with it.
And I've already blanched some broccoli from the farm.
That should be pretty filling.
And then there's ice cream, seedless green grapes, and raspberry crumb cake with tea and cheese for dessert.
I am super hungry and am waiting for hubby to come home from work so I can start cooking.
Don't want to make it ahead of time and then reheat.

@lovebuglena No, it is not at all hard to prepare, steam the rice first, let it cool then fry in a pan adding the ingredients you prefer.

@LadyDuck I’ve never steamed rice before. Don’t have the gadget for that. I just boil it.

I’ve never done that myself. Is it hard to do?

Me too! As long as there is no MSG.

@LindaOHio when I buy stuff at the store I always check if there is msg in it. Wonder if all restaurants are honest and say they use msg if they add it to their dishes.

@kareng I had a broccoli omelet yesterday and today, so it didn’t go to waste. I really like it.

It was, though I remembered about the broccoli after I finished eating.

I don’t think I’ve seen it on menus where I eat usually.

I love Chinese food and I have not had any for years now.
I miss it.
Cannot afford it no way.
Your dinner sounds awesome Lena.
Glad you enjoyed it.

@lovebuglena For us it is way out of our budget ..takeaway here, because I would not go to the restaurant at this time, would amount to nearly $40 for just the two of us to get a good amount of food.

Chinese is not expensive really. Depends what restaurant you go to.

I did. Just wish I had remembered about the broccoli. After I finished eating and took the plate to the sink I noticed the pot with the broccoli, which I had made to eat with the Kung Pao chicken. Took some out and ate by itself.

So did you enjoy the broccoli alone? Sorry that you forgot about it and could not add it to the other part of the meal. I love Chinese food.

We had Chinese for lunch and had the buffet. I was a total glutton.

Sorry. No pictures. Can’t really do that as my phone doesn’t have much room on it.

@kobesbuddy I don’t mind taking pics but not much room on the phone.

Without a photo is perfectly acceptable! Some members don't like taking pictures.
