I went out to get Mexican food last night and came home with Chinese.

I realized yesterday that I had not eaten Mexican food in several weeks, so I went to my favorite Mexican place to score a burrito. But it was closed. So was the Deli a couple of doors down. So I went with Chinese food instead. What I got was similar to Kun Pao Chicken (they call it Clay Pot Chicken) and it was really good. With rice, the cost was $20, but I'll get four or five meals out of it. Have you had a hankering for any particular food recently?

Yes, I have a hankering for my pear squares, but too lazy right now to make them!

We had Chinese on Saturday. It was deee-lish. What is Kun Pao Chicken? Is it spicy?

It's chicken in a slightly sweet sauce with peanuts. It IS slightly spicy!

@TheHorse I think we do. But the small local bar serves dinner and roast beef is usually on Thursday

I often get a craving for something but since I don't really go out now it is too much of a hassle to order and too expensive for me but now and then when it hits I do have to take a short walk to my favorite pizza place for one of their awesome Italian subs, That sandwich I eat for two days at least,

I'd have loved Chinese food too but unfortunately to get it one has to travel far.

Pinto beans and cornbread, which is what we are having for supper tonight. Your Chinese sounds like a lovely meal. Maybe you can get some Mexican today.
