Honesty, that’s a tough question to answer. Hands down, home cooking beats delivery any day. However; take out does have its advantages. For one thing, when we order Chinese, it’s not a single dish with some rice. Oh no, it’s an entire buffet!

Lemon Inspired Sizzling Supper
One of the things I find most amazing about Chinese Chicken Recipes such as Lemon, Orange or General Tso’s Chicken is that the basic chicken preparation can remain the same. All you really need do is create a different sauce for the finish, creating different dishes.

Today is National Washington (State) Day, Shrimp Day and a beautiful Spring Saturday. I don’t know what spring is like in your neck of the woods, but here in the low-lands and rolling hills of California’s Gold Country, Spring Festivals are in full swing.

Today is Chinese Almond Cookie Day. I adore Almond Cookies. However; there will be no cookies today in our house. Hubby and I have given up sweets for Lent.

Today is both Lame Duck and Chop Sticks Day. Imagine my delight when I found a picture of chop sticks with Duck rests. Perfect!

On August 15, 1945 the Japanese announced their surrender. This announcement signaled the end of the war. However; the official signing of a surrender did not take place until September 2 aboard the battleship USS Missouri that was docked in Tokyo Bay.

Yeah, it’s National Chopstick Day. Don’t you just love those bowls made for chopsticks?

Today is National Two-Eye Color Day to celebrate those rare people with two different colored eyes. I bring this up because Hubby is one of those with two different colored eyes. One is brown most of the time, changing to a green olive or hazel, the other is blue that darkens to a gray.

Here we are, poised on the eve of National Chinese Take Out Day. Yep, tomorrow is Chinese Take Out Day. Last year, I shared a recipe for Crab Rangoon with a Dipping Sauce and explained why we don’t do Chinese Take Out. It’s not that we have anything against Chinese Take Out per say, but generally speaking, we aren’t a Take Out kind of family.

I love the idea of eating with chop sticks, but the truth of the matter is I am not very good at it. I think that, for me, chop sticks would make a great diet tool. It would take me an entire day to eat a bowl of rice!

Today is National Peanut Butter Day. The moment I realized that, my mind wandered back many, many years. When Hubby and I were newly weds (back in the stone age), we belonged to a Dinner Party Club.

Delicious Butter Lettuce Chicken Wraps
Have you ever eaten at a PF Changs restaurant? If so, what’s your favorite dish? For me, it’s got to be the Lettuce Wraps. I could make a meal out of them.
Slow-Cooker Honey Garlic Chicken
This chicken is amazingly simple to make. Throw your chicken into your slow-cooker, mix up the sauce in a bowl, pour over the chicken, cover, press start and walk away. With the slow-cooker humming along in the corner of the kitchen, Kiddo and I were able to bake a bunch of last-minute Flood Cookies.
Asian Foil Wrapped Chicken Thighs
Do you have a pet peeve? Something that really makes you crazy? I have more than I can count, although after 30+ years of being married to a man who bravely pokes fun at all my petty pet peeves, I’ve learned to let go of a few. Hubby would do things like eat a salad with a dinner fork just to teach me that the world was not going to go spinning off to some etiquette hell because of it. And then there are those pet peeves that do matter, and we need to speak up.

I love my Spicy Asian Inspired Stir-Fry Spaghetti, often serving it up along side such family favorites as Chicken Adobo. Since I am always on the lookout for new ways to serve up the noodles, I had to give this Asian Barbecued Chicken a try. What an awesome pairing! There’s something about fresh ginger and garlic dancing along my taste buds that I find exhilarating. The sweetness of the brown sugar, the salty flavor of the soy sauce – yeah baby!
