Kung Pao Chicken Just Like Take Out

I recently entered the world of Chinese with the recent dinner I made of Kung Pao Chicken. You can't have Chinese food with broccoli, at least that is what you get with Chinese take out.

So I went to the Chicken breast cookbook. Here is the recipe.

Many of the Chinese recipes I found all required boneless chicken thighs. But I decided I wanted to use white meat. I also served brown rice as opposed to white rice. The one special ingredient I needed for this recipe was Chinese Red Pepper Sauce. It was worth every penny and I can look for recipes that use that ingredient.

In my pantry I have also added fish sauce and hoisin sauce. After all the healthiest Chinese takeout is the meal you prepare. If you like to cook, guaranteed this meal is definitely a treat.

Catching Up From All the Work

Sorry I haven’t written in a while, I have been far busier than expected between the volunteer work and my job, and now I am ready for action with more time available.

This week I went to go see Jerry’s Girls at the Ivoryton Playhouse. Jerry’s Girls included Amy D. Forbes, Julia Kiley, MaryAnne Piccolo, Jackie Sidle, and Elizabeth Talbot. The girls performance was excellent, and I loved hearing some of my favorite tunes from Hello, Dolly!, and La Cage ay Folles.

These articles were written while I was working on the project for The Barnaba Institute: The Thrill of Laughs in the Great Race, The Exciting Life of the Sims, The 20-minute Steak Meal, Being on Humira, and Howard Hawks’ Gentlemen Prefer Blondes.

I also made some jewelry. I have been working on Christmas gifts. At the moment I am working on two more necklaces, all are expected to be Christmas gifts.

Recently I prepared Roast Chicken with Garlic and Potatoes. I prepared it minus the carrots, and I basted the chicken with chicken broth. It was nice and crisp and a definite winner. The potatoes had enough flavor not to need butter.

I also prepared Hoisin Oven Barbecue Chicken. I love the flavor of the Hoisin Sauce and it gives a definite flavor to the chicken that makes you want to say ‘Dynamite’.

All the dishes were very easy to prepare and truly enjoyable.

The only thing left to do now is start preparing for the holidays.
