Asian Cravin'

I've been having a mad craving for Chinese food for several weeks. The last time I ordered some was when I had what I thought was a stomach virus but have now determined was food poisoning. I only got about 3 bites before my tummy decided to rid itself of my earlier funky lunch. Hubby rather enjoyed my Chinese food for his lunch the next day though. The big lout!

On a side note, I think food poisoning is the way to go because only the one who ingested it gets sick. With a virus, you watch with dread as it makes its way through the entire family eventually coming to the conclusion that all your antibacterial hand washing and Lysol-ing the bathrooms was in vain when you too get sick. And I don't handle that kind of sick well at all.

So last night, I decided to have a little Chinese dinner. I had some frozen eggrolls in the freezer and Barb had just posted a this tutorial for fried rice (which is where my downfall is). Plus, last week a local grocery had these on sale for buy one get one free -- the same store that allows you to just get one at half price if you prefer...

Which is what I did because I wanted to try it. I got Cashew Chicken though but I didn't use the rice since I was making fried rice. I was pleasantly surprised at how good this kit was. It actually tasted like something from a restaurant.

Apparently, everyone else thought it was good too. We had approximately 1/4 cup left.

We'll just see who gets the leftovers this time, buddy!
