hmmm, I've got that recipe on our box o' rice too. Never tried it though. DH didn't like it the time I tried adding pineapple juice to a stir fry (yeah, he was right, it was pretty gross), but I don't think our homemade attempt at sweet and sour sauce has what it needs.

The fiancée and I have tried to make homemade Chinese sauces but it never comes out right.

Speaking of little people, just saw my 2 YO's daily sheet from daycare from Monday...under "what I did today", it says "played with little people outside"...I'm thinking, man...the daycare rounded up a bunch of little people just for the kids to play with? No wonder daycare is so expensive.


the lawyer work involved with getting all the release forms drawn up is probably insane.

yeah, we've tried various combos of honey, brown sugar, soy sauce, ginger.......we never use vinegar or peanut oil like they say too. That's probably where we fail. Because it's usually sweet enough, but no sour.

maximum troll job if they are basing things off of what I search. Like last night, I was telling DH how the symptom checker doesn't work for me (turned out to be a browser thing) so he was doing it and adding random things to my "symptoms" to see what crazy diseases he could say I had. I do that sometimes too. Like I put in 'sneezing' but then "words have a taste" sounded interesting so I added that too to see what it meant.

We make a lot of Chinese food (wife is half Chinese) and I've gotten much better at getting certain flavors right. A little oyster sauce coupled with soy is a good blend for a "throw-together" fried rice with leftover steak/chicken. My father in law would always add a little sugar to counter the bitterness whenever he cooked.

For a fairly simple meal, try 3 cup chicken sometime. There are a lot of variations, but the premise is very simple and it has great flavor. We use boneless skinless chicken thighs for the meat to keep it juicier. It's a pain to eliminate the chicken fat, but the flavor trumps chicken breast meat enough to make the extra effort worth it.

I saw the thread title and immediately thought of the song., 'the wheels on the bus'. #toddlerlife

That's exactly what I thought and it's a perfect response to his overreaction. The wheels on the cyclone bus just keep going round and round. A few bad stops against BU and KSU, but we're still rolling.
