Sometimes
I like to stroll through grocery stores looking at various items I've never before purchased and imagine what my limited cooking skills could make with such a product. Well, a couple weeks ago as I was leisurely meandering my way through the Asian isle, I noticed bottles of sweet and sour sauce. I started reflecting on all the restaurants that have delicious sweet and sour, and then the discouraging thought occurred to me that my sweet and sour will never taste like theirs. Disappointed, I wandered around a while longer, when a good 20 minutes later I found myself staring at those tempting little sweet and sour sauces again. Staring turned into picking up the bottles and reading the ingredients ( I've never really thought about what's in sweet and sour sauce before), and then I noticed right there on the back of the bottle was a handy sweet and sour recipe. I read the recipe and realized I
was capable! I could actually make this recipe. It really wasn't difficult at all. The stroll quickly turned into a brisk paced mission as I hunted down everything else I would need to complete my Sweet and Sour Chicken. I am pleased to announce that tonight I made Sweet and Sour Chicken for the fir
st time ever. I served it with fried rice and a small salad. It successfully met the hunger pangs and taste demands of my husband. One more meal to add the meal menus! It was scrumptious and really quite simple!
Oh! Good for you!! We are big on the stir-fry type meal here but haven't ventured into the s-n-s realm yet. May have to see what's out there on all recipes or something.
