Whatcha cookin'?

Thai-style chicken and shrimp fried rice ***** Best I ever had.

Udon sesame chicken noodles **** Definitely needs lite soy sauce, very salty recipe. These were supposed to be Thai noodles of some sort, but I didn't have any.

Bleu cheese chicken **** My first attempt at a roll-up kind of recipe. I didn't have any toothpicks, so I was browning the chicken rolls with the spinach/bleu cheese mixture while holding them together with chopsticks. It made for a unique presentation.

chili paste n/a Just needed some for a recipe.

Pineapple curry **** Would have been better without potatoes, but great taste.

Fried chicken *** for having to finish them in the microwave because I set the frying temp. too high.

NY Strip with gorgonzola sauce * for accidentally using a pasta gorgonzola sauce, instead of one for steaks (butter and milk based instead of wine/shallot origins), and using a really expensive gorgonzola that was not meant to melt. I haven't had a decent steak/gorgonzola sauce since I moved out of SoCal, and the streak goes unbroken.

Shrimp/cucumber/bean paste stir-fry *** Do NOT stir-fry cucumber without deseeding them. It's all fun and games until the seeds start hitting you in the eye at popcorn speed. I also added too much salt, and it's hard to get sauces to stick to cucumbers. Needs a do-over.

It would have been better if that big green pepper on the label had a face and was shown eating the noodles flavored with the tastes of his brethren.

Dayna made fried rice and... hey...

The only thing I would like to make is a dish I saw in one of George R. R. R. R. MaR.R.R.R.tin's books -- cut the end off a loaf of bread and fill it with fish chunks. I would like to grill some salmon, throw some sort of sauce into it and then stuff it in the last quarter of a loaf of bread.

Then follow it up with rough sex with a salt wife, as everyone in his book seems to do.

That's like...1, 2,... that's like FIVE sidedishes. 5? I know it's all about the sidedishes, but 5? I can barely make 1.

Did you drink the blood of thine enemies out of the hollowed antlers?

I *never* make more than three sides. Who the hell has time to make more than that?

Kashi! It's the new pilaf for breakfast, lunch, or dinner! Great served cold or warm!

If by "blood of thine enemies" you mean "gin and tonics" and "hollowed antlers" you mean "1950s beakers with blue polka dots" then yes.
