Tonight I made sweet n' sour chicken. Much different than what you would get if you ordered it in a Chinese restaurant. I appreciated the different taste, mainly from the pineapple. It was refreshing! I picked up some fresh greens to go as a side, they were only steamed for about 1 minute. I wanted to preserve the sweet, crisp taste of them; they are so easily over cooked. Once the "juices" were thick and bubbly, I served it over steamy hot Jasmin rice. I've had a thing with Jasmin lately...my long grain and brown rice are starting to feel lonely in my cupboard. My husband isn't a huge fan of lots of pineapple, but he was a trooper for me tonight and I feel good enough to say that I think he did enjoy the healthiness about it. I bought Canola oil for the first time ever to make this dish. I now feel I need to find other recipes just to use the oil up or I fear it will sit in my cupboard FOREVER! I'm still sick so I have no idea what I will be eating tomorrow. I'm sort of leaning towards making some more chicken noodle soup, maybe just a small pot for myself along with fresh baked bread. Im going to bed now.
