Tonight I made some macaroni salad and grilled some brats.  It was simple and tasty and went perfectly with my orange juice Cosmo!

I decided not to cook. Picked up Chinese.

let's see the egg roll  

the rice so bad I put it the girls bowl. 

stir fry just ok. nothing special.

sucks when you spend money for it & you can make it 100 times better at home.

the only good thing is I didn't cook or cleaned up.

however I will be wanting something later.in fact I want it now.

I hate spending money on foods I can make much better.. that's why we rarely dine out.. esp to the Chinese restaurants.. I worked at one for 3 years a long time ago and I know what and how behind their kitchen doors  

let's look at my eggroll.. it looks much better, right? and I'm sure it also tastes much better

bethk wrote:Imelda, for sure there are orders for dozens of YOUR egg rolls.  I cannot think of a more enjoyable weekend than to stand around someone's gigantic kitchen island while YOU teach us how to mix and roll egg rolls....all except Norm who says he got his fill of making egg rolls when he owned the Korean restaurant years ago.  But he will have the rest of us to roll for him....I'm sure he would still eat them with us!  LOL

and wanting Chinese food.

bethk wrote:Oh, wait....Jimmy, we need to ask Barb to make beef with broccoli, too !!!

Between what we KNOW we can order in and what we KNOW our friends can make, we'll be having a Chinese Food Feast.  Oh, what about Norm's Korean short ribs?  gosh, but it's been forever since I've had those.

HOW ABOUT IT, Norm, you willing to make a nice batch to share?

I'll get busy on a big batch of gyoza dumplings....just remembered I hadn't contributed.....

Oh, WOW, this is going to be such a fabulous virtual meal!

that sounds like a big Chinese food feast   and Norm has his Korean ribs.. anybody wants some chow mien ( fried noodles)? I can bring some
