shrimp fried rice...
general's chicken

YAY!... normally, on the days the husband comes home from long trips, we order food... and we either get wings and pizza Or chinese... well, naturally, i was thinking...Mmmm chinese.. AND GUESS WHAT??? I CAN have it!!!! just makin it myself!      i've made the rice before.. and it was really good.     I add chopped water chestnuts to it for alil extra crunch since i'm not eating the peas and carrots in it.. i also sometimes add some sprouts.. but i think i'm gonna leave them out this time.      MMMM can't WAIT to start cooking.. also ... linda's recipes call for xantham gum.. a Lot... so, i'm gonna head out to wegmans to find it.. since they have EVERYTHING there...   YAY!  BBS! <3

soooo... due to an arachnid emergency...*blehblehblehbleGH!* dinner is being postponed until all pots and pans have been run thru the dish washer :( my new emeril.... all into the washer now.. despite MY OWN STRICT HANDWASH THESE THINGS ONLY... guess, i'll have to include some fine print there... In the event that a fat black spider w point fangs and a tear drop marking on it's back decides to taste test left overs.... SPRAY AND WASH!!!!  I MEAN SERIOUSLY?!?!?!  WHO THE HELL THOUGHT IT WAS A GOOD IDEA TO START MATING TERANTULAS WITH THE HOUSE SPIDER????? whomever you are...may you eat mushy cat food for the rest of your life!    UGH!  see..spiders are in my top 5 fears of all time...   normally, my heavly 9 year old aka bug boy will kill'm... play w them..whatever... he knows which are "safe" vs those that can "hurt you"... sh*t... as ar as i'm concerned..they're all evil...and need to BUG*OFF..ha...ha.. o.0    however, my boy is in MD for the day w my parents....  sooooooooo it was up to me... no manly men around here to kill it!!! so, i sprayed it w windex.  What? it was the first thing i had .. OH WAIT! let me tell you how i found this thing!!   i was on the phone w husb he was about to take off from vegas to come home...  and i picked up a green plate out of the sink to put it in the dish washer... my spI~dar immediately locked contact w this critter..and I screamed so loud! i hope i didn't burt his ear drum!!  anyway..i put the plate down.. hung up with him...(he was holding back laughter..NICE..Big Meany)... i then called my neighbor to see if her so was home.. so maybe heeeeee could come gittit.. he was at work... she stayed on the phone with me ... so... i'm heeby jeebying head to toe... sprayed w windex... didn't work..only stunned him..and he was stillhuge and sprawled out... then lysol...didn't work! THAT only pissed him OFF!.... he swam down the disinfected goodness (if only my entire house was as clean as the spider was at that moment..i'd be on the cover of better homes n gardens!!).... Mar and I were trying to figure out a way to get to this thing...well, JUST when i thought he was dead...NOPE! JUUUUST KIDDING! he pops up...and VERY QUICKLY crawls back up to the top of th cutting board... i screamed (sorry mary) ..... sprayed w more windex..since that seemed to be the better of the two.... once he seemed stunned enough..i ran downstairs to get the "nonscented" terminix spray... well... lemme tell you from prior experience... taht ish does NOT kill spiders!!!! LIARS! don't kill spiders..and sure as Heck isn't Nonscented!...  so.. i sprayed on and off playin cat and mouse with this thing..at one point...i almost grabbed the cutting board and tossed it...BUT he FLIPPED BACK OVER!!!!!!FROM HIS BACK TO HIS...legs...*shudders*   then i sprayed again... then back to his back he lay... i waited for a few minutes... honeslty.. you'd think...that after all this spraying..he'd be dead... well.. no.. he kept twitching his damn legs... finally...i sprayed him down far enoug (THANK GOD FOR THE SPRAU OPTION on the Nozzle!)... when he was balled up enough... i gloved up w an oven mit... hebby jeebily grabbed teh cutting board..and tossed the board and sir twitchy~aint gonna kill me~Spider into the trash can.    Fortunately, Mary had a spare cutting board... sooo..there's a happy ending to this.   i think i need therapy... this fear of spiders is ridiculous!!!!!
  BACK TO DINNER~~~>
  so, if you click on her link for the generals sauce, she'll state that w the recipe..there' not enough for extra suce.. ummm.. there wasn't enough for all my chicken... like wearin a B cup when you're a D.. yeah.. SO, i doubled the recipe.  I do NOT have a zester :(... But, what i did was take orange skin and fresh ginger chunked...and put it in the food processor..OH and i doubled the recipe. :D
   so, the chicken is  in a big Spider free bowl, resting in the marinade, covered w foil..because i'm out of Ziplocks ....  it has to stay there for an hr.   then i'll chop up some peppers and onion... and finish what the recipe says to do.
        In the Meantime... i'm gonna get started on the shrimp fried rice.  YUMMY!  bbs!
