Oh MY FREAKING GOD....stop bloody snowing already! I know it's Calgary...I know it snows randomly. But my birthday is next week...my tulips aren't even up....I AM DONE WITH WINTER! I'm going absolutely insane with wanting it to be warm. I gave away my summer clothes to my goddaughter today...ok..I'd need to lose 10 pounds so they'll fit, but that's irrelevant. I'll be living in hoodies and jeans for the next 25 years until I retire.So my plans for a fabulously yummy grilled caribbean chicken and salad turned into me making S's favourite dish.........chicken chow mein.
The key to this dish is apparently the cashews which I did not have on hand :( Sorry hon. The other key though is being prepared before you start.
Shred your carrots, get your peas ready and your noodles.
Chop your mushrooms and add ginger.
Stirfry the chicken.
And make your husband very happy that his favourite meal is on the table. Yep, doesn't matter that I make Osso Bucco or other various time consuming meals...ask S what he wants for supper and it's usually a unilateral cry for chicken chow mein.
I could go for some of that right about now! I think it would make an awesome breakfast.
ReplyDeleteSuddenly I have a craving for fresh peas, I haven't had any snow or sugar snap yet this year.
Ps,
ReplyDeleteOh my!
Glad we don't have snow here, but we did have hurricane winds Saturday night.
It's quite tasty but very very salty I find. I'm usually extremely thirsty the morning after. Ugh - hurricane winds suck too. I just want summer now. Could care less if spring even arrives.
ReplyDeleteYikes on that weather! It's nice here, we even grilled yesterday! Noodles look delicious :)
ReplyDeleteI know the feeling one day I wear short and flip flops the next parka and boots. Back to food it looks great love all the color.
ReplyDeleteCathy, you're right - forget spring, fastforward to summer! If you have to, stay inside with a DVD of Fantasy Island & sip Sangrias. Wear a lei around your neck if you have to!
ReplyDelete:-(
Hope it warms up soon!
Cathy, you and Shawn should become an illegal aliens and move to California! I love the way you move effortlessly from the weather to cooking!
ReplyDelete... which is what we had last night - but at a restaurant. I have been looking for a good recipe. Let's hope the meal warded off the snow-gods and the tulip goddess pays a visit.
ReplyDeleteTaste - mmmmmmmm sangrias - that's what I should make this weekend.
ReplyDeleteDavid - I'd love to be an illegal alien! In light of there being no more Pontiac, maybe I can come south and sell.....Lada's??
Claudia - more snow in the forecast dammit :(
Netts - almost impossible to predict what to wear to work in the morning....open toed shoes when you leave and then by lunch I need boots.
ReplyDeleteSara - I'm tough...I bbq in the snow ;)
I feel your pain with the weather; I'm cold if it dips below 70.
ReplyDeleteThe chicken chow mein looks incredible. You have a wonderful blog. Thanks for taking the time to stop by and visit mine!
that looks great! I've never made this. I would love the weather your having. California is just too darn predictable lately.
ReplyDeleteKatherine - below 70????? I'd love to have that weather all year long!
ReplyDeleteOneshot - trade you Calgary for Cali any day.
ooh wow i cant believe its snowing still in parts of north america!! whoa! regardless, nothing like hot plate of noodles to warm up the soul :)
ReplyDeleteOMG - I can't believe your weather luck. That totally sucks. I hope things are melting by now.
