Iron Chef

One of the things, among many others, I have missed so much while not having a working kitchen.....is K cooking.  She is so brave and willing to try any recipe.  She has been cooking since she was old enough to stand on a chair beside me.  We have started something new in our home - having the kids cook dinner one night a week.  They have to plan the meal and make sure we have all the ingredients.  K has a new found love for chinese cuisine :)  She made orange chicken...from scratch.....no bottled sauces etc.
It was AMAZING...and she made fried rice also.  It was SO good.  And it was not a simple recipe...I bet it took her two hours!  I was in and out with meetings and she just had everything under control.

This is our new favorite appliance..a rice cooker that S got for his birthday. This things does it all, steams, rice comes out perfect..and it is a slow cooker! (Can be found at your friendly neighborhood Costco, of course)

Thank you K for the delicious meal and all your hard work.  Your up next M.....your sis is a tough act to follow ;).
