Go Figure

So, my husband is out tonight with friends. Which is actually something we do really well together, I mean, support each other to go out with friends and have time away from family. The problem is that we usually don't go out together! Anyway, that will be another post.

Tonight, of all nights, I get this bug to make home-made Chinese food. This is only strange because I don't recall EVER making Chinese. In fact, the only time my family eats Chinese is when I go out of town!

Once, when I was preparing to leave town for work, I asked my oldest daughter, Jordan, if she liked it when I leave town. She said, "Yes, because we get Chinese food and doughnuts. But when it comes time for you to go, I never want you to leave." Its horrible that food is such a drug!

Anyway, today, I received my shipment of Wildtree - which - if you don't know, is all natural food products that are AWESOME! In my attempt to be a better wife (which backfired this evening) I ordered some Thai Sesame Sun Butter Sauce and some Kickin' Asian Stir-Fry Sauce. All natural, blah blah blah. (I'm a health addict, for those of you who don't know me.) (Side bar, just because I'm a health addict doesn't mean I'm healthy or totally skinny and in shape, by the way. It just means I always try to feel better by focusing on being healthy.)

Oh My Goodness! All I can say is that the dinner I made was so tasty, I literally walked out my front door and over to my neighbors house to see if they wanted to eat over! I had made so much of this awesome food, and my main Chinese Eater was out with his buds. Well, the neighbors were on their way out to eat, but the wife/mom did come over to sample it. And she did agree that it ROCKED!

So naturally, my children, who eat real Chinese every time I go away, well, they really didn't like it at all. And my hubby wasn't home to eat it. So I reveled in it myself!

The lesson? Once again, I'm not sure if there is one. And now I have to go because my kids are asking for snacks (b/c they are starving from their taking only three bites of dinner). Surely my husband is about to walk in the door asking for dinner - anything but Chinese!
