We are one week closer to spring here in the northern hemisphere! Who is ready!?
Do you order Chinese takeout? What do you get?
DH and I celebrated Valentine's day last Thursday when my mother took our kids overnight. It was nice; but not practical for going out to eat (which is fine). So instead we ordered Chinese food and DH picked it up on his way home from work. Sometimes it's REALLY nice just to sit back on the couch together. Plus; it was tasty! This was our first time ordering from this place. I've had trouble with some other Chinese food places so I was leery of trying a new one. My favorite is way out of the way since we moved here almost 7 years ago; so getting some Chinese takeout is a treat!! This new place was good; but not quite as good as the other place.
I ordered Sesame Chicken. I usually get General Tso Chicken with pork fried rice or occasionally shrimp fried rice. My favorite place you can request "mild" spiciness; but since we were ordering from a new one I just got Sesame Chicken. I also got an order of Beef Lo Mein that I had for lunch for several days afterward.
That was good too! DH usually gets some kind of Sweet and Sour Chicken but he went for the Sesame chicken too this time. I used to get beef and broccoli every time; but I've been making my own version at home so I don't really order that anymore. There is a place by my mother's house that is pretty good and they offer brown rice if you request it. My Mom loves their steamed vegetables over brown rice with some kind of sauce. My kids enjoyed that at her house before too.
