More food

I've got some interesting recipes on the docket this week; we'll see how they turn out.

Last night's experiment was a success, though. The cookbook calls it "Oriental-Style Chicken Noodle Soup", but we are calling it "Fancy Ramen" It was easy to make and yummy to eat. However, I did have to venture into an untouched corner of the produce section to buy bok choy. It was pretty good and tastes like water chestnuts.

To make: Heat 3 cups of water to boiling. Add one package of Oriental-flavor Ramen noodles, 2 cups of cooked and shredded chicken, one carrot sliced thin, and 2 stalks of bok choy, sliced thin. Simmer and stir for 3 minutes; stir in seasoning. Eat!

Sam and I were both surprised by how good this was. Lots of crunchy veggies and good chicken-y flavor. We'll definitely make it again.

I remember my original comment was supposed to say "yummy" not "tummy". Don't comment on blogs from your phone late at night.

And no, we don't go to the store everyday. We have been very good about making a weekly menu and getting everything we need in one trip.
