The primary ingredients are chicken, red pepper and basil. However, the sauce flavoring is a combination of oyster sauce, fish sauce and soy sauce. Generally, I try to keep the salt content of my dinners low, so I used light soy sauce. Additionally, the fish sauce is only used in trace amounts, but it greatly enhances the flavor. A chili garlic paste is also added to increase the flavor of the dish. The main ingredients are stir fried together in a mixture of garlic and canola oil, and then served over a bed of Shanghai noodles (Chinese style flour noodles), which can be found in Asian grocery stores. Since the main dish included protein, vegetable and starch, I chose not to include a separate side dish with the meal. For dessert, I had coffee ice cream with dark chocolate chips.

I looove the 70’s Show – the writers have some great, hilarious lines. The characters compliment each other, well, not literally! It’s a great reminder of how times used to be – how carefree we were – how we thought the silliest things were the most important. The youth back then are portrayed very well by this show – from their ‘antics’ to their dressing style to their ‘vocalizations’. It’s just an all around great comedy show.
Keeping Your Best Friend Comfortable
January 25th, 2010Ever since man discovered that dogs could provide service, protection and companionship, we have bonded with them and included them as a family member. Our goal should be to provide as much comfort to our canine friends as we can. Dogs, like humans grow older and develop just as many problems as humans. One of these infirmities happens to be arthritis. When your canine friend can no longer be comfortable resting on its old favorite rug, it may well be time to investigate bolster orthopedic dog beds. After all, if you had trouble sleeping on just any old mattress instead of one designed specifically suitable for someone suffering from arthritis; doesn’t your canine friend deserve the same? They come in various sizes from small to large and will make your dog’s life much easier.
Two Strengths Necessary for Success
January 22nd, 2010Many people have different strengths, and what is a weakness for one person can be seen as strength for another. With that in mind, the strengths I have are organization and time-management. Organization is the main strength that makes a person successful. When working in a busy environment, it’s important to be organized with all of the tasks that need to be completed throughout the day. Organization ensures that nothing “slips through the cracks.” A second strength goes along the same lines as organization: time management. If you are able to effectively utilize your time, you will be able to complete more tasks throughout the day. It’s also good to be able to acknowledge what tasks need to be completed on a specific day. These ties in with prioritizing tasks. If a person is able to be organized and have time management, they will be able to succeed at any career or task they face.
