Barefoot In The Kitchen

So that's actually a total lie, I was wearing flip flops while I cooked last night. I finally got around to trying out Trader Joe's orange chicken (frozen food aisle). I put the frozen chicken in the oven and then waited for it to cool after it was cooked. I stored it in a plastic container in the fridge, then poured the sauce over right before I microwaved it for lunch today. Gotta say, pretty damn tasty and the sauce was not as thick/gooey/syrupy as many Chinese places around here. The sauce was also not super spicy, which is a plus in my book.

In other news, egg wash + not listening for the oven timer = sourdough loaf BURN. Bet it still tastes damn good.

Update: the sourdough was quite delicious, in fact; shown here with rose petal jelly purchased in Montreal

A Public Service Announcement

So every time I leave the city, it is always a huge shock to my system to come back and get on the subway. The people! There are so many of them! And they’re touching me!!! EEEEWWWW. Oh, and they’re fucking RUDE. Dude today got extra super bonus points – in addition to engaging in one of my biggest pet peeves, pushing your way in to the car while people are still trying to walk out, he also managed to step on my foot. Oh wait, there’s more! Not only did he step on me, he broke my shoe. Dear AZgirly, welcome home! Love, NYC.
