Saturday, 9/19/2010


Our very good friend Sydney came over for dinner tonight.  Ben made Spicy Peanut Chicken for us.  We opted to serve it over plain white rice this time.  This is such a delicious dish.  And, other than having to cut chicken, bell pepper, and ginger, it is really easy to make.  Katie nibbled on some cinnamon bread that Sydney brought over, and then she ate corn and rice.  

After dinner, Katie finally figured out how to get her little feet into my big shoes and walk around.  She's been trying for a while, and today was her first success!  She had a little trouble navigating the threshold between the carpet and the kitchen tiles, but did amazingly well in my shoes.  I know this has nothing to do with dinner, but she is soo cute!  



After Katie went to bed, Ben, Sydney, and I played a round of Banagrams.  Then, Sydney stayed with Katie while Ben and I went out for a couple hours to celebrate the 13th anniversary of our friends Tracey and Troy.  What a fun evening! Thanks Sydney:)

  1. Ben shared this recipe with us years ago during Mat's shortlived "Monday Recipe" fiasco (it died around the same time Owen discontinued his "Friday Humor" series due to someone getting axed from his job). We still make this dish to this day in our regular rotation, though we've played with the veggies a bit.

  2. What other veggies to you add Amy?

  3. Sorry, just saw this. Sometimes mushrooms or broccoli, especially if we have them on hand and decide to use the recipe as a repository for leftovers. Also if we need to stretch it we'll throw in a can of asian veggies (mix of baby corns, sprouts, etc). I'm definitely a plan of the pure form, but we will mess around with it for a little variation. The peppers and peanuts, however, are always a must!
