Thank goodness it is getting easier each day to wake up in the morning because of the weather.\u00a0 Every morning, out of habit, I still swear to my bed who has just lost its owner that I would come back later for 20 minutes of indulgent comfort.\u00a0 However, a quick glance at the blue sky through my kitchen windows with white airbrush-like jet lines is startling enough to perk me up.\u00a0 It’s funny, no matter what kind of weather it presents outside, I am convinced that it is perfect weather for a cup of hot coffee, looking outside every day.<\/p>\n

Let’s move on to food talk.\u00a0 Today was my big grocery shopping day of the week.\u00a0 Not that I do this once a week -I’m rather a daily shopper who finds herself wasting more money on unnecessary things if she tries to purchase for a week-long menu.- just it was a day that the store I have been a long-time customer had fresh vegetables, and I needed to buy a lot of other stuff in my “to-buy list”.<\/p>\n

The problem at times like this is that there are too many choices as to what to cook with a refrigerator full of stuff waiting to be presented beautifully.\u00a0 Should I make the Mexican Samosas that I was thinking of last night?\u00a0 What about the spinach recipe which I luckily came across while reading blogs?\u00a0 After thinking it over for several minutes in my head, I remembered the chicken stick recipe one of my girlfriends shared with me the other day.\u00a0 Cut chicken breast into strips and fry after coating -this part is her very her own creation- in croutons.\u00a0 That’s it!\u00a0 Sounds like a recipe my son is going to dive into!<\/p>\n

You must be wondering how chicken sticks turned out to be so popcorn-y like those.\u00a0 Right before starting to cook, I was flipping through “”Food and Wine” magazine which I started subscribing to as a part of school fund raising program a friend of my son’s is involved in.\u00a0 There I saw a super delicious looking chicken cooked Chinese style.\u00a0 There, chicken was cut like these and obviously, it must have stayed with me subconsciously.\u00a0 Oops!\u00a0 I was supposed to cut it into strips!\u00a0 Not small pieces!\u00a0 You can’t cry over already cut chicken.\u00a0 (Wish there was a way to patch them up though :))\u00a0 So this recipe came up by mending a mistake, and you know what?\u00a0 It’s so easy and I’m loving it!<\/p>\n
