Tonight: General Tso's Chicken

Who the hell was General Tso, anyway?
I have no idea.
But we're eatin' his chicken tonight.
No, not from scratch.
Bought it at Sam's today.
Looked good.
Bit of a splurge for Miz t. and me.
10 bucks, but we'll probably get 2 meals each out of it.
Cook up some rice to go with...cheap.

He's got nothing to do with the chicken, though it was named for him.

Mostly AYCE buffets.
Quantity, not necessarily quality.

for my wife.

I seriously hope there's no polar bear in it.

I'd love to eat some sushi, but it's expensive and I've been nauseous for more than a month now
