Homemade Chinese food...

Tonight I tried a recipe that has been hanging out in my inbox for approximately a year. No joke. It's from Slender Kitchen and it's called Spicy Hoisin Chicken. 

Basically, it's cut up chicken breast, some hoisinsauce  (which of course I had), some fresh grated ginger (also which I had, you know you can keep it in the freezer till you need it? I pull it out frozen and grate it right into whatever I am making), some siriracha (also, I had) and a little oil (for cooking the chicken). Took like ten minutes to make, we ate it over brown rice (that part took a million hours, if I make it for just me next time I will eat it with quinoa instead of rice I think). Omg. So good. The kids liked it. Jeremy liked it. I liked it. I feel like I would have liked it a shade spicier but it was pretty damn good. Filling and tasty. I only took one picture and forgot to take a picture of it over rice. I did however take a pre-picture of our breakfast...

 

We are going to have a potato, onion, sausage quiche for breakfast. Here's the first stages of it.... 

I tasted the potatoes when they were finished and YES PLEASE. I'm very excited for the quiche as I basically made up the recipe. 

In other excitement, I just got Jeremy to watch Mad Men Episode 1 with me. I had forgotten HOW TERRIBLE EVERYONE IS AT FIRST. I mean, they end up all being terrible always but YOU GET USED TO IT. Omg it's sooooo good though. Elisabeth Moss. Sooooo young. Vincent Kartheiser (don't forget wife of Alexis Bledel (or your most favorite irritating millennial, Rory Gilmore). JOAN. OMG JOAN. Omg. 

At any rate, I can't wait to watch it all again. I was spellbound as was my 7 yo. More pix of quiche tomorrow, and if it's good I will tell you what I did.
