Fresh Wok is the best. BEST Chinese take out. 46th and Nicollet in Minneapolis. Call them. Eat their food. No MSG's make all the difference. Last night was Chinese food night at the casa, so I ordered up a plate of the "usual" (Steamed Chicken and mixed veggies) while the fiancee' ordered the ole' standby of Sweet and Sour Chicken. It was heaven. And it beats paying the same price for smaller (tiny) portions at Chin's.
Cooking Chinese food at home just escapes me. The best dish I can usually throw together is brown rice, chicken, broccoli, pea pods, and some water chesnuts. Toss 'er all in a Wok with some Lawry's Teriyaki Marinade and there you go.
Anybody care to share an easy recipe or your favorite Chinese Take out and why? ( Not sit down, either. I'm talking FAST.) We're a chicken and fish home. So whatever you got.
Before passing out in blissful oblivion last night, Jule's stopped on that Bravo's "Next Male Model" show. I made the "ugh, change it" comment but she stayed on the show. So I slept. A Jealous, Sweaty, Stuffed-full-of-Chinese slumber. From what I could hear before drifting off, the dudes are continually asked to strip to their underpants by Carmen Electra. Ladies, The show is on Tuesday nights at 11pm on Bravo. Fella's, you can find me adding another 200 + crunches to my routine. Frickin' underpants models. Mimbo's.
House news: The mucky muck owners of the house Julio and I bid on came back with a counter counter offer. We could technically come back with a counter counter counter offer....or just chuck it and keep paying our astronomical rent.
I promise to try and keep future blogs shorter. Initial blog excitement and all.

Just gimmme the Chinese Buffet.... I go to town and join you in the belt let out notch chubby tummy phase. Who's coming with me?!?!?!?!?!?!
Curry Chicken at Lotus to Go-Go in Loring Park.
Chicken generally dislikes me, but this stuff is worth it.
*drool*
Much agreed to both of you. Chinese buffet's are the bane of my dieting existence. (Although my favorite, "The Tea House", was recently closed due after a health inspection. Eeyyeeew.)
Is Lotus to go-go a spin off of the actual Lotus restaurant? (Which I love)
And of course, I forget to mention Japanese- Ichiban or Benihana-jo-mamma. I could demolish sushi for days. (Just not as "after bar close" food. But that, is a story for another day...)
HEEEEE WHOA HIIII-YA!
I cry foul, FOUL G7. Beef and potatoes.. PO-TAY-TOE's? (As Samwise sez.) Indeed. Sounds suspiciously like an Iiiiiiirish dish... : )
I do like fat Cream Puffs though. You know the kind where they look like an entire tub of cream cheese was used? Yeah. I'm usually digging through the take out bag before I even get home. I'm bad. Real bad....
Good Chinese can be found at Skyway Wok - in City Crossings right next to the temporary library. Kick-ASS green beans.
I tend to stick to the Japanese, though, now that Zen Box has opened up in 6 Quebec. Mmm, onigiri....
