My favorite Chinese place, Chop Suey Inn. Been going there for almost 50 years. Bestest of the bestest.
Love love their egg fu yung Theirs had chicken in it with the sauce, and I had one egg roll as well.
Usually they are so packed, but I got there with very little wait.
Anyone up to sharing your Saturday delight?

Please beat up my kitchen layout
Comments (43)celticmoon, I agree this thread is too wordy and hard to follow. so am i....hee hee. I'm thinking of pulling together all the input into a new, shorter thread, that has fewer variables running all over the place. the warning about 30" for the washer and/or dryer is well taken. To answer your question about the current kitchen, try looking at my second post on this thread (the one with the larger diagrams). The island one shows a faint dotted line running from one dark corner, through the island, and connecting to the other dark corner. That is the current kitchen exterior wall. It is L-shaped, about 50 years old, and smells of mouse and cigarettes when the weather gets warm. I'll miss it so... Hey mom2lilenj--love to read you over on the old house forum. I hear what you're saying about swapping the mudroom and laundry, but I saw so much potential in that long narrow 4x8 space for stashing picnic baskets, kites, beach bags, binoculars, and all the other stuff I'd love not to go down to the basement for--so I guess it's more of a mudroom on steriods. A more visible mudroom I'd limit to umbrellas, bookbags, boots, and hat/glove drawers. Hmmmm. Maybe I could have the laundry stacked at the end of that oblong, and still have my storage for frequently used outing items in the same space, and have a tame mudroom are where the washer/dryer is in bmore's diagram? It's a good suggestion. Thanks! Claybabe, and bmore, thanks for the latest! Very different from what's come before; I feel like we're stretching the possibilities and that's what I was hoping for. Question claybabe: you said "but you could just close up the laundry part without the wall"--I understand everything else you said but that; could you clarify?...See MoreSchool lunches vs lunches made at home?
Comments (30)Our school lunches are $2.65. The lunches here seem decent. They offer 3 main meals each day. Everyday there is also a choice of Yogurt, Hummus or PB&J sandwich. With the above you get a choice of fruit, veggie or starch. There is also a salad bar option. I have checked the lunch menus all year and was THRILLED to see NO FRENCH FRIES EVER. I think that's great! Although there is pizza every Friday, but the portions are small and kid appropiate. We also have a credit system, where I place money on her account. Kids don't handle money at all if they don't want to. I can also get an itemized list of what she has bought. My DD brings her lunch 95% of the time. Once a month they serve "Breakfast for Lunch" (Pancakes, turkey sausage & milk) which she absolutely loves. But I am very happy to pack her lunch since I know it's healthy and foods she enjoys and will eat. Normal day she gets turkey, carrot sticks, fruit (like apple slices, grapes) and popcorn. Kids are not allowed to "trade" or bring Candy for the snack, but I'm sure it goes on. My DD is picky, so she would not eat a school lunch each day-heaven forbid the sauce touch the pasta!! LOL My issue is that kids may take the veggie or fruit option but not eat it. Or just choose the starches and ala carte "junkier" items. I think our school system does the best they can with foods most kids like (Baked chicken tenders instead of fried) Most of the breads are Whole grains each day etc. Nice selection of fresh fruits. When I was in school the lunches were so/so. I knew my mom's fresh food was better then the mass produced, waiting under a heat lamp school lunch. I normally brought my lunch as it was MUCH quicker too. But you could have spent your "lunch" money on a meal of Twinkies and chips! I could strangle the 15 year old me, for all the junk I ate and NEVER thought twice about!!!

Comments (36)don_socal, good reminder. I had a neti pot, then this sinus rinse was recommended to me. I use it all the time, I think it works better than the neti pot, just my opinion :) I was also told by my allergist to use distilled water and to make sure I use the salt packets made for the neti pot/sinus rinse bottle. Regular salt is too strong for the delicate nasal passages and can leave a residue. http://www.target.com/p/neilmed-pharmaceuticals-original-sinus-rinse-kit-packets-50-count/-/A-13342400?ci_src=17588969&ci_sku=13342400&ref=tgt_adv_XS000000&AFID=google_pla_df&CPNG=PLA_Health%2BBeauty%2BShopping&adgroup=SC_Health%2BBeauty&LID=700000001170770pgs&network=g&device=c&location=1024622&gclid=Cj0KEQiAyvqyBRChq_iG38PgvLgBEiQAJbasd4uVPqNMlqDBS-QJyKV4Dl8xeb5kRg0usZP4kvQEFhYaAsfB8P8HAQ&gclsrc=aw.ds And when the forehead, face, cheeks, ears, temples, neck etc. really ache this thing is like magic. Zapped in the microwave for about 2 minutes and wrapped around neck/across forehead and eyes, it's damn near a miracle the relief it gives. http://www.kohls.com/product/prd-235892/earth-therapeutics-anti-stress-comfort-wrap.jsp?ci_mcc=ci&utm_campaign=BATH%20%26%20BODY&utm_medium=CSE&utm_source=google&utm_product=12226038&CID=shopping15&ci_src=17588969&ci_sku=12226038&gclid=Cj0KEQiAyvqyBRChq_iG38PgvLgBEiQAJbasdybQr8r5U03APaBzDWo1Nkcp9OafrVPm7W2K07g3NUIaAmBH8P8HAQ&gclsrc=aw.ds&dclid=CKLSrPOevckCFctANwodZ2ANwA...See MoreDD Needs Vegan Menu For Breakfast Lunch Dinner
Comments (62)That looks good! He probably should have given his product packaging. Some commenters had trouble with a very wet mix. I'm guessing those looking for exact recipes are not necessarily intuitive cooks. And lots of steps involved. But the trifecta is a win-win. This fella seems really good at what he does and seems healthy, HERE ,He does all the replacements that is a bit of a yawn for me. But I always learn something and he does use lots of spices instead of the usual salt lick soy sauce soaks in the packaged stuff. We don't have any close friends vegan or vegetarian, just some family members, so I'm not much help. Great vegan restaurants here but I order soup and salads and veggie 2 bite balls to share. Can't commit to a big burger. Most of our larger gatherings with secondary friends, or a friend will bring a guest, I make so many vegan choices in salads I don't play with the meat replacements. So this is an environmental issue and not a 'lets make some vegan kids' ? . The vegan kids at work just out of college are so unhealthy eating the packaged junk not having much cooking experience. Is she set and limited to the one supplier? Maybe a few products grown somewhat locally, PNWest...a good educational lesson?. I buy from Palouse,WA. Garbanzos and red winter wheat once a year. 5 pounds of each. Good slicers, dicer, shredders, juicer, blender? No way can they use mandolines like high end trained restaurant staff. And slow. My cuisinart discontinued back in the 80's has a side shoot. No need to empty the container as it just keeps going into a bowl....See More
