mu shu madness

Ok. I'll admit it. I subscribe to the Rachael Ray magazine. It's got great recipes in it! Yes, most of them have ridiculous names like "Mean Green Chicken Tortilla Stoup." But they're still good. Until this latest issue. The Holiday Issue. It has recipes labeled "Guilty" and "Not Guilty." My sister made one of the "guilty" ones on Monday night. It was meat loaves with smashed potatoes. It was delicious. Then last night, she made one of the "not guilty" ones. Mu Shu Chicken Patties with Seared Napa Cabbage. They looked really good in the picture and had lots of good things in them. Then we started frying them in the hot oil and the smoke permeated our kitchen and the rest of the house. We seared the cabbage and we were ready to eat!! After the first bite - the "Not Guilty" recipes were deemed "Not Good." The patties were way too salty and the cabbage was disgusting. And now we still have four patties left. And our house still smells like mu shu chicken patties. Gross.

Tomorrow is Friday and that means two things. One, I get to sleep in on Saturday. Two, it means I have a boatload of homework to finish before Monday. Wahoo!
