Chinese Food – one of those things that I get random cravings for and really enjoy, but Rich is not a big fan of! I actually hardly ever do Chinese Take-Out anymore because I am trying to eat healthier and because it is not something my personal eater really craves.
When we do order Chinese Food and I have no idea what to get, I ofter seem to want General Tso’s/Tsao’s Chicken. Rich always goes for some Egg Rolls. Another favorite of mine are those Boneless Spare Ribs, so bad for you but oh so good at the same time! Since I have such a “thing” for General Tso’s Chicken; I was so happy when I opened my give-away box from Thai Kitchen & Simply Asia and found one of their General Tsao Stir Fry Sauces to be able to make my own version at home!

Valentines Day is a day for sharing your love with others. Historically, the origins of Valentines Day is not known with 100% certainty, but most likely it is because of a guy named Valentine who fought for love! There are two common stories: either he was a priest who wanted young soldiers to be able to be married OR he was sentenced to death and wrote a letter to a girl signed “from your Valentine”. (read more at the History Channel) Either way – Valentines Day got its start and in the mid 1800’s a woman began selling the first commercially made Valentines Cards and from there Hallmark has taken over & we have to celebrate Valentines Day!
One of the most common ways (in the United States) to celebrate Valentines Day is with Chocolates & Jewelry & Flowers & Pampering. Many couples feel extreme pressure to make a big deal about Valentines Day. I personally would rather Rich show me his love the other 364 Days and not just on Valentines Day, but pampering on random days throughout the whole year is nice!
