chinese spaghetti
When Leif was told he was leaving for Iraq, we had a 6 day notice. It was a whirl wind and he was gone. 4 days after he left it was valentines day. I did everything I could to avoid the fact that it was valentines day until I walked into Broulims and everything was red and pink. It was depressing. The best part of the day that I will never forget, was my neighbor invited my family and I to dinner. She gave up dinner with her husband or a nice little meal with her children so she could include me and my 3 children. Dinner was so yummy that we have used that recipe many many times. In fact it has become one of our favorite meals. Prudence Pennywise (click here) is one of my favorite web sites. In this meal there is Orange chicken, what our family has started calling Chinese Spaghetti, and yummy broccoli. The sauce on this is a little strong so we just add 2x as much broccoli and it is all good. Thanks To my friend and her family for a day that really meant a lot to me.
