Noodles...

I am not a pasta fan... I don't know why... just too heavy and starchy...

I do however love chow mien... greasy, salty, full of vegetables... oh my mouth is watering just thinking about it... I made this batch with bok choy, sprouts, cabbage, carrots, zucchini, serrano peppers and lots of soy sauce...

I chopped up the vegetables and threw them violently onto the grill with a pound of chicken and shrimp and a couple scrambled eggs...

After drowning the entire pile in a bottle of soy sauce and tons of oil I got the shine and taste I was craving... I tossed it all together with some noodle and rounded out the plate with little frozen egg rolls... A true Asian delight...

Reflections of Thankfulness...

My family loves me... and I sure love them... this year for Thanksgiving Mom and Jim came out and I had a lovely time with them... We went all over town shopping, cooking, eating out, watching movies, visiting Grandma and Grandpa Bowman's grave site... it was truly a meaningful time as they both age into their golden years... Thanksgiving was amazing... Lisa was really nice to me, the food came out perfect (except the slightly dry fried turkey)... I have so much to be thankful for... when I am sad, overwhelmed at work, or just plain mad at the word I should reflect on the beautiful family the Lord has blessed me with... I really should...

Dinner was topped off with Paulie proposing to Shel, baby in arms... it was a perfect day...

Gosh I love my Pop and sister... they mean the world to me... I would be lost without these two...

Quesadilla...

I was dreaming of a nice chicken quesadilla so I made this one packed with good stuff...

I chopped up a ton of bell peppers, tomatoes and onions, nice and chunky. I grilled them on the flat top in a ton of butter until they were sweet and tender...

Meanwhile I had two nice chicken breasts frying up to a golden brown... Those I shredded into small pieces...

When all the ingredients were done I threw them together on the grill for a nice melting...

Talk about savory! The sweet peppers with the juicy chicken and spicy salsa... ohh so good...
