My husband would fly to Florida for this 🙂
I bet he won’t have to . . . 😉
BTW: For those who want/need animal protein, serve bowls of shredded chicken, pork, or beef for diners to add with the peanuts.
Delightful! I’m taking notes from all you top chefs 🙂
I’m no chef . . . but I have bunch of recipes for delcious and healthy meals that we love to EAT!
If the dishes magically appeared on the table while I wrote . . . that would work for me. 😉
Oh YUM!!
Nancy, if you ever decide that you want or need a change of occupation, you could easily become a chef!!
Love this idea, in fact, I’m going to make it tonight!

Thanks, Andi! It’s a delish dish.
We thought about opening a small take out place. With freezers full of prepared meals for people to take home and reheat on nights when they don’t feel like cooking.
We also toyed with opening a B&B, but I’m not an early morning person and would NOT enjoy getting up at 3 am to fix biscuits for breakfast for hungry guests.
We seriously contemplated buying a sailboat and hosting lunch and dinner cruises, and sunset cocktail parties, on board for 15-20 passengers at a clip.
Who knows? Might still happen.
OK, I made this dish last night.
Absolutely smashing!!
I’m still an ‘animal protein’ eating girl so I made mine with chicken and washed it down with a nice semi-sweet white wine.
Scrumptious!!

We had it last night too! I also made lo mein (same veggies and noodles, different sauce).
Served this chilled (but spicy!) and the lo mein heated.
We rounded it out with egg rolls and . . . watermelon.
