Hokai, sometimes when you try hard enough in life, you will eventually succeed. Today's cooking session is one such day. I believed, in all seriousness, today's dinner is a success. But of cos, it's not the pinnacle yet (because the stupid eggy cried too much that it can't get cozy with the rice cooker and end up with the 200 dollars wok instead). I'm being hiammie but i'm sure the bean sprout could do with more flavor.
The chicky lemon is the main actor for the day, with crispy chicken and an almost yummy lemon sauce to go with it. However, the sauce could do with more zest in it!
But .... actually, today is also a good day because damsie washed the dishy instead of puddy bullying me to wash 'em.
Who washed the dishy? damsel! thks!
