Cooking & Baking

The chicken won't be done for awhile. My daughters had kung pao brussels sprouts the other day, and I thought I'd try making those for myself. I used frozen sprouts. I thawed them slightly so I could cut them in half. Salt and pepper, roasted them in olive oil at 425, and tossed in a few unsalted peanuts in just before the sprouts were ready. I have kung pao sauce and used that. I enjoyed them.

I had some ice cream earlier. Almost every day I was away, someone mentioned ice cream. We were about 20 miles from town. Between distance and timing, didn't get ice cream. I haven't bought any for months, and got some today. Yum!
