Cooking Chinese style

Taylor has a NEED for Chinese food. She doesn't just want it she needs it, craves it. It seems to be really important to her that we like Chinese food too. It's like, by liking her food, we like all things China. It is hard to explain unless you hear her talk about it but as a family who never ate Chinese food before Taylor came into our life we have taken the food as our own and try to eat something Asian a couple times a week. But take out is expensive and sooo the mom who doesn't much like to cook actually bought a Chinese cookbook and Taylor and I are cooking together. Its lots of fun, easy really and she is so appreciative it makes me humble. Again acceptance of her food is just something that's a big deal to her.
Last night we made spicy cashew chicken. I need a wok, we did all this in a regular old frying pan, but this weekend we're getting ourselves a wok so we can do this thing up right!
By Chinese New Year we'll be ready to cook up a feast!
