HOLY CRAP CHINESE FOOD

[highlyeccentric]

So I undertook to make my mother's lemon chicken recipe, which, holy glod, is the best food in the universe. IT TOOK BLOODY WELL FOREVER, and also trashed the kitchen in the process. And that was with K doing the fried-rice side of things.

I had forgotten the part where chinese food turns your kitchen into a COMPLETE WRECK. There's a *reason* mum rarely cooks this particular dish - she considers it unfair to make dad clean up after it.

But it was delicious.

I ate it too fast and am now full of noms and indigestion at once.
