Not so General Tsao’s Chicken
This dinner was a disaster from the start. I had a meeting on the night the dinner was to be cooked so I left instructions to follow the recipe on allrecipes.com for General Tsao’s Chicken. Well my better (cough, cough) half could not find the recipe so they cooked the chicken for me in…

Grilled Cheese Sandwiches
Tonight’s dinner was a simple grilled cheese sandwich made with cheddar, Swiss and mozzarella cheese. I am teaching my daughter how to make the perfect grilled cheese sandwich.
