Chinese Food

I did it! we had company tonight & evryone wanted chinese food & I've been wanting it so I decided to try it. I got the sesame chicken combo like I did pre op & a 5 pb crab rangoon (basically crab & creamcheese inside a fried wonton. I only are 1 pc of the little chicken nuggets & 2 rangoon - perfecto! I was too scared to try the rice though. Maybe someday. Bonus... I have enough leftovers for 10 dinners...anyone know if takeout freezes well?

Whoohoo! I love Chinese food... I can never have my fav...General Tso's...ever again unless the recipe is seriously revamped (too much sugar in the sauce!). But I HAVE tried some take out chicken and sweet peas in this alfredo sauce (forget what it was called) and it went down fine. I was scared, though. It tasted sweet, ya know? I only ate a couple bites and finished it as leftovers over the course of a couple days. I have tried rice in those frozen Lean Cuisine type meals...it took me quite a while to eat it and as a matter of fact, I couldn't fini**** But the rice stayed down well. I was kinda apprehensive about it (esp after talking with Clint!) but I was trying to break out of this rut of always eating the same thing because it was 'safe'. Plus, it was 14 grms of protein for this little thing. So...I tried it...and it worked. Good job with the sesame chicken, Kath! And although it was probably a rhetorical question...yeah, I believe it freezes well! (((hugs))) -Karen

Hey Karen - you know the General Tso and the Sesame chicken is kinda similar except the Tso's does not have sesame seeds & it is even hotter. I bet you could probably have 1 or 2 of the chicken nugget pieces becasue although the sauce does have sugar in it...you really are eating a minimal amount in the 1 piece if you think about it. You are no longer eating all the sauce that pools at the bottom of the chicken, not mixing it will all the rice..etc. LOL - I am not trying to pu**** on you but I want you to know it is very possible you can still have the tiny amount of yoru favorite that your tummy can hold. Love ya babe!

I have had Hot Sour Soup several times ... and boy is it good!!! Haven't tried anything else yet ... you can call me CHICKEN!!! *grin* Chinese food is one of my favorites pre-op!!! Doesn't bother me too much except when hubby gets take out and then I can't sit at the table. *sniff*sniff* I might get brave one day though. Especially after reading this thread!!!
