Busy morning so far: I have had two dealings with Amazon Customer Service about a scamming email and fake order and lousy attempt to send the fake email to Amazon; while I was in the middle of that Doug Fullington called me; I called him back and we caught up on several projects. I am now ready for a nap.

A Chinese restaurant string bean dish sounds interesting!  I'll have to try a side order of that if I see it on a menu at some point when I'm ordering.

Thanks everyone.  I am feeling a bit better today after a good night of sleep.

My Cat Scan is scheduled for one week from today.

Don't tell The Cat.

I'm glad you are feeling a bit better.  Hopefully each day will be better.

One week isn't too long to wait.

TOD:  Will a vegetable egg roll count?

Or a mu shu dish of pancake with vegetables inside?

I'm assuming not.

Why not?

I thought maybe the "carbohydrate" aspect might exclude it from the TOD.

But of course, maybe on HHW anything that causes posts can count for the TOD, LOL.

TOD:

I can honestly say I don't have more than one favorite Chinese dish that is only vegetable, but  it IS delicious and it is tempura fried green beans.

I love Vietnamese-style spring rolls.

I love pot stickers.

And I love Thai dishes with peanut sauce.

I, too, had orange chicken for supper last e'en.  Served over rice.  I prepared it from frozen, but it was tasty.

It's nice to use HHW English usage in everyday life.  I was describing a body cam video where the lady in question had claimed to police that her shoulder had been fractured at 8:30 that morning.  But then, there she is on the police body cam around 10:30 (two hours later) waving her arms, almost doing calisthenics and pole dancing with a railing on the terrace. 

To lighten the tone of the email, I described the 10:30 video as  "Then Ms. P--- looks like she's practically doing the Lambada (The Forbidden Dance) with that railing."

We add tofu to most of our vegetarian dishes.  When it is on the menu we will order broccoli with bean curd (tofu).
