Dinner for two

Since Richard and I have moved up here to Washington, I have been experimenting with cooking. I really enjoy cooking and baking and I always like to find new recipes to try. Well my latest experiment was to try and replicate the 'Sesame Chicken' from the Chinese restaurant, Golden Wok, in Scottsdale, AZ (one of me and Richard's favorites... we go back every time we visit). It wasn't exactly the same, but I think I did a pretty good job.


If you ever watch the Food Network, one of my favorite cooking shows is Barefoot Contessa. I'm a really picky eater and she just seems to make the kind of food I like. The other day she made a Sour Cream Coffee Cake. I thought it looked so good and I had to try it (you can find the recipe on her website). It turned out great and we had it for dessert with our Sesame Chicken : ) The good (and bad) thing is that since it's just me and Richard, we always have food left over!
