One of my roommates and I went to the National Book Festival two weekends ago. It was a lot of fun, and even though we didn’t get any books signed or meet any authors, we did meet literary figures. Like Clifford and Miss Frizzle.
Not to mention go on the Magic School Bus. It was AWESOME.
Tonight, I made my first home-cooked meal in my apartment. Since I’ve been missing my mom’s home-cooked Chinese food, I decided to go with one of my favorite dishes of hers: chicken and broccoli stir fry. It’s incredibly simple to make, but it tastes really, really good.
I’m happy to report that my dinner was a success (the stir fry was served with a side of steamed white rice). However, it still didn’t taste as good as my mom’s. I guess nothing will ever beat my mom’s cooking – not even my own!
