Send the Kung Pow recipe please.

Ingredients
Marinade:
1 tablespoon rice wine
1 tablespoon peanut oil
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon cornstarch
8 ounces boneless, skinless chicken breast, thinly sliced
Directions
In a non-reactive bowl, prepare the marinade. Combine the rice wine, peanut oil, soy sauce, salt and cornstarch. Stir in the chicken pieces and refrigerate for 20 to 30 minutes.

Sauce:

3 tablespoons light soy sauce

2 tablespoons rice wine

3 tablespoons rice vinegar

2 tablespoons sugar

2 tablespoons hoisin sauce

2 tablespoons peanut oil

4 dried red chiles remove stems and cut in halves

1/2-inch piece ginger, peeled, thinly sliced, smashed

1 garlic, smashed

1 green onion, cut the white part into 1/2 -inch pieces, julienne the green parts

1/4 cup peanuts

2 tablespoons chicken stock plus 1 tablespoon cornstarch, mixed together to make slurry

In a small bowl, combine the ingredients for the sauce. Set aside.

Over high heat, in a wok, bring the peanut oil to almost smoking temperature. Stir-fry the chilies, ginger, garlic and white part of the green onions for 30 to 40 seconds, or until the chilies turn dark. Add the chicken and stir-fry for 1 to 2 minutes, until golden in color.

Add the sauce and bring to a boil. Add the peanuts. Thicken with the slurry and continue to cook until glossy. Transfer to a serving plate and garnish with julienne green onions.

Now I have that all in my pantry, but if you wanna use a bottled sauce... Sun-Bird makes one that's good.

I serve it with rice and steamed broccoli, toss the rice in a bowl, then the broccoli, top with chicken & sauce. You could also wok the broccoli in once the chicken has turned golden. Frozen broccoli is fine.
 
oops didn't see the multiple question marks LOL sorry
Meatloaf:
1.5 pounds hamburger - 93% lean works best for me
1 small onion and 6 or so mushrooms chopped and sauteed in a lil butter
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
4-5 slices of bread - what ever brand or kind is your pleasure.
3 eggs
a splash of milk
salt and pepper to taste
Squish all of it together with your hands, not a spoon! LOL
9x9 or 9x13 baking dish sprayed with Pam and bake at 375 for about 40-50 minutes.
Top with ketchup or BBQ sauce and bake 5 minutes more.
YUM YUM

Chicken and dumplings:
1 pound chicken breast cut into 1" squares, fried in a non-stick pan, no oil.
set aside

In a large non-stick pot:
2 cans of cream of chicken soup 3 cans of milk
bring to a bubble NOT BOIL...
as the mixture making it's way to bubbling, cut up 2 cans of those "whop" biskets.
Take each bisket and cut it into 4ths. drop pieces into the soup/milk mixture and carefully stir until they are cooked through. add chicken pieces.
salt and pepper to taste.
MMMM one of my husband's favorites.

Maybe this is the time to mention I grew up in chinatown, no i'm not asian, just eat that way.

i don't even know what a dumpling is. sweet cornbread? I know what meatloaf is but....?

I make dumplings by dropping dollops of batter into boiling broth to make a boiled-buicuit-type thing. I'll find a recipe. They are yummy.

Meatloaf is easy. ground meat (chicken, turkey, beef, whatever) mash in eggs, breadcrumbs, maybe some Italian seasonings, garlic. mash it all together then press it into a loaf pan. Cook about 300 for maybe an hour depending on the size of the pan and how full you fill it. I season mine about the same as I do for meatballs and basically make meatball loaf

A co-worker just walked by and Said "Everyone wants to be me"

Um, No, I don't.

She is ALWAYS whining about something, she is pretty unhappy with her life all the time.

I, on the other hand, am pretty happy all the time, I like where my life is at and where it's headed (I'm not always sure where that is, but life's an adventure)

Now back to your regularly scheduled programming.

Secret Squirrel!

Better watch out, Boyd probably has a recipe for that....

He does, he also has one for racoon, opossum and groundhog...

I know because he sent me the same book for a solstice gift.
 
And I thought I could trust you to not do something utterly awesome without me! Recipes? secret codes? brains? squirrels? all classify as utterly awesome, or at least cute and fuzzy.
A good recipe for pork, chicken, beef, squirrel, or brains is get some teriyaki sauce (high quality, in some costcos in some places) or carne asada sauce, and steep the meat for 24-36 hours. ITS AWESOME!
You keep nasty chips, as my avatar would say.
