Apart from subbing shrimp for the chicken, and frozen peas for the snow peas, this was made according to recipe and was delicious! Very easy to prepare, as with many asian dishes, its all in the preparation, and then the cooking goes quickly. Lots of flavour and a wonderful coating sauce, we loved this and I will make it again. Thanks Kitty!

<p>We may live without conscience and live without heart;</p>
<p>We may live without friends; we may live without books,</p>
<p>But civilized man cannot live without cooks.</p>

<p>He may live without books -- what is knowledge but grieving?</p>
<p>He may live without hope-- what is hope but deceiving?</p>
<p>He may live without love -- what is passion but pining?</p>
<p>But where is the man that can live without dining?</p>

I've been tracing my roots for at least 10 years. One branch came to America just after the Mayflower in the early 1600s. Others came in the early 1700s, late 1890s. So, my American roots run pretty deep and I am deeply patriotic. Just wish someone had thought to same me some land!</p>
