I’ve been sick since Friday. Not sick like I was last spring where I had to go to the hospital, but sick. I had a headache so bad I nearly passed out in the shower Friday morning, a fever maxing out at 102 degrees, and my body hurt like I just worked out for hours.
Luckily, I’m on the mend, and my appetite came back yesterday and I indulged in some pizza. Tonight all I wanted was Chinese food, so that’s what we got!
steamed spiced pork dumplings (my favorite!)
Chicken chow mein cantonese with…
pan-fried noodles instead of rice!
We always had chicken chow mein cantonese growing up, and its a total comfort food for me… which is what I needed! I’m resting up tonight as I’m planning on heading back to work tomorrow. Too bad I have too many cooties to go visit my favorite little peapod!!
Baby Quin, Halloween 2009
Could he be any cuter?!
Here’s hoping I’m up to cooking tomorrow!!

Who’s baby is that? He is ADORABLE! I bet he has some pretty good looking parents…well at least a good looking mommy!
It should read “whose” not “who’s”…It’s a good thing I’m not a teacher!
ohhh my goodnesss he is just SO CUTE.
I hope you get better soon though
Many people here are experiencing those high temps and bad bad headaches 
Sorry you are sick
It seems like everyone is sick right now. I guess it is just the time of year.
I’ve never have chow mein “cantonese” but I have had regular chow mein. It’s good stuff!

I love pan fried noodles. I like to mix them with brown rice when I get take out. It is especially good with Kung Poa beef or chicken. Sometimes they charge a little extra, but them I always have some leftovers!
feel better soon dear!
chinese food seems the comforting food!

Oh, this wasn’t blah, which is surprising because when I’ve had a 102 fever I’ve been asleep, not blogging or tweeting! That Chinese food looks very good, which reminds me it’s been forever since I’ve had Chinese!

OMG Baby Quin is so cute! Random fact: My little brother was actually names Quinn for two days and then my parents changed it to Alex.
Cantonese food is comfort food to me, too!
Hope you are feeling better Mara!

I hope you’re feeling better today! I just wanted to say that I’ve been battling a Chinese food craving for a couple of weeks (being the child of New York Jews, it’s in the blood, you know!) and I was doing just fine not giving in…until I read this post and saw your photos. Now…a trip to the takeout place is going to happen as soon as possible. Thanks, I hope you’re happy
