in order to gain new experiences, test my limits and break up life's general monotony, i've decided to do one new thing per day.

look ma! no boxes!
Recently, I've been accused of being a box-dinner person. I can acknowledge that I resort to box dinners a lot because they're quicker and easier but it still struck a nerve because deep down, I do like cooking. So tonight, I made dinner from scratch. It was Orange Chicken Stir-Fry. No pre-made mix or anything. I used veggie chicken cutlets because I wasn't going to harvest my own wheat, glutenize it and then wait for it to form into little chicken-like bits by 6pm. But it came in a bag not a box so there. Also, the recipe called for orange juice and lemon juice but did I go buy juice? No. I fracking squeezed an orange and a lemon to get what I needed. Yeah, that's right! Box this!
Here the recipe. It turned out fabulous (if you double the sauce, quadruple the orange and watch the starch) http://vegweb.com/index.php?topic=15978.0
