I found and adapted a lovely recipe from epicurious called Thai Peanut Salad, just made mine a warm stir fry. I first had it with my friend Jane and decided to try it again. So one Saturday Rachel (my room mate) and I cleaned the house thoroughly and decided to eat supper together. I set the table...
And started to prepare the food. We put a pan on the stove to get warm, and chopped some veggies. About 5 minutes later I put the chicken in the pan and heard no sizzle... not a good sign. I took the pan off and turned the heat up to see if the element would get hot... Nothing.
You see, neither Rachel or I realized that if you put the oven on to self-clean you can't use the oven (obviously) OR the stove (not-so-obviously). so we were stuck with an stove that didn't work and a prepped stir fry to make...
After much thought and scheming we decided to use the grill and wrap the veggies in tin foil. Eureka! But, no tin foil to be found in our house... Neighbors? Charlie and Marlene: In Puerto Rico... Andy and Amie... Dinner at the school... Kevin and April: Not Home (forget where) Anne and Doug: vacation... Juanita: Too far. Main Hall: I went to the school's kitchen and stole (no - I got permission) some tin foil. we wrapped the veggies and grilled it all...
Luckily I had bought Vermicelli noodles to accompany the stir fry and not Rice.
We boiled water in out electric kettle and voila! Cooked Vermicelli.
The veggies turned out wonderfully...
And we sat down to a DELICIOUS meal:
The End.
