• Salmonella

  Today I made Orange Chicken Stir Fry!  Yum!  Here it is:

  

  It was way yummy and I even have some leftover for lunch tomorrow.  That is, if I'm still feeling okay.  I marinated the chicken in the sauce - ginger, orange peel, orange juice, ginger, sherry, soy sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch - then cooked the chicken and added the vegetables.  Well, I then added the sauce but forgot that I had the chicken in it and now I don't know if I cooked it for long enough after.  Eek!  So I ate it all not thinking about it until now.  I got kind of worried so I looked up salmonella and saw that it wouldn't show up until about 8 hours after the food is ingested.  Oh boy.  Me being the smart one I am figure that maybe I can kill the bacteria now by drinking some alcohol.  So now I'm chillin here drinking a Newcastle by myself watching "The Colbert Report" and waiting for "Lost" to come on.  Isn't this really good logic?!?!  Jon Serv. actually suggested having a shot of Dani's very fine four-month-old plastic $5.99 bottle of Volshmidt vodka - yeah, the one that tastes like lamp fuel, according to Jon.  By the way, our prospective party was one sweet party!  Our neighbors are absolutely "hilarious" (euphemism for completely insane in the membrane).  I'm feeling okay for the time being, so my conclusion is that Newcastle is effective in fighting salmonella bacteria.

  *Yes, I'm reading this book about the wonderful game of Scrabble.  I started reading it at B&N and I was instantly hooked so I bought it!
