It seems we were both playing squash for the wrong reasons. Sorry to hear about your knees. I take glucosamine for mine! xx

Loving your simple Chinese recipes!

I remember taking a family trip to Coffs Harbour back in 2003 with another family. Thankfully, we enjoyed great weather though my squash skills to this day is questionable… heh.

Haha, I played loads of squash at school when I was younger. It was one of the few places I could go at break times to be “safe” from the school bullies. Every break time for several years, on my growing knees… well, know my knees are pretty much screwed over for life and hurt every winter… sigh… such is life!

You and your family have some amazing stories…and apparently some are of survival! 🙂 What a big disappointment, and your parents must have been at their wits end holding you all together. Who would have predicted that so many years later you’d be sharing this story with all of us! Your near-catastrophes are great stories for the telling now! And another wonderful recipe. You have given me a whole new outlook on asian cooking…I love the cuisine, but haven’t cooked it at home until I started seeing your step by steps! Delicious!

That sounds like a family vacation that movies are made of! 7 people in one car! Eek! I would have gone nuts. Definitely will be trying this chicken soon. Mr. N will love it!

Kids just don’t know how good they’ve got it. I remember going on long drives with cars with no air conditioning and being squashed for hours on end and no radio or tape deck or i-pod or i-phone or i-pad or inbuilt dvd player etc. Sounds like we had similar no-luxury childhoods! xx

Thanks so much Maureen. It’s actually quite simple to do, but the tricky part is cutting the chicken Chinese style. Absolutely no clue what I was doing despite some great photos and instructions in the cookbook xx

That’s so funny John. Maybe they did. My father spent some time in the USA when he finished school. Perhaps that’s where he learned that ‘never be overtaken’ rule! And if you can get Kylie’s book I’d really recommend it. She really does show Westerners how they too can cook Chinese (and make it taste good!) xx
