  1. I bet Rich would love this. The sauce sounds good, I'll have to eat it with rice, veggies & tofu instead of chicken.

  2. We had this for dinner last night. It was delicious! I don't usually love sweet and sour dishes, but thought I would give this a try. I think it was a little more sweet than sour, which is why I liked it! :)

  3. Hi Emily, I'm making a huge recipe of this for Olivia's 9th birthday party, a big luau. Wish me luck (and I'm also having cheap pizzas for the kids as their tastes probably aren't to the point where they would appreciate this fine cuisine!

    Love, Martha
