I don't know how many people actually try the recipes they pin from Pinterest, but I like to try one every once in a while (poor Ethan, if it was just me I would live off of yogurt and Grapenuts and celery with peanut butter). But alas, it's like he needs to have real meals.
Both of us love Panda Express. We both get its chow mein with orange chicken. I found a recipe on Pinterest that everyone claimed tasted "just like Panda." I was up to try it! We went grocery shopping a couple weeks ago and got the stuff we would need. Last night I decided I was going to make it. I was so excited. I started cooking the chow mein noodles and while those were cooking, I started on the sauce. Once the noodles seemed done Ethan rinsed them off while I put the oil in the skillet to finished off the sauce and noodles together.
Ultimate fail. I took one taste and I threw the stuff away. It was awful! Either these people had never had Panda's chow mein or they were on something strong! It tasted like soy sauce and ginger. Disgusting. Luckily, I was doing a sweet and sour chicken that turned out decent so Ethan didn't starve. Never again will I attempt those so-called chow mein noodles again!
Haha, that's funny. I make recipes off Pinterest all the time. In fact, every time I make something new and good Mike asks me if I got it from there. Shoot. I have a board of "successful recipes" that I have tried myself. :)
