On Tuesday John did most of the chopping for our dinner of chicken lo mein. I was hurriedly packing for a trip to the East Coast to be with my dear friend whose husband had died a few days before. I have made this dish a couple of times lately and you can find the recipe in the related link below. The dinner was fine and we had enough for John to have a leftovers dinner while I was gone.

I got an email this morning with a picture and explanation of what John did with the leftovers for his dinner on Wednesday night. Here is what he said—

Recipe:

Warm leftover lo mein in a large frying pan.

Scramble and season two eggs.

Add to lo mein and stir over medium heat until cooked.

Serve and garnish with whatever crunch is around: 

sesame seeds, chopped peanuts, crispy chicken skin, french fried onions, scallions.

He says the dark bits are the fried up chicken skin. At least I know he is not starving while I am away. As for me I am helping to eat the casseroles that so many friends have brought over. I am certainly not starving either!
