I know, I know. All the laundry commercials are geared to women. They show pictures of people cavorting in florid meadows, little girls in flowing white dresses and little boys in gleaming white overalls. Everyone is wearing white, in fact. Apparently laundry is for women whose children have all white clothing and who have a family tradition of gallivanting in a field. Oh, that and the fact that only Mama, apparently has the magic of Clorox.

I don't know about you but in my experience Dads do a TON of laundry. In many families, that seems to be one of the chores Dad has specialized in. I certainly do cubic yards of it every week. I don't know what the stats are, but I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that detergent advertisers are missing some decision makers. Are Dads seduced by people frolicking in a grassy knoll? Dunno, it could be kind of appealing.

Sweet-N-Sour-Chicken-main

Sweet -N- Sour Sauce:
1/2 cup white or rice vinegar  
4 tablespoons of ketchup
4 tablespoons of honey
2 teaspoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1 teaspoons cornstarch diluted in 2 teaspoons water


Bring to a boil in a small pot, reduce heat and simmer for a couple minutes. Remove from heat, let it cool off and cover.

Sweet-N-Sour-Collage


Frozen Chicken Nuggets
Preheat frying pan to medium high heat, add one teaspoon of cooking oil,
then put Frozen Chicken Nuggets (12-16 pieces) in the pan, cover and reduce heat to medium-low. Let the nuggets cook while you chop the vegetables.
Once the chicken nuggets are cooked on one side, flip 'em over and cover again with lid until completely cooked.

Vegetables:
1  carrot
1  onion
3  green peppers
1  yellow pepper
1  sweet red pepper
1 small pineapple or 1 can of pineapple chunks (drained)

Chop vegetables to bite-size pieces and chunks, place into a bowl, and cover.

By this time the chicken nuggets should be finished. Transfer the nuggets to a metal pan or bowl.

Add another teaspoon of oil to the pan, adjust heat to high, add the vegetables and *cover with lid. Reduce heat sightly.

Remove the lid every couple minutes stirring and mixing the items. The veggies should cook in about five minutes or so. Keep an eye on them so they don't get over-cooked and mushy.

Lower heat, transfer the chicken nuggets back into the pan, add sauce, stir gently and thoroughly.

Best served over white rice. If you are not skilled in cooking rice, go with Minute Rice or whatever is easiest to deal with.

Crush some *soy sauce flavored snack noodles over the dish is adds makes it way-more-better but is not required, c
Feeds three or  four people.

Don't forget to always wash your hands, and keep a clean towel or two in the kitchen to keep everything clean and friendly.

*Using a lid with allow the food to cook rather quickly without using much oil.

*Get the Soy Sauce Flavored Snack Noodles at an asian grocery store or  supermarkets that have a good selection of world foods.
