and what kind of exercises have you done during the past 3 weeks ?

I had a white colleague who claims to like Chinese food, so we go to a Chinese restaurant for lunch one day. He decided to try what we usually get instead of the "lunch line" stuff we kept on making fun of. He hated it and refused to ever go back. I guess he'll be sticking to the unhealthy stuff.

You mean the three snow pea pods, 4 shreads of carrots, and two little baby corns in my dish don't make my 1 pound of deep fried, stirred in grease and slathered with a sugar laden sauce chicken healthy?

What about the 6 peas and the 12 carrot chunks in my half pound of fried rice? It's got vegetables in it. It's healthy damnit!

And my egg roll that is dripping with grease has a couple shreds of cabbage and a little bit of carrots in it...that's got to count for something!

I call shens!!!!

I believe that General Tso's is actually an American creation if I remember correctly.

Yeah, it comes as no surprise to me! Those ingredients are a little too much and suspicious. 😛

I believe you, but I wish I actually got to taste the real Chinese food instead of the imitations! 🙁

Although crabmeat rangoon gives it a run for it's money....

Give me 1 pound of General Tso's chicken, 6 crabmeat rangoon, and a bucket of sweet and sour sauce. Or 10,000 calories worth, whichever comes first.

And I'm a happy man.

Most of it is bland, thus why the american version has salt and sauce added to it.
