In search of one inch ginger root

On my way home from work I decided to stop at the grocery store to pick up some items to make my latest dinner creation... the first stop in my store is the produce section. "Great!" I think to myself.. I have so many things to get on my list... potatoes, garlic, scallions, and according to the recipe "One-inch Ginger root" so because I am new to this whole cooking thing I spend 15 minutes staring at the herbs looking for, what I think is Ginger root(see: bean sprout). Haha yes, so after finishing my other shopping, I find a friendly produce worker to help me find what I am looking for, and he takes me over to the same exact location that I had spent the 15 mins looking for this darn root, and sure enough in front of me the ugliest pile of giant's toes... brown and gross and the little sign says "Ginger" Lesson learned. Ginger root does not equal beansprouts!

The BBQ Chinese chicken lettuce wraps came out tasty.. I have been making adequate substitutions in the recipes and they are turning out to be just amazing!

I forgot..

So I totally forgot I signed up with this blog using a different email address.. so I was very unhappy to find that I someone had stolen my name... well needlesstosay... I had a moment of genius when i thought, maybe it's my other email.. and so we have it.. Back to the Blog-o-sphere!!!!

So I am going to start to write about delish foods I have been cooking.. those of you who know me, know I can not even make instant pudding.. however I think somewhere between buying a house, loving my kitchen, and getting married, I have become quite the chef!!!!!

to quote my Hubs... best cooked dinner by far... and it was EASY!
