In desperation, I scoured the internet for a recipe that would resemble those tasty gooey nuggets I am used to enjoying at the Double Dragon in Kennewick. This was pretty close and pretty tasty. Unfortunately, I dirtied about every dish in my kitchen trying to put it all together, but the recipe is totally worth giving a shot.<br /><a href="http://www.chinesefooddiy.com/chicken_war_su_gai.htm" target="_blank" >War Su Gai</a>Anniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01509805566061113397noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-154716674622908237.post-14886974713936689042010-03-15T14:22:00.000-07:002010-03-18T14:26:32.260-07:00Snails<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiizdGu4RcsrWiz6Vlvs4G7znzj9zja8w6_uullA99Du7FkGA_BW4nzF2aFUg7rIPNIlC-Bw1mppf9927njkEM5FXOF898hfo1NShQNpg00x2AndgHI72CV3xsCnoK1JYc6QHTIqsSOnhc/s1600-h/snailsamericanforkdailyphoto.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiizdGu4RcsrWiz6Vlvs4G7znzj9zja8w6_uullA99Du7FkGA_BW4nzF2aFUg7rIPNIlC-Bw1mppf9927njkEM5FXOF898hfo1NShQNpg00x2AndgHI72CV3xsCnoK1JYc6QHTIqsSOnhc/s720/snailsamericanforkdailyphoto.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5450088173850950434" /></a><br />This frozen family has been under a log in the corner of our yard and were unearthed last weekend as we moved our little raised beds.
