Tonight was probably one of my best meals ever.  Tonight was chinese sweet and sour chicken.  Again, the craving for takeout comfort was intense, so sweet and sour chicken seemed to fit the bill.  But it was so funny.  I was all organised to the point that all I had to do was dump everything in.  I found this one off of Recipezaar, with my own modifications.  I made sure to season the chicken with plenty of salt and pepper.  I also added a bit more vinegar than recommended, and made sure to use cider vinegar.  Also I de-glutened this by using cauliflower “rice”.
