Last Wednesday night's meal for three was a resurrection of the Holly Avenue neighborhood collective, after a month's interval with no opportunities to get all of us together. It's the mixed blessing of a very busy work and travel schedule, of course! Our menu included my own spin on kung pao chicken stirfry, served over brown rice, all richly sauced and with a terrific combination of flavors and a little heat. Our dinner portions were approrpiately sized, and there was enough left over to send in a to-go bag.
