  2. Scooter LOVES Kung Pao. Surprised? :D I don't care for it because it's typically too hot. But if I'm making it myself... Hmmmmmm! :P

  4. Oh sorry - over rice.

    DO NOT TOUCH YOU EYE!!! Be very careful after breaking open the chilis. If you do not break them open they will not flavour the dish as well. (Do you like how I spelled flavour? Just for YOU!)
