Domestic Bliss

I can try it for a night.  Right I am sitting on the couch with the man.  We just ate dinner (that I cooked) and are now enjoying some wine.  We have a Gabriel Iglesias special on the tv.  Both of us are sitting on the couch with our laptops out.  I never thought that an evening like this could bring me this much happiness and contentment.  It is nice to have someone who a) wants to spend an evening like this, and b) enjoys the same things I do.

We are planning a trip to the San Francisco (thus both laptops). Seeing new places is also part of Operation Happiness.   I actually have a bucket list and enjoy accomplishing things I have put on it.  Truth be told, I am excited to see Alcatraz.

Here is the recipe I used for dinner tonight:

Thai Chicken Stir Fry

Ingredients:
2 chicken breasts, cubed
1 1/2 cups of fresh green beans
olive oil
2 garlic cloves
2 scallions chopped
1/2 tsp Garlic chili paste
2 tbsp soy sauce (you can use 1 Tbsp of fish sauce if there are no allergy issues)
1 tsp sugar
Basil (fresh or dried)

Heat oil in a wok or large skillet.  Add the chicken and cook for three to five minutes.  Add garlic and scallions until fragrant.  Add chili paste, soy sauce, sugar  and green beans.  Cook for five more minutes, until chicken is cooked through.  Add basil.  Serve over rice.
