Mr. Stirfry

I read many reviews on this restaurant. After reading them I really didn't want to go eat there. But after much begging from my husband I decided to go give it a try. First off, Mr. Stirfry has four gorgeous dining rooms with very tasteful decoration. They have a full sushi bar, a hibachi bar and five or six full buffet tables. This restaurant has it all every chinese dish that is traditional and a lot of main american dishes. A lot of the reviews came down on their fried rice and crab rangoon. The reviews stated that the fried rice had a "funny taste" and that the crab rangoon was so different that it wasn't traditional. Neither my husband or I thought that the fried rice had a funny taste. And, the changes to the crab rangoon was well accepted by us. I don't really like crab rangoon except for the middle parts I usually throw the fried parts away. This was a very crisp neat crab rangoon. Also, their egg rolls are by far the best I've had.

But, the part I need to mention is the sushi bar. I have hated sushi for a very long time. UNTIL now. Their sushi is amazing. Hand made right in front of you by their sushi chefs. I even was bold enough to try their eel sushi which was delicious. I personally give this restaurant a good review and will eat there many times in the future.

Another thing that must be mentioned is their service. Several of the reviews online reported bad service. I went on a very busy night so my server couldn't stand right next to my table the whole time like the reviews stated. They did get very handsy cleaning the table before we were ready too. But this was nothing that interrupted our eating or bothered us in the least bit. We did not get ran out for not adding a tip at the cash register. We just tipped at the table and had no issues with it. I am definetely going to be returning to this restaurant for some delicious sushi.

My New Blog

So, I've decided to start this new blog. I've thought about this a lot lately. When I was a teenager I loved to cook especially baking. I also, loved to write. That's how I spent a lot of my spare time. I really contemplated becoming a writer but chose a different path instead. After having a couple of kids I've let both of these past times slip. I still cook don't get me wrong but I let the love of baking slip away. I also haven't wrote in a very long time. So, I decided to start this blog to get back to things that I love and start a new hobby for myself. It's very hard for me as a working mom with a husband that is a full time worker and full time student to divulge in hobbies or anything for myself for that matter. So, this may be a bit of a struggle at first to find time and management skills but I think that this will be a success.

The name of this blog is derived from my perilous cooking in the kitchen. I typically burn a lot of pots, anything plastic and try to catch the stove on fire multiple times. I'm sort of klutzy but I learn from my mistakes. So, I am going to add the humor of my cooking fiascos onto this blog. I hope you all get a laugh from it. I love going through multiple websites and collecting a large amount of recipes that I want to try. I usually try the recipe as it is written first although if I can tell that it is not going to work for my family then I will change it before trying it. Then, after reviews from my husband, children and myself I will change it until everyone enjoys it. Or, at least my husband and I. My children are picky eaters that are rarely satisfied unless it's chicken nuggets. I do believe that my husband and I are pretty good food critics. Therefore, I will be including local restaraunt reviews.

I do hope you enjoy my blog! I will be adding and submitting blog entries here soon.
