Wednesdays are my Favorite Day of the Week
Auntie Miranda, Ann, and I have a standing first Wednesday of the month lunch date to stay in touch and we usually end up at our favorite restaurant Fire & Ice in the Oasis Hotel on north Glenstone. We've never had anything but great food and the room is so pretty we all love going there. That's the restaurant where we were excited to find David Leong's son Wing Yee executive cheffing and using his father's cashew and sweet/sour chicken recipes as the Wednesday special.
We've all settled into our favorites. Aunt Miranda and the roasted Chicken with lemon tarragon sauce:
Ann loves the cashew chicken:
And I'm partial to the Phad Thai:
Wonderful food and friends. What could make a better Wednesday?

I've heard they have the "original" Springfield cashew chicken. Hmm, I'll have to check it out sometime. That chicken with lemon terragon sauce looks AMAZING!

Deborah--Thanks so much!
Rachel--You need to go. The cashew chicken IS the original and everything on the menu is great. It's a beautiful room too. Let me know if/when you go
Candy--LOL! Ummm...yeah, a bit of a commute for dinner, eh? But yeah, I know what you mean. For years we used to have a weekly luncheon at my grandmother's and it was such a nice way to keep the family together.
Cynthia--Yes!

I'm with you! I am a pad thai addict and I don't need (or want) a twelve step program for that!

I really love Pad Thai and that version looks spectacular!!

Sher--Well come into town on any Wednesday...
Deborah--I agree. But if we start the program it means we can't have it...and we can't have that!
Kate--Thank you. It was delicious.
