Well, folks, I've been very successful in my pursuit of only eating at locally owned/Michigan based restaurants.
For the past 15 days I have had no- I repeat NO- fast food in my body. I feel so good. I think I'm burping less,too. And my seemingly ever-present heartburn is nowhere near as frequent as it used to be.
I only just realized all these things because I have been *craving* Taco Bell and Burger King. Even McDonald's sounds good to me, and that hardly ever happens. However, I have been staying strong and staying away from the national chains.
This week, Boyfriend and I ate at Little Panda on the westside of Lansing. I used to go there before when I lived on that side of town, but I decided to branch out from my typical order of General Tso's Chicken and go for a noodle dish that reminded me of a certain chain restaurant's street noodle dish. It was really good! Spicy, but not too spicy, well cooked nood, good veg, lots of meat. Can't ask for anything more!
Before I started writing this blog, I took photos of lots of food I was about to eat. For some reason now, though, I keep forgetting. I have to remind myself now to do it, especially when I order really pretty food. I did take photos today of the French onion soup I made. Wanna see? If you like the look of this soup, let me know and I'll pass the recipe along. Its time consuming, but not particularly labor intensive. The majority of the cook time is baking the onions.

These are the raw ingreds. (This is the time I should tell you the recipe for this soup comes from the America's Test Kitchen cookbook)
The onions cooked down about halfway.
Happy deglazed onions!
The final (super delicious) product.
Yay. I love making all day meals...the smells linger there much longer and remind you of your masterpiece. Keep sharing pics! Love it.
