  And that's what we had for dinner . Actually this is the second time
I've made this recipe (https://pinchofyum.com/lo-mein) first try was
with beef and fettucini for the noodles , this time it was linguine and
shrimp . It was pretty good both times , better the second try . I only
have regular soy sauce and it calls for some dark , which will be
arriving in a few days - not available locally so I had to order it
online . It's supposed to be even tastier with the dark soy , I
kinnardly wait ! We have a real fondness for good lo mein , and there's
nowhere near here that has it . I'll probably never match our favorite
Chinese food place , but I'm getting close !

What, you're eating commie Chinese food? During the corona crisis?
What kind of patriot are you?

I do my own often and keep a good supply of all the chinky
seasonings/ingredients. It's actually very easy, all one needs is
left over meat, a spare pork chop works well. I always have Bok Choy,
celery, onions, garlic and some other veggies in the fridge, a case of
canned 'shrooms I'm set to go. I typically cook pork or eggs chinky
style, I rarely cook chicken... neither of us enjoys poultry. I roast
a small turkey for Thanksgiving only because it's traditional but we
generally don't eat even half, the rest feeds the outside critters.
The only meat we eat is pork and beef... not even seafood as we can't
get fresh seafood here, frozen seafood is trash. Rather than meat we
eat a lot of egg dishes.

That's a bit DUMB. Since neither of you like poulty, why not
start a NEW tradition for Thanksgiving. One year I ate two
PBJ sandwiches for Thanksgiving. (too lazy to cook for just me)

We detest peanut butter, never any here. We think PB is the most
detestable food possible. And yet we enjoy in the shell peanuts.
Actually I like Spanish peanuts best, those with the red skins in the
penny machines at every subway station in NYC.

Do you two share taste buds?

Popeye is using "we" as royals used to.
