I'm still not entirely sure of all that, but it works at least as a first go.

I keep forgetting to put up this recipe for orange chicken stir fry. And since it's basically a stir fry, mix together the sauce and, well. Stir fry with your favorite veggies.

1 cup orange juice
1/2 cup sweet chili sauce
1 tbsp brown sugar
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tsp mustard
1/2 tsp garlic or 1 clove minced garlic
2 tbsp corn starch
2 tbsp cold water

It's actually supposed to be a baking sauce, but I tried it as a stir fry sauce and it worked just as well. As long as you don't leave it on the stove too long at too high a temperature and then it scorches to the bottom of the pan. Ahem. Not that I've ever done that.

I'd kind of forgotten that sometimes when I try to get more organized, I wind up continuing the trend of being organized just out of habit. Or something. It's like with dreams, when you start trying to remember them, you remember them more easily? And it seems like my brain's rewiring itself to be more organized and so on. Not so much so because now I can't remember why I think that, but oh well. As long as it keeps up, I don't really mind. Okay, now I'm just rambling.

Game tomorrow. Which means some cleaning tonight. I should make another list of crap I have to do at some point. And revise my writing schedule. Oogh, and it's raining out. Bleh. On the plus side? Progress is so being made on mindset, on, well. Everything. It's good.
