Our first try at Chinese

The kids and I decided on Thursday night that we would ask John to help us try and cook up some Chinese food on Friday....we have never done this before. Our family attempt at Chinese food dinners include a cute black and white panda :) So we bought some of the ingredients he requested and gave it a try before our Back to School Night at FCA. It was wonderful! The house still smells great this morning. We are going to give it another try soon. Here are some pics from our creation and a recipe that we followed some:
