General Sheri Tso's

Chinese food is my wife's secret indulgence!  She regularly looks and listens to others when they have Chinese recommendations.  Once she drove to Kent when we lived in Cuyahoga Falls to get some chicken fried rice, she was the only person in the entire restaurant at the time but, true to form, the owner of the restaurant when Sheri's food was ready yelled out "CHICKEN FRIED RICE" somewhat embarrassed, Sheri looked around the restaurant, chuckled and rose her hand to get her order! Nice Honey.

Here's to the General in all of us.  Cheers!
