From my blog, http://validgeek.com – the problem with ordering general tso’s chicken take-out is if you’ve never eaten at that restaurant before, you don’t know if you’re about to bite into a boiling lavapit of pain and spice or the most bland and greasy thing you’ve eaten all week. But there is a solution! Make it yourself!
