GENERAL TSAO'S CHICKEN

I’ll TAKE YOU OUT!

Grannie had a serious Jones for some General Tsao’s Chicken! Been asking me for weeks now! We always loved it from a particular restaurant in DC, but that was many moons ago, when take out was a regular; so, it’s been a long while since I’ve even picked up Chinese Takeout.

So, I do what I do! I make it from scratch with all the fresh stuff - garlic, ginger, red hot chili peppers, orange zest (the rhine, the juice & the pulp), black strap molasses (instead of white sugar), a splash of rice wine vinegar, sesame & peanut oil, a little soy, not so salty, not so hot! I always prefer roasted vegetables and notice, no rice! Whaaat, No!

OhMaGawd, yes, with so much flavor, truly, you won’t even miss the rice, the egg rolls nor those little packs of HBP sauces! The General Tsao sauce speaks loud and clear! Let’s errrybody know, Um here! Like when you KNOW you gotta good man, grown, lets it be known, “Baby, YOU, all I need!” That, that, that’s the kind of a relationship with, uh, uh MY FOOD - reeks of flavor - lingering down the hall, bouncing off the walls, oozing out of the woodwork, wait’n on THAT call! Yes, I deliver! How may I serve you? Hee, hee!

I’LL TAKE YOU OUT! Y’all here me!

Okay, okay, I can get carried away! Back to reality, still and though I put heat five ways in that sauce (red chili peppers, red pepper flakes, Grannie’s Lemon Pepper AND my homemade hot sauce), Grannie said it wasn’t spicy hot enough for her - a higher tolerance!

Which just means, it’s perfect for most of us; I think I’ll put this on the menu for the next COLORED WOMEN’S EATING CLUB this October 19th!

Mark your calendars for, of course, guiding our light, we’ve the honor and pleasure of THE Sandra Mizell Chaney! Oh, having her back, now that’s hot and just the takeaway WE ALL NEED - fresh, real and from the soul! It’s a spiritual delivery!

Anyway, my take on take out this Labor Day! #ThingsThatMakeYouGoOom

Meanwhile, enjoy My GUESTBOOK - https://www.maribycorpening.com/guest-comments

It was A Soul-Filled Experience and everything I DREAMED it to be! I am overwhelmed with joy, love and so much pride in our strengths (unknown), having shared such a vulnerable, insightful, delightful and just a beautiful moment in time...with these ladies! And I thank you all for opening up and releasing your spirit, as you have no idea how much it has empowered each and every one of us!

We talked, WE ATE, we related, we debated, a lot of wet eyes, oh, yeah, we cried, we laughed, we basked in the power of our testimonies, and as one of our guests perfectly stated, "I needed this! The Experience has woven us together" in time - and what a complicated and brilliantly colorful pattern WE weave! I AM SO FULL & FILLED RIGHT NOW!

THANK YOU to LOVE REBEL, AUTHOR, SPEAKER, HEALER Sandra Mizell Chaney - OUR GUIDING LIGHT! THANK YOU to My Wonderfully Brave, Power-Filled and Richly-Talented Guests, THE WOMEN of the very 1st COLORED WOMEN'S EATING CLUB! AND A SPECIAL THANKS to that group of Trailblazing Women From Chicago, who unknowingly inspired me some 25 years ago to Bring To Life THE COLORED WOMEN’S EATING CLUB Experience!

MARIBY'S INFAMOUS SLAP BISCUITS

Hospitalent Mariby Corpening’s Infamous Scratch-made BUTTERMILK SLAP BISCUITS! Always served hot out of the oven, slathered in softened butter and topped with my homemade strawberry jam! A guest once said, “These biscuits are so good, umma bout to slap somebody!” Hence, the name. OMG! Even when I’m running my mouth, embracing and laughing with my guests, which y’all know I can’t do while the biscuits are in the oven, because, YES, I HAVE BURNED THE BISCUITS!! No joke, and guess what? Yup, my guests will still eat them! #ThingsThatMakeYouGoOom #SlapBiscuits
