A Chinese Fix.

After cooking every day for the last 11 days inc a lunch for 20 on New Years Eve i could not even venture into the kitchen. The thought of slicing another vegetable nearly pushed me over the edge and for some reason i have been craving a spicy chinese meal. I managed to slip an early visit to The Royal China into the first day back full of errands after Xmas.
