"As I ate the oysters with their strong taste of the sea and their faint metallic taste that the cold white wine washed away, leaving only the sea taste and the succulent texture, and as I drank their cold liquid from each shell and washed it down with the crisp taste of the wine, I lost the empty feeling and began to be happy, and to make plans."--Ernest Hemingway

Personal Notes:
This recipe is pretty involved, once you get going you need to keep going. I have found it is helpful to have all my ingredients cut or dissolved and ready to go before I start cooking. this way I am not stressed while in the middle of cooking!

This Sweet and Sour Chicken is different and delicious. I am not a fan of "restaurant" sweet and sour chicken (I hate the red sauce!) but this is different so if you're like me in this regard try this recipe. I bet you'll love it!
