The well dressed Chairman(person) paces back and forth in front of the hidden ingredient, looking over the single chef who has shown up in Snohomish Kitchen Stadium. "Tonight," she says, "You have been chosen to come up with a delicious stir-fry with tonight's secret ingredient."
With a flourish, she removes the kitchen towel, and shouts, "Shredded Beets and Carrots!!!! And Chicken/Apple Sausage!!!!"
My heart sank.
A stir fry? Really? Uh...what?
My mind started working overtime. She had also provided onions and garlic. I grabbed the wok, the soy sauce and fish sauce from the fridge, some Apple Cider vinegar, some thai seasoning, some Brown Sugar, and went to work.
Anne had already started some brown rice on the stove.
Okay, so, it actually came out really good...a little red....but really good.
Iron Chef Brad won the day.
Was this Iron Chef...or Dinner Impossible. Hmnmmmm? Whatever it was...it was Good Eats.
If you're as much of a Food Network geek as you now realize you are, congratulations. Otherwise this went completely over your head.

hilarious!
my kids and i love food network. sometimes it inspires my son to get in the kitchen and whip something up. at age 10 this can be a rather interesting venture. but he loves to cook so i gotta support that. last night he didn't want my penne pasta with garlic and shrimp, so i let him have some of his own shrimp and vegetables. he made his own saute and ate every bite of it. this was a whole lot more pleasant than me nagging him to eat the pasta he doesn't like.
