Today we had a big dinner. Was Micheles dad's birthday and had the whole family for dinner. He love Chinese, so we made a General Tso chicken, a Beef and Broccoli, a vegetable stirfry and served with rice. Everyone loved it. The best part is that we served 9 adults and 4 kids for a serious bargain. We used $6.00 of chicken drumsticks, that I deboned, $3.50 of flank steak and about $10.00 of fresh vegetables and condiments (oil, soy sauce etc...). Had more than enough for a group of big eaters, plenty of leftovers (except no more of the General, was too good to leave any) for lunch today. And all for under $20.00. It is crazy how well you can eat, and how much you can make on a budget if you pay attention to what you buy and plan ahead. I dad bought all the meats the week before and froze them for this meal. Saved about $10.00 than if I had bought it today last minute.
