I don’t know why but sometimes there are certain things you enjoyed at some point in your life that for some reason, disappear. As insignificant as that can be, I remember using a brush when cleaning my face and it felt good because of the subtle friction… it was like a gentle massage. One day when leaving for Toronto, – before I finally moved there officially – I forgot to pack it. Two weeks later when I returned home, somehow I never reused it. A few years ago when I was looking through an old bag of make-up and cleansers I saw what used to be “my favorite” facial cleaning accessory.

The same sort of thing can happen with food and recipes… How many times did we have a favorite appetizer or main course and all of a sudden, restaurants stopped offering it and we just forget about it until someone mentions it or we come across it. Just like having a favorite dish that Mom used to make and it slowly faded away from the family kitchen…

A few months ago, one of my subscribers kindly asked me if I had a recipe for Chicken Chop Suey. “Oh My”, I thought! Yes of course I had one but for some unexplainable reason, I stopped making it. I liked it a lot as did everyone who had enjoyed it at my home. So why did this recipe disappear from my menu rotation?

This Chinese American recipe with uncertain origins is a simple meal that falls into the “comfort food” category. What’s nice about this delicious chicken chop suey dish is it’s quick to prepare and the cooking time is only about 15 minutes. Now that’s a recipe you want to keep for those challenging evenings when there’s little time to cook.

I’m not too sure if my “favorite brush” and this simple yet flavorful recipe have any connection in time when they both vanished but I’m sure happy that I brought my Chicken Chop Suey back to my Chinese recipe list. Now when it comes to my facial brush, I let it go and replaced it with a newer version called Clarisonic®. I guess even your favorites can be replaced at some point…
Bon Appétit!
