Vacation and other trouble completely discombobulated my cooking routine… and even more so my blogging.  Hopefully, we’re back in the saddle again.

I made this Brown Rice and Chicken Stir-Fry with Edamame and Walnuts from an Epicurious search on chicken and edamame.  It sounds kind of disgustingly healthful (my cousin Nina said, “Edamame, isn’t that like lima beans?”), but it wasn’t bad.  The generic stir fry flavors – ginger, garlic, soy, sherry, stock – overwhelmed any lima-bean aspects.  Debbie and I really liked it.  (The dark stuff in the picture, by the way, is toasted walnuts, not some Essence of Health Food.)
