The Fantastically Demonic World of Nila N. Brown

Hello my lovelies! In this blog edition, we're going to talk about a cuisine that's near and dear to my heart - Chinese food.  Sweet honey on the rock I just LOVE Chinese food.  Fried rice, Egg Foo Yung, General Tsao's chicken, beef and broccoli, Peking Duck, you name it - if it's cooked in a wok, I'm your girl!
