Did you know?<\/strong> Gong Bao chicken<\/strong> (Chinese<\/a>: ????; pinyin<\/a>: g?ng b?o j? d?ng<\/em>; is a classic dish in Sichuan cuisine<\/a>, originating in the Sichuan Province<\/a> of central-western China<\/a>. Allegedly, the dish is named after Ding Baozhen<\/a> (1820\u20131886), a late Qing Dynasty<\/a> official. Born in Guizhou<\/a>, Ding served as head of Shandong<\/a> province and later as governor of Sichuan province. His title was G?ng B?o (??), or palatial guardian.[1]<\/a><\/sup> The name “Kung Pao” chicken is derived from this title.<\/p>\n

After getting home, we decided to stay and watch Halloween movies.\u00a0 We saw “Hocus Pocus<\/a>” which was about three crazy witches. After 300 years, three sister witches are resurrected in Salem Massachusetts on Halloween night, and it us up to two teenagers, a young girl, and an immortal cat to put an end to the witches reign of terror once and for all.<\/p>\n

Lighthearted and funny<\/p><\/div>\n
