This dish is actually something I threw together from the left overs in my fridge. It is a blend of sweet and spicy flavors with a hint of tangy-ness from the cheese. I think this meal is pretty versatile and can be served with a variety of side dishes, spaghetti, potatoes, vegetables or rice. I use rice because I'm Chinese.

Any food with sauce + rice = win
Note: Carlos actually came home drunk this evening, apparently it was his last day at work today, so the boss took everyone out for drinks. He stumbles into the house constantly apologizing and repeating how drunk he is. After noticing the food on the table, he thanks me by hugging me and sharing his booze breath. He devoured the food and posed for the following picture.
