Chinese take-out
Like many dishes that are combinations of many ingredients, a day or so in the refrigerator gives the flavors a chance to meld and deepen. One day later, it’s better than it was when we brought it home.

My favorite local Chinese take-out place is Jing Jing, on Emerson St in downtown Palo Alto. They specialize in hot-and-spicy Szechwan Hunan‎ cuisine and, barring a couple of missteps, almost everything I’ve tried has been very tasty and well executed.
