OT: Kitchen MakeoverGot the vinyl siding done and the tuckpointing is next week. I'm planning on finally doing 'something' with the kitchen after the first of the year...
connected the dots and
~Stopped in at the local Asian market yesterday to buy a few ingredients for ~tonight's dinner. Couldn't believe the produce prices! Lemons and limes, ~11 cents each. Green beans and broccoli, $.79 a pound. Strawberries (yeah, ~I know, out of season, but the kids like 'em) $1.50 for a container that is ~usually $2.50 at the supermarket. Herbs, ridiculously cheap. Etc, etc, ~etc.
24, Honeydew melon 1.50 Ginger: 99 cents for 12 ounces fresh.
~I don't shop there often, because it is usually so packed. But I realize ~that I've been going there on weekends, when I have more time to chop up all ~the stuff needed for the dishes we like. Turns out that the place is ~practically deserted on weekdays! I'll be going back for our produce, for ~sure. (Especially since I forgot the lemongrbutt). ~ ~My two-year-old loved seeing the live crabs and big ol' dead fish, and he ~liked the free cookies they set out near the cashier. :-) ~ ~Meanwhile, the 5-yr-old decided to try my pork and beef chili last ~night....she liked it! I'm thawing some more for her lunch at the moment. ~ ~Tonight's dinner: Warm Beef on Cool Noodles from May Pham's Best of ~Vietnamese and Thai Cooking. Will post the recipe if it's any good. ~ ~CHris ~
