What's in them? Thinly sliced steak (first time cooking steak), thinly sliced carrots, cabbage and lettuce, rice noodles "cooked" and broken up, and a few torn basil leaves. I think that was it. Yum!
Also made a peanut sauce to go with it: about 1 T natural peanut butter, 1 take-out packet of soy sauce, a squirt of sriracha, a teeny bit of water. It's peanuty with a kick.
Will try these again, with different veggies and a marinated steak/chicken/shrimp/tofu (depending on what's in the fridge I suppose!).
In decorating news... ; )
Started painting the bathroom. Covering the blah-inducing yellowish, beige-ish, i-look-ugly wall color with "muffin mix"- what we used in the bedroom in the apartment! Oh, it is so much fresher looking in there. It looks surprisingly great with the green tiles. Will finish the first coat tomorrow and pick up a qt of a satin-finish for the second.
Also have pretty much decided to paint the hallway a really light sky blue (oh, and have replaced the blah light fixture, with a bubbly one like I did for the ceiling fan!) and to paint the Peacock table a super-glossy teal. In honor of the Peacock? Perhaps. Besides, that color will look GREAT with the ivory sofa.
In crafting news...
How fabulous will an embroidered/cross-stitched Dita von Teese photo look? Pretty great, I think. Will be looking through my book (that I was told one of T's Conan buddies was going through last game. Funny mix- barbarian speak + burlesque.) and scanning a few pics to see which will make the best pattern. Think it'll be my to-the-Valley-road-trip project, but I may not be able to wait that long.
