Summer Cooking and Stitching

   Posted by: Katy   in Uncategorized

Eric’s birthday is Thursday so we treated him to beer at the grocery. He got Guinness for him and Blue Moon with an orange for me!

For dinner we had Dijion Tofu! I’ve never done it with tofu before. I don’t think I’ve ever cooked with tofu. This recipe originally called for pork. I prefer the pork. The flavors get in the meat really well!

You brown the onions in Pam or Olive oil. I like to cut them big, maybe that is because in college my roommate preferred no onions! Next you remove the onions from the pan and put in the meat. Cook the meat 25% done then cover in a mixture of Dijon Mustard and Italian Salad Dressing (depending on what you use this can be quite healthy). Add the onions back to the pot, cover it, and continue to cook the meat, turning as necessary. I threw in some spinach for some additional veggies. Serve and enjoy!

Here is the small produce section growing on our counter.
The lemon is from a tree on our driveway and the cucumber was given to me at school today. The tomatoes are from another person at the church. She sent them with homemade chicken, noodle, and vegetable soup last week. Yum!

Here’s Eric displaying a shirt I worked on this weekend. I picked up the kit from Alabama Chanin when I was at their workshop in March. It was fun. I also have a kit for an organic cotton duster. That’ll take a bit more work!

I got a “No” from the company I interviewed with last week. It was a big bummer. With all these shut doors, I’m thinking more and more, I may start something on my own. I have a lot of vintage patterns–800 to be exact–to sell. Then I can use the money from that to do something else. It’ll be fun to see how it turns out.

Peace,

^_^
