OKRA AND CARROTS

I cooked last night!

I wanted to use some of the wonderful Tillamook Cheese that friends brought us, so I made noodles and cheese sauce.  But I also thought that maybe it would be good to have some vegetables.  Thankfully we had some in the fridge that were for the rabbits we were watching but were no longer at our house.  We had carrots and okra.  The rabbits didn't like the okra.  I like okra.  I decided to try to stir fry it up like our friend Hiroko does.  Here is what happened.

I cut up the carrots and okra into nice pieces.

Then I heated up the skillet with olive oil and dumped in the vegetables.  I stirred them around.

I have this great sauce I bought in Thailand, but I don't know exactly what it is.  I added that.

Some friends were staying with us a few weeks ago and left some parmesan cheese sprinkles that are pretty good, so I added that too.

Ate it up!  And it was quite tasty too.







CHAI

Boil a cup and a half of water with a spoon full of tea leaves.

 You can also add cinnamon, bruised green cardamon, ginger, or cloves.

Once boiling, add milk until it is the color you like.  Also add a spoon of sugar.

Stir.

Bring to a boil.

Strain into a cup.

Enjoy!
