Messy Dinner

Last night I made a fancy dinner. It was stir fry, and it was messy, because when I was cooking the somen noodles at the end, they flopped into the pan and splashed some of the vegetable/sesame oil and soy sauce mix onto both my shirt and the floor. No harm, except to my poor shirt (haha).

I stir fried the boneless pork first, and then added the mushrooms after removing the meat. Lastly, the cold somen noodles (prepared before firing up the wok) went into the mix, and then I plated them all together. A side of snow peas and a glass of iced tea, and dinner was served. SO good.

Lake Time


I went to the lake today and finally got in my first walk of the year. I was down there from 1:00 - 2:00 pm, and enjoyed the sun and the wind (haha). The walk was nice, and it passed more swiftly than I expected. I listened to Chillhop music from the Bandcamp app. The sky was ridiculously blue, but it was a bit too chilly to stay too long. Definitely worth the trip though (as always)!

Spring One

Up at 9:30 am to the tree removal crew beginning work.

Lunch was ramen with a few bits of celery, fresh mushrooms and soy sauce-infused boneless pork. SO good. After the crew left I opened all of the windows for the first time this year, and left them open 1:00 pm - 6:00 pm. SO nice!

OOD-on

I made the last of the udon noodles and also I did my first ever pork stir fry. Thin boneless pork chops in vegetable oil, with soy sauce added toward the end. The udon was made in semame oil. Add in fresh snow peas and this meal went by too quickly - SO good!

Winter Storm Demi

We had a snowstorm overnight, beginning around 5:00 pm and ending after 1:00 am. We wound up with about 4 inches after the fall and the occurrence of settling.

I cleaned my car off today, when it was in the 20's and the sun was shining. The first two photos are 'before' (we've had negligible snow this winter!), and the bottom two are 'after', around 1:30 am.
