Almost finished with the dresser!!! Chris added the final coat this morning and I convinced him to hang my favorite mirror above it! I still need to put on the drawer pulls, but then it is finished! I am going to use this dresser to store my cookbooks!
I apologize in advance for the picture quality, it is slightly overcast on and off here in Kansas today. The pictures range from great, to what is that blurry image.....
When Chris and I bought our house there was a strange room right off the kitchen that was too small to be a dining room and to large to be anything else, so I painted it yellow and ignored it for about 4 years. Today it has a round claw and ball table with two chairs on one side and the huge floor to ceiling window and dresser/mirror on the other. I promise to take pictures as soon as everything is settled. You can see our laundry and the office trash can in the kitchen if you squint and stick your tongue out of one side of your mouth.
Lets talk food shall we!
I have every kind of seasoning and herb for chinese cooking, sauces and chili's galore. I know Emma is marrying a chinese man, but he might want to eat at Kaiti's house when she grows up cause this kid is all business when chinese food is concerned.
Ingredients:
3 small heads of Broccoli, cut into small bunches
3 Carrots, thickly cut into matchsticks
4 Scallions, sliced
2 heaping tbls. garlic that is minced
1/2 lb. baby portobella mushrooms, cut into 4ths
about 6 cups of bean sprouts.
1 pkg. Fettuccine, cooked al dente'
2/3 bottle stir fry sauce, make sure it is vegan
In a large pot bring water to boil for pasta. In a large skillet heat 2 tbls. olive oil and garlic over high heat, or water saute. Add carrots and broccoli and cook until until crisp tender. Add in your mushrooms and steam for about 3 minutes. Remove vegetables and place in a large metal bowl.
In the same skillet, add your bean sprouts and onions, there is no need to add any oil. From your pasta pot add 1 ladle full of pasta water to bean sprout mixture, cover and cook for 2 minutes. Place in the bowl with other vegetables. Add your stir fry sauce. Drain pasta and add to veggie mixture, toss to coat and serve immediately.
Servings: A literal ton. Will feed 8-15 people depending on serving size and additional offerings.
I added sriracha to mine and it was uber spicy!
I will pack Chris about 4 large lunches with what is left.

The dresser looks great in black. The round mirror is perfect over it.
My favorite chinese food is difficult since I like so many dishes. But veggie lo mein with fermented black beans is way up the list. Steamed veggie filled dumplings are also good.
talk to you later,
Alicia
i never think to do stir fry with noodles, but it looks so good! thanks :)
I really like that round mirror.
And the food looks so yummy too! I love stir fry, fast and tasty!
Thank you ladies!
Alicia, Do you make your own fermented black beans?
RAV-It is a quick and easy dinner to say the least!
Janet-I found the mirror at Target!
My daughter could eat lo mein every day.
