No, this is not a foodie blog. However, I threw together a meal last night "Theresa-style" and think it's worthy of discussion. (Side note: "Theresa-style" refers to Justin's grandmother who likes to experiment in the kitchen.) I got home last night and I just wasn't feeling another night of bbq. I know I'll regret saying that when we have three foot of snow on the ground, but I just couldn't endure another hamburger or hotdog. Enter Stir-Fry.
I had probably half a pound of purple string-beans and another half a pound of asparagus in the fridge which I wanted to use up. I got the frying pan out to saute the two together with butter and garlic when the idea for Stir-Fry hit me. So I pulled two chicken breasts from the freezer and put them on auto-defrost in the microwave. I got some minute brown rice going on the stove. Then I got fancy and swirled some soy sauce and honey in with the veggies and covered them to steam a bit on low. I cut the chicken into strips and fried them up separately with some olive oil, salt-n-pepper, paprika, and a glob or so of sweet and sour sauce. The end result was a dish even Julia Child would be proud of. You'll have to forgive me as it was an afterthought to take a photo, so it's not plated fancy and there is in fact no rice in this photo.
