Cooking
Matt has been rather eager to try some of the goodies Julia recently sent to us, so Friday night we had the Mee Rebus, pictured above.
Big hit. Matt adored it. (Matt says: a bit sweet, distinct taste of peanuts, very much the sort of thing I'd expect from Malay/Indonesian/etc. cuisine. Tasty, although I'm not convinced I chose the right noodles) He ate a lot, which is rare for him. This is so very much his kind of thing.
It was garnished with fried tofu, boiled eggs, diced peppers...I can't even remember everything he put in it, but it was filling and quite delicious...thank you, Julia!
To go with, I made some ginger/tofu filled wontons, which I think are quite tasty.
We even grazed on the left-overs later in the evening...so, I'd say it was a successful meal.

- This & That Fry
Ever since my visit to Georgia last summer, and the discovery ofwonton noodles, I've been able to eat many more Asian dishes. (See, I have this weird texture issue...hate squishy noodles...) Something I really like, and that Matt makes, is a sort...
- Satay For Two
Tuesday's dinner, which was supposed to be Monday's, (are you still with me?) a quick and easy Beef (and Fake Beef) Satay. Strips of beef (or Morningstar Farms Meal Starters) marinated in brown sugar, soy sauce and ginger, then quickly cooked...
- Imbb? #19 I Can't Believe I Ate Vegan!
The fabulous Sam of Becks & Posh is hosting this month's IMBB?, choosing Vegan foods/meals for the theme. Sam suggested we try to 'surprise' someone with our vegan dishes; you know, 'really? You liked it? That's great...it has a tofu...
