Like Korean Beef



We have been back from vacation for a week now.

I need to go to the grocery store.

We had empty cabinets before vacation;

that's because we had been in NYC for 12 days!

When we returned from NYC, I didn't go to the store because we were leaving for vacation in just 10 days!

Why go buy stuff, right?

I'm not even making this up!

I haven't been to the store since July 2.

We've been living on weird stuff out of the freezer!

It's allowed me to be creative!

I think that's good!

But now, the grocery list is SO extensive, that I don't want to go to the store!

I'm going to have to push that mess up and down the aisles,

lug it onto the conveyor belt to check out,

lug it back into the basket,

to lug it into the back of my car,

to lug it into the house,

then to put it all up. . .

only to later stand in front of the refrigerator that afternoon and wonder, "what's for dinner?"

No!  That doesn't sound fun today!

I'm avoiding it at any cost right now, because guess what?

We leave to go out of town tomorrow!

Serious!

I'll wait until next week to grocery shop!

Until then, here's a recipe I found on 2 or 8 sites!  I honestly don't remember which one I found it on first, but it's on Pinterest too!

I made a very minor adjustment:  added fish sauce and omitted the ginger  . . .because guess why?

I don't HAVE any!

I'd make this again!

I served it with the egg rolls I had in the freezer!

Charleston's Style Potato Soup

Love Charleston's! Love everything I ever eat at Charleston's. Love the blackened fish sandwich, which isn't listed on the menu but you can still order it, with glazed carrots. Love the carrots! Love the chicken fingers;  the best there are!  I rarely order them -- because it's not a healthy choice, but oh boy!  They're delish! Love the honey glazed croissant. L.O.V.E! Love the pork chops with smashed potatoes and glazed carrots. Love the potato soup! Seriously adore it! It's thick. It's simple. It's delicious! We don't have a Charleston's where we live. Boo hoo! Here's a close replica of Charleston's baked potato soup.  I found it at www.tastebook.com   I made some adjustments to the recipe.  Not because I think I "know," but because I didn't have everything on hand nor can my sweet girl cherub have some of the ingredients.  I made it and didn't tell my family what it was su...

Mixed Nut Butter

I've been making almond butter for the Mr. some time now. I used to make it in my (very) old food processor. Matter of fact, my dad bought the food processor for me before I ever got married . . . from a garage sale! So I know it's at least 20 years old, but probably older! I bet when my dad did that he had no idea I'd still be using it! That's money well spent, huh? Recently, thought, the Mr. saw a "suggestion" to make mixed nut butter. There you go; enough said! I've already made him two different kinds recently. Regardless of your preference, I don't think you can go wrong! The first I made was a combination of walnut and pecan Now, I've made a mix of cashew and walnut Next will be pecan and almond I think. It's so easy. Follow the general directions from the post about making almond butter: http://karen-proverbs31.blogspot.com/2012/01/almond-butter.html There's a bit of difference, but on...
