Mung Beans

I'm sprouting mung beans. The first time I did this last year I tried sprouting way too many. These are coming along well. We had them in our peanut noodles the other night.

Peanut sauce & Noodles and Jalapeño Poppers

My brother stayed over the other day and we made homemade jalapeño poppers, peanut sauce and noodles, drank lots of beer, and watched four episodes of Anthony Bourdain "No Reservations".






It was interesting making the poppers because I have never eaten or made homemade ones before. I've always had the frozen ones--yuck. I like knowing what's in my food! They were really good. The only issue we had was that we couldn't touch anything with our hands after handling the peppers or else it would burn for at least 20 minutes!



The peanut sauce contained lemongrass, peanut butter, chili flakes, rice vinegar, soy sauce, raw sugar, ginger, and I forget what else. We added mint, mung beans (that I'm growing), raw broccoli, and peanuts on top of the sauce & noodles. So good and so easy!!

My Kitchen

I love my kitchen, I hang out there more than the living room! Even at my parents house and my Memere's house the kitchen has been the more comforting place to sit, talk and relax.
