Рецепт Stir-Fried Pork with Noodles
Since mon mari prefers not to eat pasta, and I love pasta, I thought we could try a compromise.
He’s fine with rice.
Voila!
Rice noodles.
The selection of rice noodles at the Asian market is amazing. I had no idea they came in so many different shapes, widths and lengths

I’ve been working on a project.
I love working on projects. The problem is I normally get so engrossed that all else get sloughed off and ignored.
Today I decided to be a good girl.
A quick shower, lunch and I had a solid three hours to spend engrossed in my project.
I was just stepping out of the shower when the lights blinked.
Then they went off, came back on, went off, came back on, went off.
I heard thunder.
The lights stayed off.
Not only could I not work on my project (requires computer) I couldn’t do anything else.
It was a rather violent thunderstorm, the house was dark, the wind was blowing and we had no electricity.
Sigh…..
The best laid plans….
At least I won’t have to water tonight.
Ah yes…. The electricity was only off for about 90 minutes. But, when it came back on the washing machine wouldn’t work. It had been mid-cycle. So we had sopping wet, soapy clothes to deal with. Mon mari fixed the machine and all is back to normal.
Whatever normal is around here…..
