ideal looking stir fry

Yesterday I was in an energetic mood. I had spent most of the day busy at work but daydreaming about making something goooood for Isaac, which put me in some creative element that left me wanted to do something with my hands, of course! And my stomach! I thought i’d make it fun and make him guess what I was making by the smells emanating from the kitchen, and that there would be a surprise at the end if he got it right. Well, he guessed it before I even started making it (I have to say he started digging in the fridge…sneaky little thing). Well, I did not use a recipe, but I thought that I would soak the beef in some soy sauce, pepper, garlic powder, and voila! I thought that would make it taste like stir fry.

Well yeah, it did, but…I over did it with the soy sauce. Yep, I have accustomed myself to less salty food these days. I don’t know why. I guess that’s a good thing. I used to love putting salt on everything! Granted, soy sauce is a lot more salty than salt, but still…it should have been fine. I know I didn’t put more than a 1/4 cup of soy sauce to a 1/2 lb of beef? I think? I’m not one to use the measuring cups, you know, it’s the power of the mushiness, creative spirit that drives my putting a little of this, and putting a little of that, so…

gag!

Isaac ate it just fine, even it was salty for him.

Oh well…I will remember that I cannot handle salt anymore to my taste buds.

Of course, that picture above is NOT what it looked like, it was covered in that dark syrupy substance…Stir fry is one of my favorite foods and I will have to perfect it! Just like anything that takes skill and creativity, practice, practice, practice! Even if I have to make oodles and oodles of the stuff, and gain 2o or so more pounds. EEEK!

I have definitely made the mental note here.

Oh! and the surprise was a fortune cookie, of course!
