I started growing my own herbs, just basil & cilantro for now. I live in an apartment with no balcony so there's not much space...Anyway, they've sprouted & I'm looking forward to enjoying them. This week my fiance bought a piece of steak on sale & I didn't know what to do with it. So I slice up 1/2 of it very thin & cooked it in olive oil w/those colorful carrots I love so much! I added spring onions, ginger, garlic, water chestnuts, & a little soy sauce. Then I added some buckwheat noodles to make a chowmein. I had never tried buckwheat noodles, but I had read about them in a magazine & decided to try them. I really like them! Then last night I used the other 1/2 of the meat to make an indian style stir fry, which I cooked in grapeseed oil. I sliced it thin w/onions, a green pepper & some cumin & cayenne pepper. We ate it with hummus & pitas. Yum!
