I went shopping today to get some new tops for Vegas. Most of mine have paint on them. My son was my shopping buddy and I had a nice time even though I was doing something I hate. We even went into a gallery that we found. Our House Gallery in El Dorado Hills. I had no idea it was there but I don't get out much. They had some pretty interesting pieces. I did find a few tops so I'm ready to go. I hate the fun house mirrors in the dressing rooms which really aren't fun at all so I am going to bed with no dinner! haha but speaking of dinner...
If you follow my blog you know another passion of mine is cooking. Well here's a little something I made for dinner the other night that I thought I would share. It was looking so good that I took a picture of it! haha I buy thinly sliced rib-eye steaks at the Korean market. They call it Bulgogi meat. (mentioned on a previous post) One steak must be cut into 30 slices at least. It's almost shaved. If you don't have a Korean market nearby I'm sure your grocery butcher could slice something thinly for you if you wanted to try this. I marinated the thinly sliced beef in approx 3 tbsps of Top fish sauce for about 15 minutes. I browned finely sliced onion & 1/2 of a red bell pepper in about 2 tbsp of olive oil, (my pan was almost dry). When those were soft & golden I removed them, added 1 more tbsp of olive oil and cooked the meat. When it was almost done I added a handful of chopped fresh Thai basil (if you can't get Thai basil I'm sure regular fresh basil would be almost as good) & fresh cilantro with 3 cloves of finely chopped garlic. We ate this on white rice with a big squeeze of lime & chopped green onion. I cooked it outside on the bbq burner. It smelled so good I bet it drove the neighbors nuts. This recipe is definitely a keeper. The guys & I loved it and it was fast & easy!

I hate dressing room mirrors too. They make me so sad, lol.
That looks yum! I will have to give it a try. Thanks for the recipe :)
That looked super yummy! Too bad you banned yourself from dinner..lol..
Oh yum!!! Thanks for the recipe. How nice to know I'm not the only one who runs around town with paint splatters all over my clothes - it drives my husband crazy :)
That does look yummy! Oh I hate those mirrors, too. I have no full-length mirrors in my home so they're always a double shock. lol
I'm with Lisa. I just try to avoid mirrors and hope for the best! I can almost smell the garlic.... yummmmmmm!
The food looks yummy..Almost every thing I own has paint on it. LOL.
I love your life-style!
That looks like i need the recipe too.
