It's raining a bit and I sort of knew it as I woke up with a pain in my hip and the usual fatigue. Forced my way through step class and the pain subsided, a testament to the benefits of exercise. K gets all congested in the humidity as well, he's on his nasonex rhinitis spray this week.
I popped into the garden centre to take a quick look at the trees for sale. They're expensive and big. I think I'll wait until the fall and see what deals are out there as I'm not really in a hurry.
Well, I'm doing a beef stir fry today, with my favourite stir fry sauce of the moment. I just buy the sauce at the grocery store and mix it into the meat as a marinade, really simple. The trick I've found is to stir fry small slices of beef for a few minutes in small batches. At the end, I remove all the beef from the pan and stir in a cup of water mixed with about a tablespoon of corn starch. As soon as the mixture starts to bubble, I have a gravy to pour over the meat. I find that top sirloin works well for this.
