Rain's Thursday Art and Dinner Date - 'Lost' and a Stir Fry Dish

Welcome to Rain's Thursday Art and Dinner Date.  Her art theme today is 'Lost'.
Here is my ACEO (2 1/2" x 3 1/2") showing a girl lost in the forest.




Bean Thread Vermicelli Stir Fry

For the dinner date, I made this bean thread vermicelli stir fry with ground beef, green beans and garlic chives.  The bean thread vermicelli is low in carbs and calories, great for my diabetic husband.

small bunch of Chinese garlic chives cut into 2"lengths, can substitute green onions

Saute garlic in oil, add ground beef and brown it.  Add trimmed green beans and stir fry for about 3 minutes.  Cover and simmer for 6 more minutes.  Mix in prepared vermicelli noodles, the sauce, and chives.  Cover and simmer 3 more minutes.

Enjoy!

So, what do you do with your little paintings?
We have a painting on our wall that hubby's mother did. She learned to paint when she was 70!

Your "Lost" painting really coveys the feeling of being lost; it's unsettling. Your stir fry looks yummy and healthy. Take care!
