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.
