Rain's Thursday Art and Dinner Date - Veggie art and A Stir Fry

Welcome to Rain's Thursday Art and Dinner Date! I am showing some pattypan squash for the 'Veggie' art theme this week (ACEO 2 1/2" x 3 1/2").  It came to mind when I saw chef Jamie Oliver demonstrating the use of them as a raw salad on TV!  He cut these little squashes into small pieces and dressed them with a delicious salad dressing!  Most people probably cook their squash first.  I found it interesting and will try if I ever find some pattypan squash this fall!

 For Dinner Date, I did an egg and tomato stir fry.  I had an overripe tomato and didn't want it to go to waste.  I found this recipe for an egg and tomato stir fry and thought it would make a perfect lunch for me.  It was good.  

I adjusted the recipe to use one tomato as follows:

1 tomato

1 green onion diced

2 eggs

salt and pepper to taste

1/2 tsp sesame oil

1 tsp Chinese cooking wine

2 tbs oil

1 tsp sugar

1/4c water

Scramble the eggs with salt, pepper, sesame oil and cooking wine.

Chop the tomato, add the diced green onion, sugar, salt and pepper.  

Saute in oil, add 1/4c water.  Mix in the cooked eggs for another couple of minutes.  

Enjoy!  It is good served with rice.
