Marvelous Monday Update 8/4/08

I had a rather uneventful week and weekend. I did get LOTS of stitching in on JG (see previous post). Other than that, it was the usual housecleaning, laundry, and yard mowing activities.


Stitchy Stuff
I found these things at a second-hand store on Friday. I figure the box can be stained with stitching put on top. The little brush is a nap brush for "fluffing up" fibers. I got both of these for a whopping 80cents, including tax!




Yum-Yums
I *really* need to go to the grocery store! I *really* dislike going. On Sun, I was *really* hungry. (LOL, see the theme?) So, I scoured the pantry and decided to make fried rice. A few carrots, green beans, onion, scrambled eggs, ground turkey and rice... viola!

In addition to soy sauce and assorted spices, I had two packets of Oriental Sesame dressing from Wendy's that I added. Quite tasty for something I just threw together!

What great little 2nd hand finds, especially the nap brush.

Your fried rice looks yummy! I'm not much of a grocery shopping fan either.

First - yum, yum! Looks scrumptious.
Second - what a deal for the box and brush.

Nice finds Meari!! I love browsing charity shops. Good meal, might even try it for the kids - lots of 'hidden' vegetables are possible with that sort of cooking :o)

What great buys you made. Just love the box and brush. And your fried rice sure looks yummy. I don't mind going to the grocery store anymore, but I HATED going when I was younger and shopping for my family of 4. UGH!!!

Lovely box and I'm sure you'll turn it into something even lovelier!

Your meal resonated here--DH is the chef, and the stuff he comes up with from scratch is amazing (although he would never even **buy** ground turkey; apparently the turkey-hating gene runs strongly in the male line in his family :-)

I also enjoyed your "Something for the Woman Inside Us." You're making my day!
