My sister is actually in town, call it leftover from our Mother's Day adventure. She goes to school down in Mankato, so for her to spend a few days up here in the action is pretty rare. So she hangs out at my apartment with Sheldon as I do the whole 8-5 thing. Then we hang out, like last night, with good TV and bad Chinese food. Or should I say bad TV and good Chinese food? I love Mondays.
Because I actually want to live to see 30, I prepped my body for Grease Overload 2010 with steamed broccoli, cabbage, onions and eggplant. Drizzled with hoisin sauce because it is a Chinese-themed meal after all.
Some people start their meals with salad. I apparently start with steamed veggies.
Then came the deliciousness that is Chinese delivery. My sister and I split veggie lo mein and some spring rolls--vegetarian of course. Now Hilary (Cute, huh? I'm Heidi, she's Hilary. Our parents are so clever.) isn't a vegetarian. She's quite the opposite. She prides herself on being addicted to meat. And I'm okay with that.
Do you see how those noodles glisten? That's grease glisten.
And no, I really don't want to have a conversation about how ginormous that portion is. Nor do I want to discuss how many additional plates of said grease glisten I devoured throughout TV Marathon Monday Night. I'll let your mind wander.
Anyone else have any really bad TV they'll admit to watching? Specifically, anyone want to do some speculating as to who we think is getting the ring in next week's Gossip Girl finale?
I think The Hills takes the proverbial cake for "really bad tv." And yes, I enjoy it! Your glistening chinese food looks yummy, I looove veggie lo mein. No need to apologize for going back for more deliciousness!
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of starting your meal out with steamed veggies instead of a salad. I'm not a salad girl though so anything besides a salad sounds good haha :)
ReplyDeleteare you kiddng me?? grease shine is the best kind!!!! MMM! and bonus is you wont need lip shine after- lo mein lip gloss! im a genius!

ReplyDeleteI have to admit that I was addicted to Farmer Wants a Wife. So bad! The CW has such quality shows you know ; )

I totally forgot GG was on last night, which is probably a good thing since I have some SERIOUS catching up to do- I haven't watched an episode since spring break! Good thing I don't have much to do this week, I can get all caught up before the finale :)
ReplyDeleteLove the steamed veg! I am addicted to Gossip Girl and 90210, my guilty pleasure TV!
ReplyDeleteI never cook rhubarb - My MIL makes a lot of pie, so I have that often from her. :) I've also had it stewed - I think it would be great on ice cream, or with oatmeal, on cake, or custard.
ReplyDeleteYou could use it with squares, like any other fruit I think...but it isn't as sweet as other fruit, so you need sweeteneer or, combine it with other fruit. Strawberries are great, maybe banana that are over ripe, because they're so sweet?
