I love colorful food.
I love fast food.
No, not that kind (well, okay, occasionally….)
I mean the kind that cooks quickly.
Stir-frying is fast, easy and the perfect way to fix fresh, tender spring vegetables. They cook in minutes and retain all their bright spring colors.
Well, the pepper isn’t a spring vegetable, but isn’t it pretty?

It’s time for trim.
This is the last bit of the last room.
Sadly, for mon mari, that means that he no longer can have any of his power tools handy, All the equipment is back down in the barn and he gets to go up and down the rickety barn stairs for every cut for every piece of trim.
The girls and I stay out of his way….
But he does nice work, doesn’t he? This is the bit in all the corners to fasten the trim to.
It’s a little dusty at the moment……
The bench is coming along nicely.It’s going to be a very long chest with a false bottom as all the plumbing for the guest bathroom is along that wall….
He tells me these access points are important.
I’m just happy for the storage.
We’re getting close…..
It is looking great Katie! Love your stir fry too – so quick and easy but full of flavor!
Yum! We got a barbecue (or, more accurately, replaced ours) last year, and I will have to try a pork tenderloin — haven’t done that yet. Are you able to buy all of the ingredients locally or do you have to order them on Internet? Asian ingredients are fairly hard to come by here.
Ina, it really is my favorite way with most vegetables.
Betty, pork tenderloin is my favorite for on the grill. I don’t get much locally – there is a fantastic, huge Asian supermarket in Bordeaux and we get up there a few times a year… I stock up.
