Butrfly's Wonderings

Mmmm, mmm mmm! I just invented the oddest pork stir fry I've ever had. It's the end of the month and my produce and pantry items are dwindling down while I try to make them stretch until the first week of next month when there should be a lot of good after-holiday sales to restock with. This makes for some inventive cooking so I sliced up a gigantic onion, 5 cloves of garlic and fried them in some butter and olive oil. Then added a half-pound of pork loin strips, some herbs de Provence and stirred until the pork was browned. I added some frozen green beans and shredded 4 lemons on the shoestring potato blade of my mandolin and added that to the concoction with about half a cup of orange juice and a teaspoon of mustard. The mixture simmered until the sauce reduced enough to coat the bits.

Mmmmm mmmm mmmm! I had to write that one down so I could do it again. I think it would be good as a sauce over some noodles too.

The burns on my arm are starting to heal a bit. If I'm careful, I can type and use the mouse as long as I have on a thick gauze bandage to protect the tender spots.
