Asian cucumber salad, et al.

In case you haven't heard, people often put their best face forward on the internet. I have certainly posted the less positive happenings in my life, but when it comes to things I have made in the kitchen, I keep it purely to the success stories. Here are some recent ones.

My new favorite way to eat cucumbers. I julienne them with the mandoline I got for Christmas. Then I add some garlic roasted sesame seeds (I bought them this way, I don't roast my own sesame seeds), rice wine vinegar, sesame oil, and a dab of Sriracha for spice...oh, and some chopped green onions if you have them. I loooooove me some sesame.
It is cucumber spaghetti! Come to think of it, that might be a fun silly way to cut cucumbers for kids old enough to chew their food adequately...
Do not worry - I evened out the healthiness with a bacon wrapped filet because, well, they are only a few dollars at Aldis. It was delicious.

Other successes that are making it more difficult to fit back into my skinny pants...

Guinness brownies and Chai spiced blondies.

Sign me up for a bacon wrapped filet... and brownies.... and blondies. Sounds tasty, except for that thing that grew in the dirt :-)
