What's For Dinner? (Part Deux)

You know what's awesome? These puppies!

Why? Well, first of all, they are magnetic, that is awesome for so many reasons. They stick together wonderfully in the drawer so you don't have to go hunting for that quarter teaspoon but you can separate them easily for use! (Read that as - you don't have to wash them ALL because you dirtied one spoon.) I also really love the oval shaped spoons because they fit wonderfully in spice jars. 

I thought that I would bring the "What's for Dinner?" post back for round two this week. I had a lot of fun with it and it is definitely a great way for me to learn how to use our monstrously intimidating camera and Lightroom.

So, without further ado, I give you What's For Dinner (Part Deux)!

Main Course: From biggest bowl to smallest we have white rice, kimchi, eggs, soy sauce, and sesame seed oil. This is followed by scallions and sesame seeds.

Side Dish: The unlabeled ingredients are (from left to right, top to bottom) scallions, soy sauce, BACON, sugar, ground ginger, and garlic.

For the side dish I deviated from the recipe a little bit by using bacon (in place of an unnamed sea creature). I am so glad I did. Bacon was a delicious substitute!

I hope everyone has a great day! Good luck!

Finally! Finally I have reupholstered my dining room chairs AND blogged about it!! Goodbye ugly microfiber butt prints!!

Without further ado...I give you my new chairs!

Here is a close up of the pattern. I love it. I managed to get that big flower bud part in the same general spot on each chair. It's a very nice sturdy fabric that has already stood up to having green beans spilled all over them! (Thanks Tristan!) :D

I got this awesome fabric for 50% off at JoAnn Fabrics, it's made by Waverly I believe. I am still in love with these chairs. I get very happy whenever we get to use the dining room. :)

Have a wonderful night!

*Please forgive the rather terrible picture quality. I am learning how to use Lightroom and I think I am color blind.

What's For Dinner?

Edit: Go to the bottom of this post for the answer!

This is!

While I was practicing mise en place, preparing everything for tonights dinner, I diced up a few things and started thinking that the colors were just brilliant and would make a pretty picture. Then a little idea hatched... I thought it would be fun to snap some shots of all of the ingredients for a meal and see if you guys could guess what the final dish was!

Here is the updated picture labeling all of the spices and rather difficult to guess ingredients.

Give it a go! Good luck!

I am getting the hang of blogger and their iPhone app so here is a picture of Zoë. It took a bag of treats to get her to pose for me! Totally worth it!
