Tuesday January 6, 2009 Dinner

Stir fry variant, using leftover hamburger.

• onion
• beef broth
• red wine
• garlic
• mushrooms
• 1/3 pound pre-cooked ground beef patty, chopped
• broccoli
• bok choy

Cooked together in the order listed. About 30 minutes total, but the first 15 was a simmer between beef and broccoli to reduce the liquids.

Enjoyed this with a glass of zinfandel. Would have been good over rice or noodles, but I am fighting a holiday bulge.

Saturday January 3, 2009 Dinner

Soft tacos: mixed up a little taco meat:

• quarter pound of ground beef
• diced onion
• chili powder
• fresh ground cumin
• salt & pepper
• squirt of catsup
• little water

Browned the burger and onions, then mixed everything else together and let it simmer until it looked right.

Served with olives, green onions, cheddar cheese, soft flour tortillas, homemade guacamole, sour cream, and BEER.
