I'm still moving into/unpacking my new studio space, and it seems like that's where most of the creative energy is going. Sometimes I have to pick what is going to get full attention, and the last few days, food has not been it. It's times like these when I actually forget to eat, or wonder why the carrot sticks and hummus I ate four hours ago aren't giving me the energy required to move six shopping bags of coffee-table-sized art books.
Tonight was no better and I was faced with figuring out something to make for dinner. Now, today was not all sweat and hard work. It was 70 and sunny. The second of such days after months of cold, grey rain and snow. I was distracted to say the least. So, late in the afternoon, when a friend that I haven't seen in a while texted and said she was going to be in the neighborhood, possibly with a chilled bottle of white wine, I headed home and cleaned off some chairs for us to sit on in the garden. Yay! The first spring garden party! (more on our"garden" in a future post).
Back to dinner...
It's time again for "what's in the pantry?" Unfortunately, I don't have photos of tonights feature. The dish I made, is one I make for myself for lunch or sometimes even for breakfast because it's pretty easy and is satisfying. I think it's pretty good for you too.
To start, I sauted green onions, shiatake mushrooms, garlic and ginger together. In the same pan, I scrambled some eggs and then tossed it all with green tea buckwheat noodles with sesame oil and tamari. Start to finish, it took maybe 14 minutes. The noodles only take about 4-5 mins. to cook, so the longest portion of cooking is waiting for the water to boil. Not all that exciting, but it tastes good and feels substantial without being heavy.
This week I need to restock the pantry. I've been relying heavily on it and it doesn't just replenish itself.
I do have a few photos of our Sunny Seattle Sunday(yesterday) from Pike Place Market.

Hope it's sunny and warm where you are!

LOVE the chair photo! My verification word was "tationer". nice, huh?
Sunny and warm! We hit 93 yesterday, very windy and humid. It almost felt like the wind we have before a hurricane!
But today's high is in the low 70s and it is still very windy so it feels a lot cooler than that!
