WIP

(in case you weren't sure WIP = Work In Progress)

i'm making some fingerless gloves for my secret santa using this pattern. i didn't have the right size needle and didn't feel like driving the 25 minutes back to Joann's for the second time in a week, so i'm adjusting a bit to make it work with even smaller needles.

in other news, here is my current list of things i want/need from Texas:
1. trip through HEB - look for bulk yeast and stock up on loose tea
2. mexican food - preference given to Chuy's big as yo' face burrito and creamy jalapeno dip
3. raspberry chipotle dip
4. trip to Ikea for textiles and magazine boxes
5. trip to Hancock fabrics for textiles

ginger chili lime green beans

we made these a few nights ago with annie's whole wheat macaroni and salmon. it was a great twist on green beans.
here's how to do it:

fresh green beans/chinese long beans/french green beans (enough for 4 servings)
1 tsp sriracha chili sauce
1 tsp lime juice
1/8 tsp ginger
olive oil

in a skillet over medium heat, toss green beans with a little olive oil to coat. add chili sauce, lime juice and ginger. stir to coat evenly and lower heat to medium-low. cook 10 minutes or until green beans are tender but still crispy. enjoy!
