The other day my wife made us an  Aspargas and Mushroom  Risoto  supper.

I was not thinking that I would like it. .....  turns out it was.  fantastic !   

♡  She bought some fresh asparagus and added it to a mushroom risoto from Giant Eagle  plus  our own fresh herbs and spices

I  am  eating better  ~and~  healthier than ever in my 73  years on  this  planet.

Oh it was  -so-  delicious.

︎ This is a recipe that I personally really like the   ◆ MONGOLIAN BEEF  ◆   ( also close to another favorite of mine  ◆  HUNAN BEEF  ◆ oh yes.)  

It truly is quick, easy and delicious, try it !  

Wat omething quick, easy and delicious ?   Try one of my favorites,  yes   ︎ MNGOLIAN BEEF ︎  great for any quick  GAMEDAY  get-together  or familyeal.  And see our handy  ◆ Kitchen Notes  ◆  below for more information.

   ◆ SERVE  4   ◆  COOK TIME  10  MINUTES   ◆

Big flavor, little time. Now that's a combination we will always love. This ◆ MONGOLIAN BEEF ◆  recipe is a take-out classic. Grab your chopsticks (or your forks, if you prefer) and chow down on this tasty, homemade dish with your family. 

◆ SERVES  4  ◆   COOK TIME  10 MINUTES  ◆

  ◆  What You'll Need

• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce (see Note)
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 1/2 pound boneless top sirloin, cut into thin slices
• 4 scallions, cut diagonally into 1-inch slices
• 4 cups cooked rice, warmed

  ◆  What to Do

1. In a medium bowl, whisk cornstarch, broth, soy sauce, sesame oil, and hoison sauce; set aside. 
    
2. In a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat, heat vegetable oil until hot. Add beef and stir-fry 2 to 3 minutes, or until no longer pink. Remove from skillet.
    
3. Add broth mixture to skillet and heat until thickened. Add beef back to skillet along with scallions, and heat 2 minutes, or until heated through. Serve over rice. 

  ◆  Kitchen Notes

• Don't let the hoisin sauce in this simple stir-fry scare you. You can find it at your local supermarket in the Asian food section. It's a sweet and spicy sauce that adds big flavor to the dish and will keep in the fridge for the next time you need it.
   
• Who doesn't enjoy a bowl of Wonton Soup at the start of an Asian meal?! Give our easy version a try!

Any of you guys watch cooking shows? It’s sort of a Sunday morning thing my gf and l do, and much to her chagrin it’s how l discovered Mary Berg. She’s a total dreamboat my dudes. Very animated, kinda nerdy, and very charismatic with great facial expressions. I could watch her for hours. 

She’s Canadian, so that’s close to Cleveland, right? 

Yep welp, linky mclinkerson…

That was good   - and -  who would have thought it  another  5-0  run defecit against the same WSX only this time they went to extra innings to win it in an exciting finish in front of only  12,405  fans and win it and to go to (9-3).

Next up -3- versus the Yankees,  we will see how good our young Guardians really are ..... for the third year in a row the youngest team in all of the AL baseball.

Somehow they just seem older but playwith that young excitement in them.

GO TRIBE !

Yankee's will be a test.
