The things I do for the blog..

Well I don't know about you, but I had quite the day! Jonha and I decided to go thrift store shopping and we got some good finds. I bought a Wok!! I was skeptical at first but its got all the accessories and it looks like it's in really good shape--the kicker-only TEN bucks! Woot! There has been a wok in my life, my dad's a master at it-and finally I can give it a shot myself! I'm very excited if you can't tell.
Here's my fantastic find! And all it's little accessories which if I'm going to be honest I had to do a little googling to figure out what everything is! I seasoned it tonight with oil and cant wait to use it! I'm thinking a beef stir fry and I cant wait to see how it turns out!

So for tonight I didn't make stir fry, Jonha and I had quite a big lunch at a Chinese restaurant downtown so just made something little for dinner--so I made Zucchini Sticks! The healthier version of Mozzarella sticks and it was great! But while deciding I was going to make these I realize (Gasp) I used the last two eggs on the cookies last night. No regrets though, my boyfriend seems to think they're the best cookies on earth. So it was do or die, I had to go out AGAIN to pick up some eggs or leave the Zucs till tomorrow. So I put Friends on pause and walked down the street to pick up eggs.

A dozen eggs =1.19 plus tax
A walk down the street=a slight blister and some stares from creepy people
Standing in line at Rite Aide=10 minutes longer than it shoulda taken
Making Zuc sticks for my blog=PRICELESS :)

Couldnt resist...but just showing you what I went through for you guys...all five of my faithful readers! So if you get the chance make these! I left them in a little longer than the recipe but they were great! I used my favorite spicy basil sauce to dip=amazing! So summer is the perfect time for zucchini and if you don't know what to do with them like I sometimes dont--make these!
