It's Thyme already?!

Looked at my posts today and realized I have put ZERO up since last year. Shame on me!

Update:
1. We moved from NC to PA. That's right Phillerdelphia, lock up your daughters, we're back.
2. Please buy our townhouse in NC. It's adorable, the neighborhood is nice and there's stuff nearby. Even if you don't want to live there, you could rent it out... think of it as an investment.
3. We're still married.
4. I'm still cooking dinner.

Mister got a new job in Philadelphia and I was able to get a transfer so we're back near the city again. It was rather dreary and stressful for a couple months (who the HELL moves in January) but now it's gotten warmer, the trees and flowers are all in bloom and we're getting more settled into jobs and apartment living.

While unloading a bunch of boxes from the moving truck I almost won a Darwin award. 45degree ramp + dolly +100lbs of crap = more than me
So, the dolly knocked me off the ramp, all the boxes smashed open and I came away stripped of dignity with rips in my pants and blood all over the place. Perfect ending to an horrible 2 weeks.

But, there is hope! I found some in a bottle and some in remembering the bastardized recipe for beef stroganoff which now that I think of it, uses part of the bottle so really- Hope is solely related to the bottle.

Speaking of hope, we're going to take a little trip to New Hope, PA this weekend, it's a really nice little community of artist types and tons of nice little shops.

BUT, that has nothing to do with this:

Sauced Beef over Noodles (serves 2)
2 cups cooked wide eggs noodles
1 tsp oil
1 small fillet Mignon cut into cubes
1/2 cup sliced mushrooms (whatever kind you have)
1/2 cup beef broth
1/2 cup beef broth mixed with 2 tsps of corn starch
2 TBspns red wine (that you like to drink)
pepper & salt to taste
1 tsp chopped thyme (if you only have dried use 1/4-1/2 tsp)
2 TBspn 1/2&1/2 or cream
chopped parsley
optional:
finely chopped onion
2 cloves minced garlic

1. heat oil in pan and brown beef cubes (don't cook all the way through) transfer beef and accumulated juices into bowl and set aside
2. add mushrooms, onion and garlic, cook until softened and set aside in bowl with browned beef
3. add plain broth, red wine, spices to pan and scrape up any stuck bits
4. add the beef, mushrooms and any juices back into the pan
5. add broth with corn starch and mix
6. heat and stir until thickens and beef is cooked to your liking (if it thickens too much, add a tbspn of water at a time until you get the consistency you like)
7. add the cream and stir
8. serve over the cooked noodles
