Shrimp and Chicken LoMein....

A little of this, a little of that, and add some red pepper, scallions, sprouts and seasoning, you get one tasty Lo Mein for supper last night. It's as good as Take Out.....



Cooking is one activity that I and the Hubby enjoy doing together. He is a awesome cook and loves trying new things. This recipe is one we fix quite regularly.


It's even better if you open a nice bottle of wine to enjoy while prepping the recipe. ;)


The chicken looks fantastic in the wok after marinating in the Hoisin sauce 30 minutes.

This delicious meal is simple to make and a nice change up from the usual meal planner.... We will add what ever we have in the fridge. This had red bell pepper, scallions,sprouts, shrimp and chicken breast. Enjoy.... Please feel free to share and comment.

  Hi, I'm Lori. Glad you stopped by....        I share my life and dreams with my hubby Pat. I'm a wife, mother of our four, a grandma of two, a farm girl and a   follower   of   the road less traveled.  A lover of animals, gardening, cooking and vintage finds... Sharing our adventures (the good, the bad and the ugly) and lessons along the way.                                                                                                                                               Our 20 acre farm   "North by Northwest Farm"   is located in the Oregon Outback. Our plan in 2005 when we bought our land was focused towards retirement. Our goal was to grow as much of our own food as possible  and work towards self - s ufficiency...  Through the years we have built barns and   fences in our pastures, built chicken coops and duck runs, planted fruit trees and have expanded and improved  our   vegetable   gardens each year.  We share our farm with

Bidding Adieu to January..... The month in review.

Image
January 2016 blew in with a vengeance here on the Farm... But that never stop Half Pint from accompanying me on morning chores... The walk from the house to the chicken coop every morning was an adventure... With average snow depth of four feet, you went out prepared for anything... The Ducks didn't seem to mind the snow at all... They love to snuggle in... I think their only complaint could be is that their run and house was buried in 4-5 feet snow most of the month... Many a morning was spent digging them out... Watering the animals is always fun when the weather gets so cold that the "Frost Free" faucets freeze,,, Carting five gallon buckets from the house became the norm... Lots of beautiful sunrises were to be had in January... The sun seemed to dance off the blanket of snow... Tempers did flare when barn doors became frozen shut, (I won't be naming names) Or when somebody dare challenge the hierarchy in the barn.... B

Choices.... A letter to a friend.

, Chores complete.... Wood brought in and I am back inside enjoying the warm fire and a cup of coffee while catching up on emails.... I've been emailing back and forth with a old friend who I grew up with. Catching up on her family and our lives on the farm since our "big move" (as its become to be known as), to Oregon from California back in 2005.... She and her husband have been talking about making a life change, but haven't taken the final step.   I remember her joking with me in 2004 about us moving out to the boonies and becoming hermits... Now, they are looking at their hurried and stressful lives and are asking the same question that we asked ourselves in 2004, "Do we want to spend the rest of our lives living this kind of life".  She confided how much they admire us... How they have been considering moving to the country and buying a place.     She summed up her email with,  "You seem so happy and content".  "Do you have any
