Quick stir fry- Our family loves to go out to Chinese food restaurant. I make a stir fry for a fraction of the price it would cost to go out to a Chinese food restaurant. 
 Here is the recipe:
  • one pound of flank steak (or your choice of meat)

  • one beef bouillon cube, mashed
  •  sliced the following;green beans, cabbage, carrots, colorful sweet pepper, and one onion

  • 2. add beef and toss until well coated marinate for 35 min or more.

I love to collect tea cups- when I travel I like to look for tea cups at thrifts stores. Many time I find vintage fine china tea cups at a fraction of the price.
