T Stands For Tiny

The Eldest has developed an interest in cooking. I thought cooking lessons would make a fun Christmas gift except I couldn't find classes at a time that would accommodate her work schedule. She works late afternoon and night.

I saw a posting from a Facebook friend about a food service called Hello Fresh. You choose from several recipes, are sent all the ingredients, and necessary instructions. Everything is included in the box in the exact amounts you need so there's no waste. You know how some recipes call for 2 tablespoons of onion? What do you do with the rest of the onion? With this system no worries. All you need to supply is the labor and basic pantry ingredents like salt and pepper.

The Eldest has been enjoying her stint as chef. We've been enjoying dishes that have expanded our palate like Crispy Shrimp Tacos. It's been nice having a couple of weekends off from cooking and as an added bonus the tiny, ingredient jars. Aren't they cute? They are the perfect size for an inkwell.

Because the T stands for post must include something about a beverage along with the little jars,  the Maneki Neko (Japanese lucky cat) beckons you to join him for a mug of your favorite beverage. He's put a mug out just for you.

Drop by hosts, Bleubeard and Elizabeth's blog to find out what the rest of the T Stands For gang are up to. If you want to play, include in your Tuesday post a beverage or container for a beverage. Don't forget to link your blog to Bleubeard and Elizabeth's page.
