Angels + the Day after Christmas

I don't know why Christmas reminds me of guardian angels floating above us; I guess it's the magical feel in the cold air, the carols, and the very many lights hanging on trees, houses, and windows.

I found several beautiful angels making their appearances at the Rockefeller Center, and couldn't help but take a picture. Don't they bring a spiritual feel to the city?

On to other items, it was raining heavily on Saturday (the day after Christmas), and I decided to spend a good 1.5 hours in the kitchen, and try my hand at making pad thai. Only, I was unable to find the noodles used for pad thai at the grocery store.

So instead, I used a Japanese-style packet of noodles called Udon (I think that's how you spell it), and using the following ingredients*, I made Asian Style Noodle Stir Fry. Below is the end result. It tasted good, except the eggs appeared blended in the noodles, rather than in pieces (like in the restaurants)....Oh well. Next time, I think I will fry the eggs separately like in omelette mode, and then cut it in small pieces and mix it in the noodles.

* Ingredients used:

-one large red onion;

-five pieces of garlic & one green chilly blended;

- one carrot - shredded;

- one tomato - cut in small pieces;

- three mini packets of soya sauce;

- one lime;

- one tablespoon of hot sauce;

- one green paprika - cut in small pieces;

- one bowl of brussel sprouts;

- two eggs, and of course,

- the Japanese-style noodles.
