Week 14




Food
arugula
green beans
fingerling potatoes
kale
sunflower
turnips

This week I enjoyed testing my newly learned TTL flash photography knowledge, and created a mysterious turnip photo. It reminds me of Harry Potter for some reason.

In terms of food, everything has been pretty basic, and I have been chomping away at the arugula.

Recipe
(May's Cooking Light)
Serves 4
salt 
pepper
ground fennel seeds
cumin
4 tsp olive oil, halved
16 oz beef tenderloin
1 cup arugula
1 bulb fennel
mayonnaise
crusty bread

1. Heat 2 tsp of olive oil in a pan. Add 1/4 to half of the herb mixture. Add thinly sliced fennel. Cook for 15 - 20 minutes.
2. Use the rest of the herb mixture to coat the beef tenderloin. Cook in a pan, roughly 4 minutes per side. Once done, let sit 10 minutes and then thinly slice.
3. On sliced bread, add 1 tsp of mayo (I made homemade out of lemon juice, salt, 1 egg, and canola oil), 1/4 of the cooked fennel, 1/4 of the arugula, and 1/4 of the beef. YUMMY!
