Frog bowls and peanut sauce

So, here is the bowl with two frogs and his little brother, the chopsticks bowl with ONE frog. I mean, why wouldn't I make bowls with cute little frogs? But how, you say, do I use that nifty little item?
Try Gary’s Chinese noodles, veggies and peanut sauce!!!!
--boil ½ pound of pasta
--chop some veggies, Sunday I used: green beans, onions, tomato--saute the onions awhile, toss in the green beans, when it has fried for a couple of minutes, toss in the tomatoes and some peanuts, remove from heat
--in a little chopper or blender or cuisineart type thing add:
½ cup peanut butter
at least 2 garlic cloves
1/8 c red wine vinegar
1/8 c lime juice
2 tbsp. soy sauce, or more if you wish
as many shakes of hot sauce as you can manage
as much ginger as you like
¾ cup olive oil
grind into a lovely sauce!
Take out the finished pasta and put it into FROG SERVING BOWL, top with veggies, then top with peanut sauce and then spoon into small FROGGY BOWL
Oh man, too good.

That does sound EXCELLENT. Does it taste different if it's NOT in froggy bowls?

I should mention 2 things: thank you both for stopping in, lovely to have such nice visitors. Secondly, our sauce last night was very thick. If you want to thin it a bit (we did not!!! yummo!)
add a little warm water and a little more lime juice. Not too much.
Gee, of COURSE it tastes better in frog bowls, whaddya think I'm gonna say?

I thought it looked a little like peanut butter...

:: sigh ::

Celeste, it IS peanut butter, whipped up with a lot of other stuff, which the patient reader would discover upon looking at the recipe....

Hmm, I am the only one in my family who would even consider eating this (except for maybe the "baby"). But I'm definitely going to try it some time.

Tony, maybe you say: hey kids! peanut butter spaghetti!

I dunno cm, celeste is a bit of a mystery woman, but we all know she is pretty darn good at Scrabble. She probably went to Queens Univ in Kingston.

That would explain the peanut butter comment.

Oh yeah, that's right, Queens is where all the people who didn't get into McGill go....
