I think one of those numbers seems a bit too high

Made this with my kids. very easy to do, and there are enough steps where multiple helpers could get involved.

They had fun helping - whether it be mixing the beef, making the sauce, cutting the veggies, etc... Side note, I had t use green beans instead of scallions because we were out of scallions.

anyhow, they loved it! they're looking for other recipes to make next time too.

ingredients:

·         1 lb. lean ground beef

·         2 tsp minced ginger

·         3 cloves garlic, minced

·         1/2 cup low sodium soy sauce

·         1/4 cup brown sugar

·         3 tbsp hoisin sauce

·         1/4 cup water

·         2 tbsp cornstarch

·         1/4 tsp red pepper flakes

·         1/4 tsp black pepper

·         4 green onions, cut into 2 inch pieces

 

Instructions

Brown the ground beef along with the ginger and garlic in a skillet over medium-high heat, until beef is crumbled and cooked through. Drain any fat and return pan to stove top.

Combine the soy sauce, brown sugar and hoisin sauce in a small dish and pour into ground beef mixture. Cook for about 2 to 3 minutes to blend flavors. Meanwhile in a small dish combine the 1/4 cup water along with the 2 tbsp cornstarch. Pour the mixture into the ground beef and stir until sauce thickens.

Season with red pepper flakes, black pepper and green onions

Here's a twist I did on the lemon peppermint stick cocktail.

2oz peppermint vodka

0.75oz lemon juice

0.5oz Demerara syrup

3oz ginger beer

Combine vodka, lemon juice and syrup with ice into a shaking tin. Shake for 15 seconds, strain into a rocks glass. Top with ginger beer.

Mint as garnish (be sure to spank it first)

This was quite refreshing on a hot day.

1oz campari

1oz sweet vermouth

1oz club soda

Combine all ingredients with ice into a mixer, and stir until chill.

Strain into a rocks glass

Went to the Patapsco Valley State Park and hiked the Cascade Falls Trailhead. We came across these structures that seem to be pretty old, and we were debating on just how old they are. Unfortunately, there is no signage around them and one them was tagged with graffiti.

Curious to see if anyone here knows.

thanks!
