As long as I'd pulled a particular 2018 issue of Cuisine at Home from the shelf, after our random dinner decision dice roll a few weeks ago, I thought it might guide me for a second night in a row over the Labor Day Weekend. That Saturday night, which was also the final day of August, I substituted ribeye for flank steak (gotta go with what's on sale!) but otherwise was pretty faithful to this first-time attempt of Beef Chow Fun. Those 'round the table said it was good, but I'm pretty sure it took a lot more work than my other stir-fry and wok meals and was not as good as those others. I won't expect to see this one show up again, but you don't know till you give it a go!
Since it was a Saturday night with out-of-town guests, and we are all the stay-at-home types, a movie was called for. In this case, it was A Quiet Place: Day One. But I also had to have dessert, you know. A homemade peach cobbler plus homemade vanilla sweet milk ice cream were an ideal combo as we trudged slowly into the final weeks of summertime.
