On a twelve hour flight – as one might know – you either read for a few hours and fall asleep or watch television and nap in between the boring scenes or credits.  I managed to do all of it of course – but  actually was amazed at the selection of films I liked enough to recommend – just in case you have a planned movie night with your significant other.

Here’s a recipe I found, which should get me back on track Meat & Peppers 1 pound ground beef 2 medium bell Peppers, sliced in half 2 stalks green onion, sliced thin 2 teaspoons minced garlic 2 teaspoons minced ginger Salt and pepper to taste 8 large eggs Korean BBQ Sauce 1/3 cup sugar-free apricot preserves, like Polaner’s brand 1 ½ tablespoons rice wine vinegar 1 tablespoon Reduced Sugar Ketchup 1 tablespoon chili paste 1 tablespoon soy sauce (or coconut aminos) {more}
