While I was really tempted to post a recipe for strawberry margaritas or this really good watermelon slush I made recently, I resisted because I realized that almost every recipe I've posted so far has been sweet and frozen.

Instead, I want to share the snap pea, asparagus, and mushroom stir-fry I made tonight as a side for some flank steak.  I've made this stir-fry tons of times, and I think I've finally gotten it perfected.

The original recipe is from Martha Stewart, and although Martha is a saint I like the stir-fry with some mushrooms added, less spiciness, and more garlic.
