Bell Peppers and Shrimps Stir Fry

in #food5 days ago

Good Morning, Friends!

Another smoggy morning here in BC, Canada. My heart goes out to those who are evacuated, to those who are affected, and to the firemen as well. Crazy time for everyone, it has become an annual occurrence now, wildfires and abundant worries 😟

I had to puff myself twice yesterday. My chest was in pain, couldn't breath freely, due to the smokey air 😕 Later around 6 PM I could finally go out to the backyard to water my plants. In the morning and throughout the day, I had to calm down my breathing after being out for a mere 5 mins. Crazy smoggy day, it was the school even had an inside day 😵‍💫 Today is smoggy as well, but less smokey smell in the air, and kids are outside, so that's a good sign. Maybe I don't need to puff myself today, hopefully!

Back to recipe sharing. A simple stir fry that everyone like in this house 😊
