Today, I am making Swiss Steak which takes a long time for the meat to get tender.
I started about an hour ago by browning the meat (London Broil). Once it was browned I added a large can of diced tomatoes and a bit of water. Enough to cover the meat and now it is simmering. Later on I will add more tomatoes, onions, crushed garlic and sliced mushrooms. Fifteen minutes before serving, I will add a cup more or less of sour cream to finish it off and serve it over rice.
I thought I would share a piece of journal ephemera that I made and have included on one of the pages in the tall journal. I saw something similiar on a video not long ago and, as normal, tweaked it.
I began with a digital print of one of my own journal designs. It's not great but it worked for this...
I free hand cut into a shape I wanted...
Next, I inked around the edges as well as on part of the paper...
I wanted this to be a fold out on both sides, so I folded the paper and inked the folds on both sides...
I glued the first small fold from the left only to the page...
I added some ephemera to decorate. The foldout can be written on both sides. Here's how it is folded and how it unfolds...
