Veggie Stir Fry

Meatless Monday was also clean out the odds and ends day.  I had several items I needed to use (2 onion halves, some broccoli, 2 green pepper halves etc...), so improvised a stir fry.  I am no Asian cooking master, but I thought I didn't acquit myself too badly.  I could stand to improve on this one;).
