Main Menu

So this is the menu we ordered from. Only the people who could read Chinese in our group actually could order so they made suggestions.

This is what we got back

Eggplant and Tofu- This was really very good.

Pork with mushrooms and Tea

More pork and chicken with vegetables.

Scads of rice.
I have an Asian Experience cookbook and If i had more time or patience I could make my chicken as great as theirs.
Maybe soon.
So I have to say. The food was good but the company was even better. I haven't laughed that much in a long time. Prof and the rest had great funny stories. I actually really loved it.

My soup

Was really good. I had to divide this one lunch up into a few posts because there was a lot going on.

So I like soup but I couldn't eat too much because we had those wraps.
Then the soup and the main course was to follow. So I just had this.

I put some of their hot pepper in this..It was hot but for me very bearable. Only T and I had the peppers they put on the table.

Peking Duck

The last time I cooked duck it was such a disaster.

In the future I will try again and this time I will follow some recipe. I have watched enough food network and prof told me how to do it.

They usually don't let you have Peking duck at lunch but we could because of prof. So sweet.

SO they carved it in front of us and made wraps with these pancake things...so good.

Yeh It's Christmas

So they decided to decorate cookies. I liked it, but then I really couldn't eat the decorated cookies.
1. Too Pretty


2. Something about the colors of the icing made me feel it wasn't safe to ingest it...Too much
something for the color..I dunno what chemical they used but it was intense....

But we had fun and talked and laughed

The green Cookies were very good and the snikerdoodles too, but you all know my fav :)
That's right...Chocolate Chip

I'm tired...

Pork and cookies

I prefer the Fresh Food Place for lunch these days. The guy at the main food station was serving Pork. I didn't want pork, so I got a plate of his cooked carrots.
He smiled and said he was proud of me for eating my veges lol (they always think I am a kid)

Then I had salad.
Then I had Philly steak without the bread.
Well I shouldn't say then. I had it all together.
They have the best desserts there.
I couldn't eat it so I took it with me.
These are the SOFT baked cookies.
Sooooo Soooooo yummy.

You can tell I didn't make this

But I wish I had.
L'h F had this for dinner last night.

I am a little envious.

Hungarian Beetroot soup

K. had it
Beets, caulifower, all kinds of sausage, potato, red beans.

Hearty and smells soooo good.
I love soup.

Waited all day

Just for this nice spicy soup...sooo good

So comforting..so yummy

I didn't eat this...

We had it so we took pictures of it..now we smell like this...Thankfully it's fresh

I liked the eye a lot

We had to take pics of the scale of it

I like the pretty color of the fish.

Strawberry cake again

This time from the box--Still very very very yummy

So zip zip

Mix Mix


Bake Bake

Glaze

Cut Cut



Voila. I made the glaze myself with powdered sugar water and a dash of lemon juice.

Hot Pepper Sauce

I used Scotch bonnet pepper so this may be scorching hot for many people.

I use it to season my meat before I cook it, but I also put it on my normal food to eat..so hot but sooo good :)

At lunch

This caught my eye :)

Bethie and I talked about the thing we went to and her being a vegan.

I tasted the stuffing.

I think there was meat in it and Bethie didn't realise :(

Finally

Got to cook again. It's been a while.

So I did my veges and chicken.
So good.

Enough for the week maybe

Dark Chocolate

I had some a couple weeks ago and I have been wanting it ever since.
I dunno. I was never a big chocolate eater, and then I went to that place that sells the stuff all organic. I bought it there and ate some every day for a week. That tasted so good.

David in the main office keeps Hersey's Dark Chocolate in a bowl on his desk. It's never empty and he encourages sneaking handfuls of it away when he is and isn;t looking.
LOL..I think I am done with handfuls.
I had four and ate them without knowing I ate them all.
Not good....
Dean and DeLuca of course have scads of chocolate. I think looking is enough..but now I am hooked on dark chocolate
Sorry milk chocolate...you had a good run

Hahah

This is sooo funny. Sis I only took the quiz once and this is what I got!



We Can't all be Chocolate Chip! :)

My soup

Oh last night was cold and my soup was so warm and spicy and good
I made a tiny dark spicy roux, added some cream of celery soup and let it heat for maybe 1 minute with constant stirring.

Then I added water brought to a boil and added shrimp
When the shrimp were cooked to soft perfection (3 minutes later)

Then I ate some
Soo good and warm...made me sleepy

Movie Set Food

So good
So much variety and a ton of it!

I had this with fruit

This is some cheese cake

So good

But made my stomach hurt
I had no acidophilus with me
It hurts :(
But then I remember how good it was :)
I won't have anymore for a while
What is the deal with my stomach?
