The kitchen adventures continue


Even though I'm not feeling so hot (see "wood floors" post), I am actually going to make dinner tonight. My sister-in-law Melinda has been staying with us—she's my excellent kitchen/children/conversation helper—so we made an outing to the grocery store and came home with:
  • cabbage
  • ground pork
  • green onions..................[for menu item #1]
  • water chesnuts
  • fresh ginger
  • sesame oil
  • (borrow wrappers from below)

  • cream cheese
  • imitation crab meat..........[for menu item #2]
  • wonton wrappers
  • (borrow green onions from above)
We didn't come home with rice, because we always have that on hand. We're gonna have ourselves a good ol' fashioned Asian fiesta. Even though I probably will not partake, my husband deserves it. He hasn't had dinner-made-by-me-at-home since Sunday.

[P.S. That reminds me…a thank you to the Harrises for the gigantic rice cooker you gave us…we use the thing at least once weekly. Gracias.]

I love making Asian/poly food....good homecooking for me. We ALWAYS have rice on hand as well. I remember growing up we always had rice in the rice cooker...we don't do that yet since we only have 2 small kids, but we have rice at least 3 times a week :). if you live in utah the best place for rice is in provo on university, a little asian store name Choas....mmmm...best rice EVER!
