yes, i know, technically this isn't a blog about the food SANDY cooks, but i was gone for lunch today and i decided to heat up a little left over beef stewishness cooked in red wine (hong jiu - if i remember correctly). (yes, i DO eat meat - especially when i know less about how they hacked it up - or WHERE they hacked it up - eg. out in the open air market where there's lots of coughing and sneezing going on) TIC, dontchaknow... even jack liked this the first go 'round.
was going to have a lovely piece of crusty bread i baked to go with it, but i think the varkenfather ate the rest of the loaf for breakfast. sigh...
but i did use some of our fresh veggies in the initial offering. nothing green today either.
carrots - hu luo bo (hoo loo-oh boh)
mushrooms - mo gu (you know this - moh gooh)
tomatoes - xi hong shi (shee hong shhhhhh - don't forget that soft ending!!)
garlic - da suan (dah sooy ahn)
cow meat - niu rou (nee-oooh - ryooh)
and yes. i am quite aware that the plate is one of my tapas plates. but i didn't want to eat much. and it certainly is a change of plate pace, eh?
just as aside, today was the day the pork liver was cooked. i think i made a very wise choice heading out this afternoon...
