This is Kevin, the husband, taking over the food blog responsibilities. After almost a year of inactivity on the site (plus Hei forgetting the login and passwd), we are back in action.
This one is entitled "Happy Birthday Karen!!"
In attendance are Karen, Becky, Andrew, Kevin and Hei.
Andrew's dish is a sandwich. Most of time, when we hear the word sandwich, one word comes to mind "dull". But when you add dinner to the word sandwich, this word comes to mind, "BORING". However, Andrew did surprise us by making the sandwich from the movie Spanglish. See recipe.
This was a GREAT sandwich. Andrew did an excellent job of cooking this dish and it wasn't easy. Bravo to Andrew!!
Next was Karen's veggie dish. We needed some veggies to add to menu. Karen simply stir fried some pea pods and red peppers with some sesame seeds as the base of the dish.
Yummy as always because Karen cooks so well.
Next was Hei's Mixed Mushroom Udon Mein. This is one of Hei's favorite noodles. And since Hei loves mushrooms and loves udon, this is a perfect combination!! It's a mix of inoki and shitake mushrooms stir fried after cooking the udon. Add some oyster sauce and I think some soy sauce, and we have a simple yet delicious dish.
(Note: Hei did not eat the pot.)
My dish was a simple bacon wrapped shrimp. I decided to do a honey barbeque sauce with it. And since it was something sweet, Becky likes it because Becky loves sweet food. Initially, I thought everything was going great. I did realize, I added too much honey and it was too sweet. Becky commented that there's no such thing as too sweet. At least one person won't be disappointed.
Sorry the picture was so dark. Who was this idiotic photographer that didn't know how to use a camera? (that would be me)
Happy Birthday Karen, can't wait to do this type of thing again with you!!!
