.
Fish maw and crab meat soup, with a sprinkling of cilantro and minced ham on top.
.
Steamed beef meat balls - light and juicy!
The sauce was the liquid collected from the romaine lettuce
on the bottom of the plate with a little oyster sauce.
This was thickened with a thin cornstarch slurry.
.
Fermented tofu, aka Chinese cheese.
Salty and pungent, as in vegemite ;-)
Great by itself on steamed rice, or in congee, or stirred into green beans.
.
Stir-fried green beans with fu yu.
.
Congee: Rice, chicken stock, ground pork, "century egg"...
Chinese comfort food!
.
Congee topped with "Chinese cheese / fu yu - think vegimite"...
.
Shepherd's Pie - with ground beef and lamb...
.
Greek Moussaka
.
A moat with homemade Mac and 3-Cheddar Cheese
surrounding creamed salmon with corn...
Great lunch for a cold day
- another Hillman family traditional dish.
.
Beef and Bitter Melon stir-fry in black bean garlic sauce.
Love my crazy "take out" dishes!
.
Chong Fun: Steamed rice rolls with dried shrimp and green onion...
topped with homemade BBQ pork (char siu), sweet soy sauce, sesame oil,
and hot chili sauce - for brunch...YUM!
.
Beef and Soy Bean Sprouts...
.
Lap Cheung - Chinese sausage - cooked on top of the rice.
Bits of oil and spices seep down into the rice...YUM!
.
Lotus root soup with ground pork balls.
Kept it simple tonight - did not add re-hydrated octopus.
.
Pork steamed with preserved mustard greens and salted turnip
- another of my Mom's favourites that I used to cook for her
when she was in the personal care home.
.
Stir-fry of fresh lotus root, wood ear, sweet bell peppers, and sugar snap peas.
Great textures!
.
Grilled salmon, roasted vegetables, baby taters by Kenn Jarvin!
.
Salmon was perfect - silky!
.
Amazing apple cheddar cheese and bacon pie by Wendy Wood!
This would be so perfect for brunch.
We ate it with root beer ice-cream?!
.
Salmon was perfect - silky!
.
Kenn, Wendy, and the pampered one - ME! Love it when someone cooks for me:-)
.
After eating out for the last few days, I had to cook the "last supper" for November:
Breaded Italian pork chops with mushroom gravy, niblet corn,
Xtra Crispy Tater Wedges (McCain), and broccoslaw.
I picked up mango flavour dried cranberries and blueberries,
added some flaked coconut, and it was great with Mango Chipotle dressing -
my go-to by Kraft. The End!
