A Tour of the Orient

It's time for New Food Night again.  Well, actually we did it last night but I didn't have time to blog about it.  (And in case your are wondering if you missed a week; yes, you did. We skipped last week due to the holiday and other commitments).  I think you are going to like this weeks meal. 

We are having an Asian meal!


First up is Egg Rolls.  These were very good.  Stuffed with ground pork, cole slaw mix, freshly grated ginger and soy sauce. Yummers!!

We also had Beef Stir Fry - Flank Steak marinated in soy, Sherry, ginger, and garlic. Add some onions and peppers and cook up in the wok. If you remember from a few weeks ago, we had Tequila Lime Chicken.  Gary's liquor supply is expanding. 

When you have stir-fry you gotta have rice to go with it. This was just some rice cooked up in chicken broth. Nothing special.

Doesn't this look good?

And of course you need dessert. We had a 'traditional Southern Asian' dessert - Buttermilk Pie. Now we know that this probably is not the typical dessert but we like to mix things up. Miss Annette did an awesome job on this. She made the crust from scratch and it had butter and shortening and all the good stuff you shouldn't have. If you have never had Buttermilk pie you need to make one.  It was fantastic!

Annette, Chris and I had ours topped with fruit sauce and whipped cream.  Gary of course had his topped with chocolate.  

Now how many of you out there are wanting to join us for New Food Night?  Bet you wish you lived close enough to do so (and that we would invite you).
