Menu of the week - February 22nd 2010

Breakfast: wheat bread plus something that I will get from the market later
Lunch: buttered tofu cubes and gai lan and spaghetti and parmesan shavings and one banh gio


We had our choir's Mardi Gras party on Saturday and it was an appetizer+dessert event. I brought the soup dumplings from Qing Hua and our host has these little spoons he bought for a Foie Gras Creme Brulee and they were perfect to serve these dumplings. I had one person holding a long white platter with 12 spoons and small bowls of soy sauce and hot sauce and another person with a plastic box to collect the used spoons. People kept asking if I made them and then where they could get more.


I also brought two tarts from Romados and they were also well received. There are more marzipan lovers out there than I thought. At $10 a pie for 12 people it was also a steal.
