What's For Dinner #54 - The Leap Month Edition - February 2020

With the flu I had earlier this month, it wouldn’t have been much of a problem as it drove me to sleep most of the day. Like 20 hours. And when I was up, I had nothing to say.

In-laws arrived today. Food all afternoon and evening. Crudite with spinach-artichoke dip, wasabi almonds, and shrimp cocktail with horseradish remoulade (no pic). Then brined, rubbed pork rib roast, Austrian smothered Sauerkraut, green salad with blue cheese and French dressings, and roasted onions, shallots, and apples. A little black raspberry crostada for anyone with room (just the kiddo so far).

I’m sooooo EXCITED!

I tried cheung fun again with the new set of flours, and I LIKED the outcome!

It took a few rounds of tweaking - the first batch was a bit too sticky for me, so I added more rice flour and the next batch was better but a bit too dry, so I added a bit more tapioca flour, and the last batch was just right.

The last batch was actually spot-on texture-wise to my preferred dim sum version.

But in the meantime - YAY!

(Next step is to figure how to properly add fillings.)

I could happily eat at your house every night. The roast chicken and sides - yum.
