Last night; faux jian bing using a scallion pancake, egg, pork char siu, and scallions. Plus Sichuan chilli paste and hoisin sauce.
Tonight: dinner at a friend’s, full Bengali feast with 2 fish dishes - curry and fish head with vegetables, goat mangsho, goat biryani, chicken roast (which is really a gravy dish), and a few other things.
No pics of the meal, but she asked me to click dessert: gulab jamun, orange ricotta cake, and strawberry shortcakes.
My friend’s (adult) kid made the strawberry shortcakes from a NYT recipe, which I didn’t know was happening or I wouldn’t have stolen his thunder with the orange ricotta cake.
But like a good aunt, I ate his shortcake and not my orange cake (he ate the orange cake and not the shortcake, because he was disappointed with both the biscuit and the compote, poor kid, but I complimented everything appropriately and cleaned my plate to encourage him).
