It just occurred to me that I haven't blogged much about cooking or hosting; yet, I actually quite enjoy doing both. I cook regularly, and like to try new recipes. And, I often have people over. For fun, I do peruse recipe books, just to get new ideas; and I like to check out recipes and cooking ideas on the web. I especially enjoy cooking all kinds of food from around the world.
Just yesterday, I hosted my family get-together. It was a Chinese dinner. I made a variety of dishes, and they generally turned out fairly well. There are just a few "lessons learned":
- For the Mushroom and Pea Soup, next time, I would reduce the number of mushrooms and amount of peas; so that there would be more of the broth
- For the Tofu Hotpot, I would cook the carrots and tofu longer; and put the bok choy in later
- For the Mixed Vegetables, I don't need to add the canned mixtures
- For the Green Onion Chicken, I think that I could just add the seasoning after it has cooled
- For the Fish, I need to figure out how to cook the fillets without them breaking up so much
The Beef with Tofu turned out fine; and the Tropical Fruit Salad (papaya, mango, kiwi, and strawberry) was good.
I thank God for blessing me and for providing for me. I am also grateful for the opportunity to provide hospitality to others. I do hope that all who come to visit will sense HIS presence in my home.
