IT IS THAT TIME OF YEAR AGAIN.

[amand_r]

So as usual, I don't take pics, because I am drinking cooking. And greasy. I will tell you that there was fun this year, in the form of near disasters. First A almost didn't get here. Then I burnt my hand on boiling butter so badly the night before that I wasn't sure I was going to be able to cook. Then, uh, I dunno. The Steelers lost the Superbowl. We should have known.

All pics were by arsenicjade


The menu was on the wall, and people were invited to comment as we went along:







Some sort of dipping sauce:


Thati Corn Pancakes


Miso Broccoli Slaw


Spicy Sichuan Beef Soup (Minus the Pickled Mustard Greens)


STOP. KITTEHTIME


"As your mother tells you, and my mother certainly told me, it is important, she always used to say, always to try new things."


Seoul rolled Beef!


So bad.


Peking Duck


Happycat:


Crack and truffles


SHUT URP.


I drank two of those beers:


Crown


Put the sweetbreads in this end and the vomit comes out this end.


Yay.

Dishes: Still here.

I was actually thinking of making some this week, because I dodn't have any, and I have leftover ingredients. Thursday?

[cthonus.livejournal.com]

Even the cat looks edible ;)

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

The cat is made of marzipan!

Oh Vivster, how you do break the hearts.

[huesiemama.livejournal.com]

Noms and Vivi!

Yum, slaw. Miso? Please to be sharing recipe?

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

SO EASY.

Whisk 3 TBSP unseasoned rice vinegar, 2 TBSP white miso, 1 TBSP FRESHLY MINCED GINGER, AND 1/4 vegetable oil in a small bowl. In a large bowl, combine 1 16 oz bag of broccoli slaw, 3 large green onions, thinly sliced, and 1/2 cup freshly chopped cilantro. Toss with dressing. CONSUME.

[debitha.livejournal.com]

That all looks so tasty! And as though a good time was had by all. :o)

And the corn pancake recipe looks achievable. *rubs hands together*

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

It really is. I only warn you that you should make sure you have enough cornstarch in there and make sure your oil is really hot.

[sivatheminty.livejournal.com]

Mmmmmhh, that Seoul rolled beef looks yum. Did you get fancy with the duck and blow the skin out so it would get extra crispy? I've never figured out how to do it.

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

I KNEW THERE WAS SOMETHING I FORGOT TO DO. You know what? Maybe next time I'll make fewer dishes and do that. I wonder how.
