Pass The Sushi!

I’m lov­ing my new lay­out. I wanted a throw back to my orig­i­nal idea but some­thing that also tied in with Sil­hou­ette Graph­ics (not to men­tion, I’m a sucker for red). Check out the adorable image that Kit­ti­fied­meow did for my about page!

There’s more to come with the new design, I just jumped the gun a lit­tle by launch­ing this ver­sion soon. I couldn’t help myself. >.<!

My “Two New” for this week is a cheat, kind of. I didn’t get to make two new recipes this week because of an over­abun­dance of work — at both my 9–5 and my per­sonal web­site design ser­vices (of which I am not com­plain­ing). How­ever, what I did make was tough and it took two peo­ple in the kitchen to make. So — ha! That’s how I’m jus­ti­fy­ing my per­sonal fail­ure this week.

Hand­some and I made pot stick­ers last night. I acci­den­tally pulled ground pork the other night to thaw and rather then let­ting it go to waste, though, we both worked long and hard days, we decided to give pot stick­ers a whirl. So at 8:30 last night we started peel­ing gin­ger, chop­ping scal­lions, and joy­fully play­ing with my food proces­sor. Well, he joy­fully played with my food proces­sor. I am a lit­tle con­cerned that he enjoyed it to much and I will come home tonight to find that every thing in the kitchen has been processed.

I have only made pot stick­ers once before with my friend and her mom but the lit­tle tips and tricks I got from that expe­ri­ence really helped. We used a com­bi­na­tion of his moms recipe and Ming Tsai’s. We def­i­nitely need to improve our fill­ing por­tion con­trol.  Goldilocks would have been very dis­ap­pointed if she’d stopped by last night. Over­all, though, for out first time mak­ing pot stick­ers and it tak­ing til 10 to eat din­ner, it was pretty darn close to perfect.
