@ehBeth,
We had dinner tonight at the Columbia on the pier. A Cuban restaurant, service was excellent, the food was just okay.

@MMarciano,
I asked Antonio what he wanted for dinner today and he said my chicken gumbo again. This time I’m not following any recipe. The chicken is in the pot and I’m preparing the veggies. I still couldn’t find any fresh okra so I’ll have to make do with frozen again.

@jcboy,
It’s cooking now.

I made a large pot because Marco likes to take his lunch to work.

Later I’ll make some jasmine rice to go with it.

Tonight I’m making a Korean BBQ with pork, stir fry veggies and homemade pot stickers.

@ossobuco,
I wouldn’t say they are very easy to make, takes a bit of work but I learned how to make them in my cooking class. I have two dozen lying on a flat pan in the freezer to have again this weekend.

@ossobuco,
Osso those were the best pork and shrimp pot stickers I’ve ever had! I’m quite pleased with this cooking class he’s been taking. He’s come a long way.

@jcboy,
I make similar when I make my olive oil crust ricotta vegetable or fruit tarts, sort of a staple breakfast for me to freeze and thaw - I hate to have dough not be quite enough so I make a bit too much and use the scraps (then or later) to make little pies, maybe asian or maybe whatever I have around like leftover meatloaf or some of my pork sausage (which itself varies every time I make it). Anyway, I bake them and freeze - no flying grease - and they make good snacks. Ravioli are or can be similar. Got to do those again, my last attempt had the dough too thick, cooked butternut squash, yam, and parmesan and I think a bit of sugar, salt and pepper). That gets served with a butter and sage sauce.

I've grown to hate packaged wonton wrappers. Haven't made my own chinese pot sticker dough in years, time to do that again, see if I like it - I remember that part as easy. What I remember as hard was making shui mai (chiu mai).. doing the pleats, oy vey.
