Lazy Weekends

On the few weekends when we aren’t busy with weddings, client meetings, or other forms of work, we like to be completely lazy. Like a sleep-’till-noon-and-lounge-around-the-house-in-our-pjs-watching-movies kind of lazy.

However, a few weeks ago we got up and dressed and out of the house to cook with some friends. One day, Linda (a classmate) and I decided that we should meet once a month to just hang out and cook. Added bonus–her husband is Chinese/Taiwanese and is a great cook! So a few weeks ago they invited us over taught us how to make egg rolls and created an amazing feast of some of the best Aisan food I’ve ever had.

Linda teaches me how to properly roll and secure egg rolls.

And I pass on the knowledge to Alex. . .

Yummy egg rolls!

Yummy salads!  I especially loved this baked-tofu and hard-boiled egg salad.  The anise spice permeated the eggs in the strangest, most wonderful way!

Mmmmm, sirloin beef and pepper stir-fry.

Thanks, Linda and Billy, for the awesome feast!  And obviously, some of the photo credits go to them, too

Next month is our turn and clearly the bar has been set high.  We’re still working on the menu, but borsht is first on the list. Anyone have suggestions of Russian/Ukrainian food that we must cook?
