Stir fried a-chai (Chinese lettuce), J's Shandong cold mix, and peanuts boiled in star anise and five spice powder. This is actually a pretty typical Chinese meal, since we grilled up half a fish to go with it.
I made some mushroom, spinach, and basil marinara tonight with lots of red wine in it. Mmmm! I baked up a loaf of my new favorite bread. Look at the air holes in it! Bigger holes=more light and airy. And the crust was cracklin' delicious. I was going to boil pasta, but the bread was so good we just dipped it in the sauce. Sort of like the Vietnamese dip baguettes in beef stew.
I still had snack, though. Bought some Dr. Bob's Scharffen Berger Works ice cream. It has 70% chocolate, 62% chocolate, and Scharffen Berger's famous cacao nibs. It's pretty bitter for an ice cream, but I like it. The flavor is so intense I don't need more than a little to feel satisfied. My only beef with the ice cream is that it has carageen. Why, Dr. Bob, why? I hate the foamy texture carageen gives ice cream. Sure, ice cream without carageen freezes into a solid rock and melts quickly. So what? It's natural!
