Hope everyone had a happy 4th! We spent the day eating at my parents' house. We literally started eating around noon and noshed until 10 p.m. Photos of what we ate will have to wait until my sister e-mails them to me. Meanwhile, our lunch that day was dim sum at Capital Seafood. Nothing exciting, just the usual great food for about $12 each. We had seven dishes total.
My mom's $60 flower tree is really earning its keep these days. I don't know the English name for these, but in Taiwan they're a popular thing to buy from street vendors to hang in your car. They're kind of like gardenias or jasmine flowers in tha tthey smell incredible. My mom said her tree is yielding about 60 of these every day, more than they can use. Too bad they die after a day or two.

hmm dim sum sounds so good right now.
They're not tuberoses, are they?
No, tuberoses have a much more subtle smell and all the blooms grow together on stalks. These grow on a tree, and each flower is on its own section of the branch.
Tuberose are whiter, and more short and stubby: http://www.lisamaliga.com/tuberose.jpg
