mama bee's cooking part 1

this week i've been working from oregon because of thanksgiving. i am so relieved i left on saturday to come home, too, because an 'arctic storm' has hit seattle which we can interpret as the city shutting down since we don't know how to deal with snow/ice. the most amusing part of it, is all the dumbasses (pardon the francais) trying to drive up queen anne hill on the ice. this little neighborhood blog has some content and videos you can check out (http://www.queenanneview.com/).

here's a video i stole from their site for you to check out:


anyway so the best part about coming home is that i get to get fat off my mother's cooking! wahoo! oh the benefits to being the daughter of restaurant owners/amazing cooks.

sunday night i had my mom's new red tofu curry that they are serving these days. the curry was delicious and packing a lot of heat! i was feeling unhealthy so i figured all the vegetables and tofu were a smart choice.

then my mom made some soy sauce chicken wings so i stole some for myself and they were sooo good as well. i need to learn these recipes so i can make these things on my own.

then for lunch on monday, i had my mom's taiwanese style stewed pork with mustard relish (for lack of better word). i had to eat this because i helped them take orders on sunday and soooo many people ordered that dish. (it's another newbie i have yet to try.) well, i see why they love it. the pork is so tender and the sauce is great and it goes great with the mustard relish!
