Pretty Foods & Pretty Drinks. Cheese Straws. To celebrate Chinese New Year, I made dumplings 餃子 with mushrooms, tofu, and napa cabbage. Mike helped wrapping the little parcels, and we boiled them in a homemade vegetable broth with baby bak choy. Happy Rabbit Year! In a frying pan, sauté ginger, garlic, and green onions in a little vegetable oil, until they’re softened but not brown. Raise the heat and add the mushrooms. Stir fry for a few minutes, then stir in some soy sauce, mirin, and salt and pepper to taste. In a large mixing bowl, crumble the tofu with a fork or chopsticks. Put a spoonful of filling in a sheet of gyoza wrapper (defrost if frozen). Boil the dumplings in vegetable broth for a couple of minutes. Penniesonaplatter | foodgawker - StumbleUpon.

I feel like I’m grasping tight to the things around me these days. I’m probably the first to shrug off the change of season, the change of moving cities, and the change of traveling a ton as no big deal…. but it all adds up to matter and I have to admit I feel a little crazy in the brain. This season I’ve started a new workout routine. Since I’ve moved away from my beloved SoulCycle in California, I’ve started practicing Bikram Yoga in New Orleans. I’m terrible. I’ve also taken out my Tender cookbook (a Spring go-to) and am daydreaming my way through Donald Link’s Down South cookbook in an effort to acclimate myself to my new city and surroundings. Here are a few more Spring flings I’m into these days. 1•• I am very pale. 2•• I absolutely LOVE this Ellovi Body Butter. 3•• I’m thinking of sporting short fingernails with Blue Orchid Nail Polish as the weather gets warmer. 5•• When I was a teenager my mom told me that I had a ‘hat face’. 8•• Two Tone Sunnies.
I love you!
