This has been a fukien shitty week...
the perfect occasion for some Fukien Cooking Wine!
Oh, pardon me, I mean Fuking Cooking Wine.
Ok, then.
Before giving that party a kick-start, consider these appetizers:
This charming frozen duck, for example.
Surprise! She's Vegetarian Imitation...so, she's meat? lol
Not your style? Then make your own appetizers.
You can never go wrong at the Asian market.
Want to make some Bao?
First, find a good recipe! Neo liked this one!
Don't forget the hoisin. You always need hoisin.
And the dried mushrooms!
I just spin them in a food processor to make...
Magic Mushroom Powder. Make powder and then put it in stuff.
I made the bao filling from Mary's recipe for Superbowl breakfast, but my back wouldn't hold up to make the bao dough from scratch.
I had even bought Bao flour! lol Anyway, I used frozen buns from the Asian market:
Oyster Mushroom and Tofu BBQ Bao-co!
Get it? Bao + taco = Bao-co.
We had these for breakfast on Superbowl Sunday.
Lastly, don't overlook the produce. My Asian market usually has really good prices on produce like cilantro. Give a bunch or two of washed cilantro (with or without stems, your call) a spin with some olive oil and salt and call it a day. You can make a whole, elaborate pesto if you really want to, but I like it plain like this, just olive oil and salt added, as just a sandwich spread or on the side of Israeli fare as a "cilantro salad.."
A Day (aka Cilantro Salad Spread)
Cover it in a little olive oil and store in the fridge. Lasts a while, but I bet you'll eat it all first.
This was our game day food. I used the Cilantro Salad Spread (above), hubby made my Zu Zu Ghanoush, and then we made the Kafta Kabobs from Joni's Fusion Food book (which I was a tester for!) to make:
an Israeli Superbowl super-platter of tastiest proportions!
Kafta Kabobs with Cilantro Salad and cucumbers, Side of pickles, olives, Zuzu Ghanoush and Sriracha.
Poo log-a-rama:
I don't suggest you serve these at a Superbowl party (or any party, lol). Obvious reasons. They are for private consumption only! lololol.
Maybe, though, they were the secret key to the Eagles unbelievable victory!
My son and Neo celebrating the big win.
No idea what I'm going to make this weekend...Kinda want these cupcakes...we'll see how I'm feeling.
Valentine's Day is in the middle of the week this year so I don't know if I should celebrate it this weekend or next weekend...hmmm....thinking this weekend.
Have to finalize some ideas for the weekend and get shopping.
See ya'll lata!
