last sunday, our soccer team threw a party to thank aaron for working so hard to organize our team and also to congratulate him on his recent wedding! i took it upon myself to fold 50+ beef and onion dumplings for the party (mom's secret recipe!). here's the meat, marinating:
and here are the dumplings folded and fried. mom's always look beautiful, but mine look sketchy at best:
avé, a friend from my teaching days who is also friends with aaron, noted that aaron's fav dessert is rice pudding. sorry, but not about to make rice pudding. i remembered that aaron liked the new orleans bourbon bread pudding that i made for an
fc ceviche barbecue last year, so i decided to make that again. it's a very easy recipe from "joy of cooking," and my secret touch is that i use challah instead of italian bread (why not, since challah is already a little sweet)!! here's the bread soaking in deliciousness:
and here it is partially eaten, with the bourbon sauce on top. note that the dumplings tupperware to the right is completely empty!
also at the party was marcus, the nearly 1 year old son of my friends jeremy and amy. marcus came out rocking the jersey i made him as a gift to his parents when he was born! it's a little big on him, so he'll have time to grow into it!
see you on the pitch, marcus, and congrats aaron!
