Rylee turned two last Thursday, and sadly I was going to pass on doing anything especially because we don't have any family in town. After deciding I could possibly be the worst mother by skipping celebrating Ry's b'day we settled for a "play date" with friends and cupcakes for treats. Word got around that it was Ry's b'day, and the play date turned into a party...which now I'm really grateful for.
I am not on the ball with anything, including this sad site I call a blog. Anyways, here is our last couple weeks.
Ry and I made some cookies for her upcoming birthday. This is her favorite part..."taste, taste, taste??" We have been missing the food from Hong Kong ever since we got back to the States in August so here was my lame attempt to recreate the yummy delicacies in my home. I made Char Siu Bao (the roll looking thing) which is bbq pork in a roll, pot stickers which we actually never had in HK but it's an Asian food and we love them, and some char siu pork on rice. To finish it off I made cocktail buns (rolls with a coconut/sugar filling) which were so delicious in HK and not so delicious from my kitchen. The only foods missing (besides any sort of vegetable) were don tarts, mango pudding, and taro cake.
