Even if I had wanted to get up at 4 am, see the full Lunar Eclipse I not been able to see it because we have snow and clouds clouded. Oh well.
Today was a mixture of lolling around and cooking, cooking, cooking. A time of year I Cook, how many of you know it. But Bookman still out helps because, well, I tend to together make such elaborate Solstice menus that I need help, to make it all happen. Here's what we had today:
That is on the stove bubbling hot and sour soup. It came out sooo good. Add a splash of sesame seed oil, and a runny nose hot for a nice kick serve.
Hack so much this year! On the plate go clockwise starting with the rice: rice (heh), Chinese sweet and sour tofu balls (homemade sweet and sour sauce on these babies!), spring roll (wrapped in rice paper with carrots, bean sprouts, glass noodles, ginger, garlic and red pepper) and "Chop Suey" (thats what it called the recipe, but while we we flavor that used played, combining Veggie: bamboo shoots remnants from the hot and sour soup, water chestnut remnants from the tofu balls, garlic, onions, broccoli, purple cabbage, carrots, bean sprouts and Bok Choy). Everything came out so tasty.
And of course, it's dessert:
This is a chocolate mint Cupcake with chocolate mint "Buttercream" frosting and chocolate ganache drizzled around it fairly.
Has a wonderful day my wonderful topped it firmly, shared with my wonderful Bookman. I am very happy and grateful that girl.
And while the winter for the next month and half colder, the Sun seems bright and clear gradually longer in the cold air and the days to make the cold bearable. The natural way of compensating products.
Happy Solstice everyone!
