Overdue.


Top to bottom:
1. Grant and I made homemade pizza at the new house in Geneva, IL last week to start winter break with something delicious--we made a big one with mozzarella and colby jack cheese, jalapeno peppers, chicken breast, and herbs, and a small one with chicken, tomatoes, and pineapple...so good, even my Asian rice-and-chopsticks parents helped finish them off :) Easy pizza dough recipe from all recipes.
2. Thanksgiving at the Geneva house--Jeffrey and I took care of the "American" part of our Turkey Day dinner, including green bean casserole (or "green bean castle" according to my dad), apple sausage stuffing, bacon-wrapped potatoes and asparagus, and turkey of course. So much food, esp. with all the Chinese my parents made. Good thing we all like leftovers.
3. My mom makes great sushi with sort of weird but yummy filling--ham, egg, avocado, cucumber, and carrot. So pretty too :)
4. I usually go to the Boston Tea Stop in Cambridge for bubble tea, but recently I've been more interested in their various flavors of Mochi ice cream, little dome-shaped Japanese desserts consisting of a firm ice cream center wrapped in a chewy, rice-based shell. My favorite so far is pumpkin pie :D
