In order to "catch myself up" in my self-challenge, I made two dishes this week.
The first is Chunky Guacamole. It was good - after all, how can you go wrong with avocado? However, next time I will not use the garlic. As much as I love garlic, the recipe called for two cloves, which I thought over-powered the avocado.
The second recipe was for Asian Vegetable Turnovers. They may not look like much, but they are awesome! I even had a couple cold for breakfast this morning and they were good, too. I was surprised how easy this recipe was. (Although, I do need to work on my wonton wrapper folding skills.) This recipe I will definitely make again.
I made spring rolls for the first time ever this weekend (I'd been craving Asian food, and was able to find some rice wraps), and they were delicious, but I didn't master the rolling technique either ...
ReplyDeleteIt looks so easy in the book and the turnovers in the book were so beautiful and symmetrical... oh well, mine still tasted good :-) I love spring rolls. I'm going out for Thai tomorrow - maybe I'll get some as an appetizer, now that I am thinking about them.
DeleteI recently watched that movie with my kids, after wanting to for quite a while. What an interesting life she had!
ReplyDeleteShe sure did! And wouldn't this project be much more fun if I were doing it in Paris?
