I have a very busy day today. I’ll be doing one thing that is completely new – I’ll be meeting up with one of my blog readers for coffee (or some other such drink, seeing I don’t actually drink coffee… or tea…!) But I am sure that we will have a lovely time together.
I will also hopefully be getting heaps of work done on my tablecloth. It is slowly getting closer to being finished. I had wondered if I’d be able to photograph it for the book with just 1 full side and the ends of the two adjacent sides done. My husband has not been supporting this idea, as he maintains that if I don’t finish it before the book is done, I never will. (He knows me too well!) And so, I keep plugging away, despite the lure of “cheating” with it!
We will also be having a good friend around for dinner, and I plan to make Thai green curry, which is always yum. I will never forget how blown away I was when I had my first Thai green curry. I couldn’t believe how wonderful it tasted.
On the weekend I also did a first: I made dim sims! I’d never done that before. They were so easy and so very yum. We’ll definitely be having them again. Next time I will purchase wonton wrappers instead of the gow gee wrappers I accidentally purchased. But they still tasted great!
Well, I had better stop procrastinating and get on with tracing some more of the motifs onto my tablecloth so that I have something to work on today! I hope you have a lovely embroidery, friends and food day too. 🙂

Look into buying a Chinese Roast Duck, some special “Roast Duck” wrappers, cut some cucumber and carrot into strips, add a little lettuce and some plum sauce….I hope you love it! I do.
Also, trying wrapping your dim sum in lettuce, with Vietnamese mint and beansprouts. Not only do you feel less guilty about the frying, but it adds a wonderful fresh “crunch” as well. Spring Rolls (it’s meant for spring rolls) dipping sauce recipe will be available on the Net….
Hope this is useful…(can you tell I’m hungry?)
Yum, sounds wonderful. For the record, our dim sims were steamed. 🙂 We bought a steaming basket especially. I loved that they were so easy to make and cook… and eat!
Sounds like a wonderful day in prospect!
