Chinese inspired dinner

I know you can't see it that well but this dish is made up of beef strips, rice, gai choy, and onions. I used some white cooking wine, black bean sauce, mushroom soy sauce, salt and some sugar. I really don't want to elevate my cooking skills but this was one of the best dishes I have made in past months. There really isn't any reason or thoughts about this dish but the experience of homemade foods is just plain good. I look forward to sharing more foods.

Movie Recommendation

I was recently listening to Mozart's "Don Giovanni" opera and in one scene i remembered this movie. I really recommend it, it tells the tale of two opera troupe friends and their lives from the Nationalist government of China all the way to the after math of the Cultural Revolution. If you have a chance i really recommend this movie it's very well written and the acting is great.

欢迎, Bienvenida, Willkommen, ようこそ, Welcome

Hiya!

I've decided to start a blog to document random T.G.I.F.'s I may encounter. Also to document my possible trip to China this September (Fingers crossed; yet wanting leads to suffering). And to just have fun dicussions or conversations with different people. Hope to see you around and as Andrew Zimmern would say "If it looks good, eat it" <-it doesn't just mean food "eat" anything that looks good absorb it make it a part of you.
