We did have a couple of pictures, Kim outdid herself creating a great looking table setup for the dinner.
A few more details about our dinner, we had several Chinese or Asian inspired dishes. Our menu was something like this:
--Crunchy Noodle Chinese Cabbage Salad
--Beef and Broccoli stir fry
--Teriyaki Chicken
--Homemade Pork Wontons and Egg Rolls
--Vegetable Fried Rice
--Steamed Rice
--Almond Gelatin with fruit cocktail
--Dessert Egg Rolls with Apple, Peach, or Cherry filling
And, for the less adventurous there were hot dogs, brats, and pasta salad.
Looking at the list above, it looks like a lot! No wonder we worked most of Saturday afternoon and evening cooking and doing prep work. But, it was a lot of fun as well, I know that I really enjoy cooking for people, and I am getting a lot more comfortable with the Asian style coking that I have so far attempted. There is still a lot more to learn, but so far the successes have been more than the failures. We gave several dishes trial runs, and some made the cut, and some we discarded. One of the hardest parts was the wontons, even starting with a small amount of filling, it seems to take forever to even make a dent in it. We swore to cut down on the number of dishes this year, but somehow things multiplied as the day drew near.
It was a lot of fun, and we will do it again next year.
