Good thing is we only have two families.
All others are challenging: menu, supply, setting, drinks, and, time!
Kiddos have their regular busy Saturday tournaments, competitions, practices, classes till 420pm.
Here for half a day, we get all we can and the gathering is really not bad at all. And we not forgetting to cheer for the Woman's Day while bottom more wine :)
最后一分钟定下来。好在是小小的家庭聚会。有长辈有小孩，应邀要健康不油腻。所以难度不大，速度很快，效果属于可以过关。
We need tender and girly to entertain in this spring. 在这个反反复复隐晴不定的早春，要有柔弱的花儿，服帖我们的心。
Black Mushroom Salad with Garlic Sauce. 蒜蓉木耳。新鲜的黑木耳，凉拌起来口感还是很不同。
Spinach Salad with fresh home-made Peanut Sesame Sauce. 麻酱拌菠菜。菠菜正应季。芝麻花生酱是自己现烤现打出来的，香气四溢。
Sweet and Sour Cucumber Salad. 酸黄瓜。脆生生，酸酸甜甜的。
Teriyaki Rib Eye Steak Top on Rice. 照烧牛排配寿司饭。牛肉肥嫩香滑，米饭粒粒香Q, 热情十足的一大盘，一扫而空了。
Fresh Corn & Pine Seeds w/Butter Sauce. 平凡的松子玉米可以有不太平凡的滋味。没料到玉米忽然这么难寻。好在这6条有机的超清甜，配上刚烤出炉的松子，用了一点牛油提味就好。优良食材和十足诚意是一道好菜的定理。
Stir-Fry Green Bean Sprout w/Garlic. 蒜蓉豆苗。看看有多素。
Rice Noodle Bowl w/Beef Stew. 唯一头天晚上开工的是红烧牛筋牛腱牛肚。一屋子香了一天一夜。米粉上来，人人都是很开心的。 这是小朋友的。大人的上来，全是肉和配料，忙得乐得来不及照啦。
Drinks and wine tonight. Chianti 是配复杂又重口味的中菜不错的红酒。还有橙汁和冰茶。
Fruit Plate. 水果拼盘。西瓜，芒果，哈密瓜，草莓蓝莓黑莓。
Crème Brule. 焦糖鸡蛋布丁。
