Egg-drop Gumbo: Chinese American Southern Fusion

Ingredients:

1/2 Onion

1 can Seafood Stock

3 Jumbo Eggs

1 can Okra, Corn & Tomatoes

1/3 can Hunt's Tomato Sauce

Salt & Pepper

Vegetables with Pasta

We had a little pasta with our vegetables for dinner. Instead of a side salad made up of lettuce and toppings I made a fruit salad. The cantaloupe provided a nice cool sweet balance for the hot curried fresh veggies, pasta, and beans main dish. Over dinner I filled Anthony in on how we came to have such spicy curried dinners. I bought a bag of curry at an Indian grocery store in Huntsville, AL a couple years ago. Instead of keeping my curry in a little spice shaker, I keep my curry in a Tupperware container and dump some into my dishes instead of sprinkling it.

Ingredients:

1/2 Onion

Small head of Broccoli

Zucchini Squash

Vegetable Rotini

1/3 can Black Beans

Curry

Salt & Pepper

 

Shastya Likes Clemson Mango Orange Smoothies

This evening Anthony made us mango orange smoothies. First, he cut up the fruit. Second, he ran the fruit with the peels on through the juicer. He poured a glass for me at this point. Third, he added vanilla ice cream and then milk to his. The whole time Shastya was sitting in her little chair enjoying the cooking show, smiling, and making cute noises. When Anthony was all done he let Shastya sample some of the smoothie without ice cream. She really liked it. She also enjoyed listening to the Clemson game on the radio while Anthony made the smoothies! She could tell the sports caster was very excited about Clemson football at the Orange Bowl. Shastya was wearing her tiger fleece hoodie and cheering on Clemson solid orange.
