a foodie's blog: House warming

This weekend we had my family and extended family over for a house warming party. I decided to try to cook as much food as possible. Ming and I spent 4.5 hours prepping for the feast and we were really efficient. We each tackled a different dish and finished much faster than I thought we would (I had originally thought we’d take 5.5 hours for prep work.)

The menu for the house warming party is as follows:
- caramelized onion, shiitake, and goat cheese on fluffy puff pastry
- jumbo sea scallops over bok choi
- jap chae (Korean noodles)
- gal bi (Korean BBQ short ribs)
- silver wrapped chicken
- macadamia nut and white chocolate cookies
- watermelon agua fresca
- barley tea

Unfortunately we didn’t get to take pictures of everything. Once the party started it was impossible to take pictures of the food since we were so busy socializing with everything. I am happy to report that everything went very smoothly and we don’t have left overs of very much . To our dismay, all of the silver wrapped chicken disappeared in record time and we didn’t have the foresight to save any for ourselves for another meal. We’ll have to make another batch of the silver wrapped chicken soon so that we can satisfy our craving for it.
