Jiao-zhe party!

The great thing about jiao-zhe parties is that you can put your guests to work!

Hmmm... okay, wait, are they the guests, or am I the guest, if I do the prep work and the teaching but it takes place in their home?

Yay!


Of course, I had to photograph the dowgs:


This is Charcoal, their house dog:

He's a big, huge, 110-pound galoot who sits in his mama's lap until she can't feel her legs. They have a working team of huskies in the yard, and poor Charcoal gets made fun of for being so big and goofy and awkward in comparison. But he is certainly loved. :)

Charcoal's paws are almost the size of Linden's head. Even though my girls are retired, they are still considered "real dogs" and occupy a higher social rung than poor Charcoal.


Photographs of black animals crack me up:


Do you remember this one I had taken of my friend Carl's cat, Dog?


It reminds me of this other one I took of a backlit owl:

The resemblance is uncanny, is it not?

Ah, is this the neighbor with the nasturtium blossoms? She is very handy in the kitchen!

Those look delicious - what's the stuffing?

Only I had proper napa cabbage this time! I liked the bok choy version, though, and may have to do it again sometime.

Haha I had forgotten about that moose. She quit hanging out with me a few weeks after that photo was taken!

Ah yes! Now I remember that old blog entry...and the moose, ha ha. Yummy yummy - and so much fun to make with friends.
