on wednesday morning leif picked me up and we went to bagels with! for some breakfast and caught up a bit.
later that day, i made some vegetable wontons for our family pot luck at my dad's.
they were filled with kale, tofu, corn, onions, peppers, jalapeno, ginger, and garlic. it was my first time making these, but it was pretty easy. i just bought the wonton wrappers and stuffed them, used egg whites to press them closed, and then boiled them for 2 minutes.
ready to be boiled
all done :) and leif helped me with a dipping sauce that was made of siracha hot sauce, soy sauce, and toasted sesame oil. we also added a little bit of my moms homemade chicken soup broth to tone it down.
iam and christalyn made a big salad
my lovely 95 year old grandma wiping her mouth.
the following day was leif's birthday which i already posted about. we went on a fun filled airboat tour and then walked around south beach and went out to dinner.
friday nite, eruch and i went over to leif's friend sue's house in lake worth. he was cooking everyone dinner. (here he is frying flounder)
brooke and sue hanging out with sue's adorable scruffy dog.
this was heavenly. (from top clockwise; red cabbage, grapefruit, fennel, daikon radish salad, mashed brown butter celery root, soba noodles with shrimp, kale with maitake mushrooms, and fried flounder with meyer lemon and dill. )
eruchhhh.
shawna's children were too cute. they wanted to sit on my lap during the bonfire but got impatient while taking photos. jasmine has her hood covering her face because of the smokey bonfire.
on saturday nite, leif and i went with my dad to city oyster for dinner. didn't capture any photos this time.
on sunday, we all went out for lunch at deck 84. we shared many things including this nova flatbread.
on monday, we had the pleasure of going over to my mom's and eating a meal made by leif once again. we're soooo lucky!
pean seared scallops, avocado salad with dill, collard greens with maitake mushrooms, and garlic noodles with marjoram and thyme.
can you tell our lives are surrounded by food?
it was sad to see leif go on tuesday... the trip went by too quickly. he's back in california now, and i can't wait to go visit him!
love you, leif!
