We had a lovely Chinese New Year dinner with my 2nd cousins, the kids seem great. There was Peking duck (delicious) and we ordered our favorite mayonnaise coated fried shrimp with candied walnuts which does not exist at all in any restaurant in China but is a favorite of all of ours. Edda tried on many occasions to push away from the table and slide ever so slightly under the table, so that took a bit of wrestling to calm down.
I am baking a lot and had a good run of cookies this week: This is raspberry salted caramel cookies (all got eaten at choir practice).
This is oatmeal raisin with chocolate chips (all eaten at coffee hour after the service today). I love church because I can bake as much as I want and just eat what I want and then deliver it later to a group of people who each will only eat one! I love it.
