celebrity chef

Here I am googling "how to cook meat" and "how to cut scallions" when tomorrow I have a solid 5 hours of cooking from scratch for my host family. On the menu: chive potstickers, scallion pancakes, and tapioca dessert soup! Can't wait to update regardless of how things turn out! (I also owe everybody the details of my trip to Andalucia)

On another note, this is my shameful obsession of the week. Boy, I had resisted Miss Lips for a LONG TIME.

UPDATE:

I wasn't kidding when I said 5 hours! Wish I had made the pancakes and dumpling skins a little thinner, but the tapioca dessert was surprisingly legit. And no, I don't have pictures so you'll have to take my word for it, and that's because it was too crazy in the kitchen and everyone was in a rush to get lunch going (woops, the food wasn't ready until 3:40pm). I'm feeling pretty good about cooking next year and if worst comes to worst I'll have my favorite: baby carrots with peanut butter!
