Sometimes I feel too lazy to do extra dishes and it results in me trying to shove everything into one casserole dish. Hey mom… it worked ok?
The Fambam
I currently live with 6 other people and 5 of us are D1s (we also have one architect). They’re some of the coolest people that I’ve ever met and I’m super glad that they’re part of my new family. From dinner parties to running up and down the stairs to visit each other, I expect that we’ll have a ton of adventures together!
Scottish Egg
Mark decided to try something new for breakfast: a soft boiled egg wrapped in a sausage,beef mixture that was then deep fried. It was so tasty but probably equally as unhealthy =(
Peanut Butter Chocolate Cake
Mark and his mom made the most amazing chocolate peanut butter cake ever. The best part was eating it for breakfast!
All the Pastry Crust!
The theme of dinner was apparently pastry crust! I had previously made the filling for a beef pot pie but didn’t have pastry crust and so I ended up freezing it.
So one weekend, Mark decided to make quiche and I tagged along to make a pot pie! I think they both turned out fantastic!! 
Happy Birthday Mark!
It was Mark’s birthday last week and we had a great time eating Chinese food!
Cooking with Mark
The beauty of living with Mark is that sometimes he decides on something amazing for dinner and then we make it. Amanda and I definitely don’t complain when this happens. This time he was craving a clam sauce.
He threw in some clams, oil, onions m, garlic salt and pepper.
Then he added cream and herbs and a splash of wine. 
Mark also had a meat sauce that his dad had made so we served both of them up with penne. It turned out to be an amazing dish!
Chinese New Year Dinner
Once again we celebrated Chinese New Year at our house! This year is the Year of the Monkey, which is super special for me! I ended up making all kinds of food (the full menu is at the bottom if you’re interested!)
Min helped me pass out dessert!
Feeding everyone!
So excited for monkey year!
All 7 monkeys at our new year dinner!
I think this was a sign that the food was tasty!
What we consumed for the New Year:
- Pork bone soup with wintermelon, tofu and bok choy
- 90 homemade Dumplings (Amanda helped fry them all!)
- String beans with ground pork
- Eggplant in a spicy garlic sauce
- Soy sauce chicken
- Noodles with red peer, carrots mushrooms and egg (Olivia helped assemble everything)
- All the rice!
- A Pomelo
- Oranges
- Coconut Taro Tapioca Pudding (it started as a soup but gelled really quickly)
- Some Japanese cheesecake
We finished up pretty much all of the food and there was only soup and pudding left! Hope this New Year is a great one!
Mussels
Mark and Amanda decided to make Mussels for dinner and they were so good! They served it up with some pasta and bread and it was absolutely delicious! 
Mark’s New Terrariums
Mark made five terrariums over the weekend and they’re the coolest things ever! A blanket of moss resting on some pretty nifty rocks with some greenery growing on the side? Gorgeous!!
He really should sell his creations. They’re amazing!
