dumplins

chicken and dumpling soup is the best soup ever. the most important part of the soup is to brown the chicken before starting. i used onions and mushrooms and took out the carrots and celery. the dumplings are made with milk and chicken fat. mmmm. to the right they look more like cauliflower florets, but i assure you, they are in fact dumplings. the recipe's from america's test kitchen cookbook that my mother got me for my bday or maybe xmas.

mmmm... coconut milk bubble tea

so, pho bistro is a restaurante near my house and also near a veterinary hospital where i used to work (there's two). they have the best bubble tea. not the kind with sweet bubble but the normal tasting bubbles, she told me that you're "supposed" to soak them with brown sugar, but they get a little too sticky so she stopped. yay for me! i always get a blended coconut milk tea. mmmmmm. buuuubbles. and then they have dumplings, fried or steamed. the sauce is kind of sweet but also salty. awesome! i love a lot of their food, but the other thing i enjoy there is the beef noodle soup. i really like the people who work there as well.
