"What's For Dinner, Mi?"

Went to fetch Andy from the bus station at 4.30pm... good to see him again after three weeks of absence... he looked so fatigue and tired when he came into the car and after talking to him for a moment, I realized that he didn't even greet me... "hi mum" or "mother" or "mi" or "mama." When I asked him, he said he was like blurred....still in dreamland... so exhausted because of an assignment last night that took him to finish only wee hours in the morning.

Pure exhaustion.... poor boy....

Now? Wow... after a clean up and shower, he was whistling just a moment ago and happily said, "Mi, what is for dinner?"
Here are the dishes for dinner, boy...

potato with minced meat
mistake! too much black sauce...

steamed fish...

french beans with garlic.. hahahaa
and ABC soup...

OK, going down for dinner now...come!

  2. The dishes are so typically 'gong fu' style. I thought the potato and onion dish is a secret recipe inherited from our grandmothers in a typical Cantonese family. I'm so proud to be a Cantonese (though the Cantons were called the Southern Barbarians during the last dynasty. Btw, Claire, are you Cantonese?
