Everything I cook looks Asian...

Pam commented a while back that everything Asian she cooked turns out tasty but not quite Asian enough. I have the reverse problem. Everything I cook LOOKS Asian.

Exhibit #1: Swedish meatballs, chicken and mushroom in a sour cream sauce over butter noodles. Steamed veggies and a mug of milk. Separating the veggies on another plate helped a little. Still, it looks like Singaporean fried noodles to me. (Yes, my new dinnerware. Cheap but cute!)

Exhibition #2: Now this definitely does not look Mexican! Having the chopsticks doesn't help matters. But this is in fact, a quesedilla party. We had plain and spicy versions of beef and chicken, sauteed onions and green peppers, bottled salsa and chunky guacamole. (Avocado wasn't ripe!) We had the hot plate right at the table.

We also had veggie sticks with two kinds of dip and potato galettes (potato pancakes.) Later, I made chicken wings with Lousiana hot sauce and barbeque sauce. And an apple/peach cobbler. No one really liked the cobbler! Hiro's best friend said the cake mix made it taste artificial, too American. LOL At our last party, we served it hot with ice cream and brandy and it was a big hit....

For dinner, I made rice balls, broccoli with beef and chicken in oyster sauce and sauteed komatsuna (Japanese spinach). Too dang tired by then to take pix.

Still, everything except the cobbler was a huge hit!!! Lots of fun but that was a lot of cooking in one day!
