This last month has been rife with things that I've been wanting to do for the past 6 months, and just hadn't gotten around to yet. Going to a tailor, finishing off my restaurant list (didn't make it to lunch at Maison Boulod!), and learning to make chinese food. On Monday I attended a Tastes of China cooking class at The Hutong.
http://thehutong.com/blog/ The Canadian chef, Joel, guided us through 3 regional dishes: a Sichuan Chili Fried Lotus Root, a Hunan Braised Pork, and a Steamed Eggplant dish. We chopped rolling cuts, drank pu'er tea, and ate our creations til the late hours of the evening. How delicious. I can't wait to get back to the states and begin building my asian cuisine repetoire. Now I just have to find lotus root back home.
