An after-school day for Serena so I picked up Alexias and we went to the Chinese supermarket, forgot the name now. As usual, I had no idea what to get until I actually walked in. Ended up with a pound of ground pork, spring onions, tofu, fresh dumpling wrappers, miso paste, gai laan, soy milk, and parsley.
I made a new dish, called "Serena's pork, celery and tofu". Fried the pork till it was nice and brown, then added some sliced celery, cubed tofu, some beef stock, and black pepper. Served with fried rice and gai laan.
Serena and I made some dumplings too. I used the pork with some finely chopped spring onions, parsley, rice wine, cornstarch, black pepper. Boiled them for a few minutes and then served them with a sauce made from: my home made chili paste which seems to have got even hotter, soy sauce, vinegar, water, spring onions.

Flora came by later to help look over Alexias' work contract for her new job at the shoe store in the mall. She starts tomorrow and is pretty excited. I am very proud of her for being able to handle so much - a new school, a new job, homework, her schedule, laundry, her sister ... She really is an amazing girl!
