Jeremy Comes To Cook!

A tradition is being formed. Jeremy has come the last two years in a row for my birthday to cook an incredible dinner! This year he brought Kody to help and enjoy the cooking party. We started the day at the Asian Markets, getting all kind of ingredients that I didn't understand. The little Japanese lady at the first store was impressed with Jeremy's knowledge and kept asking, "How you know? Where you learn?" It was great. Then it was off to "Emmo" (Emmigration Market) for the pork loin that Jeremy had on special order. Market Street Grill was our last shopping stop. We needed prawns, big ones. Sadly the ones they had were not quite satisfactory to the chef so we had to improvise. Once back in my mom's kitchen the party really got started. We learned how to make gnocchi. It is an Italian pasta made entirely out of potatoes! It was very fun to make. We also made Udon soup (a traditional Japanese workman's soup), magno salad with a lime cilantro avacado dressing, and a Japanese dessert that I can't remember the name of. Thanks Jerem! You are the best! But you already know that!
