I MADE BAOZI!!!

I, an utterly incompetent chef, have just acheived my finest cullinary moment. I will never be this awesome again, ever.

I HAVE SUCCESSFULLY MADE BAOZI.

ON MY FIRST TRY.



That's right. I, who cannot even make a casserole without bursting into tears and screwing up something royally, have created these yummy dim sum delicacies. And that's not all! Not only did I make PORK baozi, I have also made red bean paste baozi!

FROM SCRATCH!!!

My next attempt at greatness will be zongzi. Anyone know where to get bamboo leaves?

Absolutely! I made a ton. Now you just have to get here before my husband devours them all.

(Jo's personal lolcatz caption: I'm a gud wife! I cooked your foods!)

Although, uh, I should probably confess that I pulled that pic up there off wikipedia. My buns look significantly lumpier. But they taste fine!

I'm totally impressed that you can even spell those things, let alone cook them. Yay for you!

First thing you learn in a foreign country: how to order food you like.

Although my other recent accomplishment is reaching a level of proficiency in Chinese such that I can now construct sentences thusly:

"The small red horse rides the school bus to school."
"I love my teacher!"
"Learning Chinese makes me happy!"
"Do you love the white winter snow?"

That's right, I am now competent to hold a conversation with a two-year-old.

But two year olds can't write, now can they? NYAH!
