Jerry's got crabs!!!

One of Jerry's favorite dishes in LA is the Beer Crab from Oak Tree Inn in South Pasadena, CA. Since I've never had it before, Jerry tried to recreate it for me with a little help from his brother, Tim (http://www.yelp.com/biz/tutto-amore-gelato-laguna-beach). We took a small trip to Chinatown and a couple hours later...tada! The Beer Crab is made by steaming dungeoness crabs in beer, eggs, garlic and bay leaf. We also bought some soy sauce chicken and Chinese spinach to complete the meal...It was delicious!!!!!!! PS we named the crab Fred.

Ox tail soup for the soul!

To prove I could be a domestic, Chinese girlfriend I made Jerry Ox tail soup. The ox tail was kinda overcooked but it still tasted just like Mom had made it. Jerry says "Yo mama de wei dao" Along with the oxtail soup we cooked Chinese red sausage in rice and bok choy!

Turkey Bolognese, ole!

This recipe was inspired by a turkey meatball bolognese that my sister-in-law Jennifer (excellentadventures09.blogspot.com) was making one night for a potluck she was going to. My friend Irene (hi-fashions.blogspot.com) and I watched her with watering mouths then went straight to Trader Joes after and created our own sans the meatballs- too much work- too hungry. A couple weeks later I made it for Jerry. He says "It was delicious....and I want you to make it for me again."
