First Day Feast


Being that today was Nathan's first day back to school (and my first free day since we got back) I decided to cook up something new, different and special for dinner. I underestimated the feat it would be to put together this little feast.

What's on the menu?
Shrimp cakes with ginger and cilantro,
from 5 Spices, 50 Dishes

1. chopping up spicy things and sauteeing them til my eyes burn and I'm coughing


2. boiling, peeling, mashing potatoes; thawing, chopping shrimps
3. mixing all of these things together, forming patties, rolling in bread crumbs


4. Refrigerating; make raita (cool yogurt dip)
5. Frying shrimp cakes in oil



6. Success! Eating delicious shrimp cakes


The yet to be seen 7th step?
7. Cleaning dishes. Bah.

A delicious new recipe I won't be making in the near future but definitely sometime in the later future.
A yummy, tiring day for me, and for Nathan
(on top of his first day, he fixed our sink! my handyman)
