I made do with a sieve over a pot and a damp rag both below and above the sticky rice in place of this. The rice sat on the stove for more than 2 hours and it still hadn't cooked through. After I googled "is eating raw rice bad for you?" I ate it anyway.

brown glutinous rice with orange peel and goji berries. served with milk.

not food!

flattery

Apparently this place does a hot chocolate made with peppercorn-infused milk. I did the milk thing and then put it in coffee.

gnocchi, gnever again.

it looks deceivingly pretty (at least to this sweat-like-a-pig to make it happen beholder), but it was a sticky process that ended in a gummy thumb-like product. (look at that one in the lower middle! It hella looks like a thumb!) Sweet potato gnocchi with sage and brown butter sauce. sauce is a misnomer.

you can take the dumpling out of china

back in biz!
