Cherries, Chicken feet & Indian Cheese

We went to California to visit my brother and sister-in-law and their newborn son...here is a collage two are Parker and two are my brother Peter as a newborn...scary, huh?



I love fruit...I love mangoes, watermelon, mandarin oranges, guavas, some that I don't know the English translation for...and while I love a good cherry, I seldom purchase them as they are rarely sweet and even on sale are at least $3.99 but this trip to California, my mother and I went to Chinatown and found the most delicious cherries for $0.59 a lbs...over the course of my trip (a few weeks) I purchased and ate over 7 pounds of cherries...and am missing them greatly...

I chose to forgo the large camera and didn't bring a camera on this trip...so, all my pictures are still on my mom's camera so...here is a tribute to all of my favorite foods while I'm at home. Homemade green onion pancake.



Walnut Shrimp...


Dim Sum...


is not Dim Sum without a good serving of Chicken Feet...judge all you want...I stand by them.



I've been going to Genova's since I was a little girl and would eagerly look forward to the owner offering me a free slice of hard salami. ..and this trip, I went with Max and the owner remembered me and offered Max a free slice.



Some Palak Paneer and Naan...mmmmm.




A lengua burrito.

My mom's Chinese Eggplant.

...and last but not least, some sweetened soy milk and stinky tofu!!!
