Food and Blades

In being laid off, I've had a lot of time to do some old school Chinese cooking, revising some of my favorite recipes as a kid. Both of my parents were chefs with 2 restaurants in NYC, so I often cook to remember those fun times I had hanging out in our Greenwich Village restaurant.

Today, I was craving West Lake soup and Sichuan ground pork with long hot peppers and black bean and garlic sauce. I didn't have the long peppers available as we're sheltering in place so I ended up making my mom's version of egg drop soup. The funniest thing was egg drop soup at a Chinese restaurant was modified at home and we always called it corn soup.

After working most of the day outdoors we finished up by ordering delivery, as it was just too late to start cooking. Pan butter corn crust, followed by fresh mozzarella, then flattened sweet Italian sausage spread over the cheese, topped with sauce and chunked tomatoes. It’s a different way to layer it up than usual, but it’s delicious this way. It was a 2 hour and 20 minute wait today, that’s how popular and busy they are.

Cinco de mayo is coming up soon, any chance we can get some Mexcian food pics? Maybe with some beer, maybe even Mexican beer or other strong beverages, and of course knives!! Ones used to make the food, or used to enjoy it!! Anyone create some other, different Mexican dishes? Mole? Hope this generates some great pics.

I've got a Zoom party thing on the 5th with some friends and the theme is tacos and tequila.
Not sure about the tequila but I'll certainly have a few brews.
I'll come up with something tasty.:)

Thanks, found that I like Modelo Negra and to a lesser degree, Modelo Especial. Have not tried Tecate, someone said it is good, I think so only because it comes in a 24 oz can!! :rolleyes:
