quick update

As you can see we've posted a tentative menu up. Rosy and I agree that the only thing we need on the menu before we're ready is a vegetarian pot sticker. Some things might change though due to the availablility of the ingredient. I've been getting the meatier part of the pork belly from the Ranch 99 dude, essentially cutting 1/3 off the thicker end piece of the slab of belly and he is none too pleased. In most cases I just fein ignorance when he starts protesting. Russell Peters has been my angel telling me to just "do the right tin" but I flick him away annoyingly and demand in english the cut I want. Even though all of this is playing out in my head, I assure you it's completely normal, for me. I suspect that this might not work for getting these bellies in any meanful quantity. So sad to say but I think I'm going to have to experiment with some Boston butts.

So Wednesday was my last day at the office. In order to keep me up on my feet and avoid getting hemorrhoids in the weeks to come, my dumpling skin rolling practice is due to start next week in addition to modifications in my bibimbap pot sticker recipe. The reason for the skin rolling practice is because Rosy and I went to a Shanghainese restaurant two days ago and I realized that store bought pot sticker skins are just not going to cut it. Their skin is light and crunchy, not merely a vessel. And on the tshirt front, I threw the sketch onto Photoshop and this is the result. Let me know what you think.
