Another Honor Roll

I couldn't resist putting this pic up...you can't see the rest of Liam, but it is soooooo him right now! The assembly was actually the 17th, but end of quarter was March 9. I am sure there will be one more for this year then on to High School!

Bao

Liam loves steam buns, we have found some decent frozen ones from Safeway, but Rose doesn't really care for the sauce that is on the pork filling. (It is very sweet.) I found a package of mix to make the bun part at one of the asian markets here in town. It smelled a little stale when i started mixing it and I'm not sure I followed the directions correctly...resting, mixing, and kneading all seemed to be used interchangeably. Anyways, they turned out pretty well. I made a simple filling of ground turkey seasoned with more of a Thai bent (onion, pepper, ginger, garlic, fish sauce, soy, sugar). Abbie Rose liked the flavor better, but I should have pureed the peppers and onions instead of leaving them diced. The texture still bothers her to eat. Next time I plan to make my own dough, in the meantime there are 6 more from this batch waiting in the freezer :)
