Fair enough! I was asking anyway just in case, as there wasn't mention of cards at the front.

I brought sweets!


Ingredients: [x]
Cooking: [x] [x]

Comments: Today is the Winter Solstice on the Chinese calender, so to celebrate, I made myself dumplings in soup (tong yuen)! They can be eaten either savoury or sweet, but my family traditionally makes them in sweet, ginger broth. Culturally, they are eaten together with family, and the round balls and bowl signify family together during these special days. I ran out of cane sugar blocks, so I made do. These dumplings are filled with sweet red bean. They also come in a variety of other fillings like peanut, black sesame, and others.

Neat dish, Iro! I wish I could taste that broth.

I can't wait until the event...

Check out my holiday centerpiece!

Comments: What Christmas holiday is complete without a little wine and some candles... and a creepy Santa winking at you ;)

Aww, that looks really nice. I like the bunnies - kind of nixes out the creepiness of the Santa winks. ;D

edit: BUTWAIT.. Is that a mounted Santa head on the wall?

Yes!!! I killed him... no Christmas this year

Haha! Well, well. I'll have to be careful if I'm ever invited over for dinner.

Hello loves <3

this looks like fun!

Make somethin, Linn-e!

And 'ello, Bill. :)

How beautiful! Oh and a dreidel! I wanna play! HAPPY HANUKKAH!

*purrs and nuzzles* Why thank you! :D Happy Hanukkah, and the like to you as well! That entire tray is full of dreidels that we collect throughout the years. There are a few crocheted ones as well! I love the tradition. Makes it fun. ♡

i made an ornament... out of cardboard and a coloring book >.> does that count?

Yes, Shadami, sure! :)

I have a savory dish to share!

Comments: We usually have quiche, scotch eggs and rice pudding on christmas day. This one I made early to test because it's a carbless one so no shell. I wanted to see if it was good enough for christmas and it's not bad. It's wrapped in bacon so really how can you go wrong. XD

Groovy - looks yummy! I've never attempted scotch eggs, shell or no. :)

It's getting harder to find the right kind of sausage and I'm not quite that hardcore to make my own. XD

I made something to drink!

Comments: So this was originally suppose to be a Virgin Grasshopper inspired by Hummy. I reached for the wrong food coloring and made an Elsa Shake instead. Ice cream, mint extract, ice, milk and blue food coloring. An Oops but still minty and tasty. XD
