More Food This Week

This week had more food involved in it with visitors.

Tuesday night was Hot Pot with the training team Gwen will be traveling with over the next 5 weeks.

Half the pot was Sichuan spicy and half was a milder egg based soup.

Soup ready - now bring on the food.

Here is the food - beef, dumplings, cheese balls, fried fish skin, squid, cuttlefish balls, lamb, and some vegetables.

Stephanie braved the fried fish skin first.

Steph liked it so everyone tried it also - and the consensus around the table that it was good - like a potato chip.

Here is Gwen's cheese ball.  This reminded the MN crowd of a Juicy Lucy - which we had to explain to Raj and Morag.

Thursday night we took Stephanie to a vegetarian Indian restaurant - here she is eating a sweet dessert.

Thursday afternoon we had 'tea time' with the captains in the Hong Kong office working on our project.

Local egg tarts.

Here is a sampling of the treat - Taiwanese cookies, egg tarts, milk tea and another sweet (I can't remember what it was).

All the captains in the Hong Kong office.

Patrick arrived safely in Corolla, NC where he will be spending a week and a half with his family celebrating his parent's 50th wedding anniversary.

Gwen leaves on Wednesday for 10 days in Shanghai,China,  20 days in Seoul, S Korea and 7 days in New Delhi, India.  There will be lots of pictures taken, but not sure of the ability to blog.  So if I don't find a way - I will be writing again in September.
