This is my first posting for what I hope to be a record of my trials and triumphs of cooking, eating, and entertaining, for now all done from Qingdao, China. My husband, Turner, and I are foreign experts, teaching at a university in this "lovely" coastal city well-known for seafood and Tsingtao beer, both of which I will discuss at some point I'm sure.
My dad and both my grand fathers died from blocked arteries so I try to limit my intake of fat. That recipe for butter free cake sounds like just the thing for me. Those "baozi" look pretty darn good. How about delving into the secrets of the baozi?
Uniting the east with the west, bread is common to all world cuisines. Thus, baguettes represent my European roots and baozi, or steamed dumplings, my adopted home in China.
I am starting my second year of doctoral work in English literature. I live in Buffalo, New York with my lovely husband and beautiful dog, tending my pumpkin patch and wishing for a glass slipper.
