Tonight I dug out our old bamboo steamer which had been in storage for a few years. I don't know why in storage, because we have always loved the oriental steamed recipes, but with several moves in the last years, this item was simply packed away. Until...
I found this wonderful recipe that blogger friend, Mary, had on her site, One Perfect Bite. We enjoyed it so very much and I am sure will make it again. Mary, right now, is traveling in SE Asia and is still publishing her blog. I am anxiously awaiting her pictures and news from there.
Thank you, Mary, for a wonderful meal this evening. We even enjoyed a cabbage slaw with an oriental peanut dressing that went with it great.

Old Friends
I have always enjoyed reunions--meeting again with old friends that many years have parted. Tonight was one of those reunions. Back in the 70's, we lived in Michigan and our neighbors were Connie and Dave and their two children. We moved away, thought of them infrequently, but remembered them well. Because of Facebook, our daughters reunited and they in turn reunited the parents. Little did we know that these friends wintered in Florida, very near to us. So tonight we had dinner together in a favorite restaurant of ours.
It was so strange, talking about people we knew 30 years ago. When you get our ages, you find out that many have died, divorced or just remained the same. I have always loved stepping back into the past for a little while. It was a great evening of memories and hopefully we can get together again before the snow birds leave.

Moules Frites
Tonight we indulged and had a favorite meal we enjoy when in France. Moules Frites. It is by far the most tactile meal to eat and we just simply love mussels.
My childhood friend, Larry, who lived in Belgium for many years would tend to argue that the best Moules Frites come from Belgium. I just know that every time I ate them in France, and especially Normandy, they were wonderful.
This tasted very good this evening, but it must be the atmosphere that was missing. Perhaps someday soon, we can enjoy Moules Frites in France again.
