Well, we got Covid and we got Tapas!  For this episode, we cooked a few Spanish Tapas while we were self-isolating.  We cooked: Patatas Bravas Spanish Tortilla Pinchitos Lots of potatoes, eggs, and meat skewers!  We enjoyed all of what we cooked, however the seasoning for the Pinchitos stole the show.  Later in the week, we used the same spices & marinade with Pork and Lamb.   Enjoy!

We try our hand at Brazilian food.  For this edition, we cooked three dishes: Picanha, Camarão No Leite de Coco, and Arroz e Feijão.   Picanha is top sirloin cap, a delicious cut of beef.  Camarão No Leite de Coco is shrimp cooked with peppers in a coconut milk sauce.  And, Arroz e Feijão is rice and beans -- a classic!   This was a great meal and did not require too much labor.  Thank you, Brazil!

This episode brings us to CHINA!  We're trying our hand at two delicious recipes from two different provinces:  Soup Dumplings ( Jiangsu Province)  & Hunan Beef ( Hunan Province ) We labored for hours prepping the dough, folding the pleats on the dumplings, reducing a soup into delicious gelatin, frying up marinaded flank steak -- suffice it to say, this was a lot of work, but a lot of reward too!  A most enjoyable meal.   Nothing like some hot dumps on a wintry evening to warm your soul.
