Not sure if I’ve mentioned it, but my father-in-law used to own restaurants in China Town.  He is now retired, but his cooking is still VERY good, to say the least.  My sons are spoiled rotten by his food.  For example, he would make this seafood chow mein (noodle), and I can eat that for days.  The shrimps are never tough, the sauce is always perfect, and the noodle is always crunchy.

As he gets older, we get more worried about not being able to duplicate his cooking.  So my husband declairs that he is starting a family cook book to store our favorite recipes.  Well, when my husband decides to do something, that usually involves my help.  I told him that he really should start a blog, and make it private for now, and start adding recipes as we collect the tips and tricks from his father, mother, and my side of the family as well.  He seems to like this idea a lot, so I now need to start working on it. 

I am super excited about this project.  Not only does it serve my tummy well, but I think it will be great to do as a family.  I think this will help make our relationship tighter with our parents, and they will appreciate the fact that we want to keep their cooking alive.  It will be great for our kids to observe, so hopefully they will want to learn all about it too.

Please, any idea will be welcome.  Please write to me if you have any favorite dish too!
