For those of you who remember, I mentioned that I would like to start a Family Recipe blog for everyone in the family to contribute recipes so that we can duplicate the familiar delicious food.  It took a few months, but I finally created a blog.  Right now it’s for family only, because I’ve only written an intro, without any recipe yet!  I believe my first entry will have to be Beef Chow Fun.  It’s a favorite of the boys and my husband.  After making this dish about 50 million times, I think I finally got it right.  I will definitely share my recipe with all of you when I write it down.  The tough thing about writing recipe for me is that I don’t ever measure anything.

It’s funny that as I get older, I miss the food that I grew up with more and more.  I guess that’s why they call it comfort food.  This weekend, my sisters threw me an early birthday party.  The theme was comfort food.  It was all the food that I love and grew up with.  Some of them are very much “street food”, for the lack of a better term.  I had such a great time, and came home with a very full stomach!  I think it’s a great idea though.  Throwing a party and making food that you grow up with!  Or better yet, have everyone bring a dish of one of your favorite childhood food!  That would be a fun party!
