Dim sum! We prepared steamed dumplings Xiaolongbao style.
We found these delicious pre-prepared dumplings in the supermarket. Just steam and ready!
The dumplings had a filling of pork and vegetables. We enjoyed them with soy sauce.
Xiaolongbao is a type of traditional Chinese dumpling. They can be filled with many different ingredients: pork, beef, vegetables, seafood, shrimp… There is even one type that is filled with soup!

We prepared pasta with a tasty mix of seafood.
We found a delicious vegetable pasta tricolore with shapes of hearts and different colors. We prepared it with a mix of seafood and a special sauce based on olive oil, garlic and parsley.
Pasta is traditionally made of wheat flour, but in the last years it has become popular to make pasta from legumes (lentils, beans…) and other vegetables like spinach, red beet, and many others. These natural ingredients can bring different colors to the pasta. Also, nowadays it is very easy to find pasta with many different shapes, from the most traditional to very modern shapes: Halloween motives, Christmas motives, etc. Who says food cannot be fun?!

We got roasted duck Beijing style from the restaurant. We had it to take away.
We are thinking about preparing this recipe homemade. But first, we need to investigate about it. There is not a better way to do it than getting a first-hand experience, or in this case a first-taste experience
It is very crispy on the outside and very tender in the inside. The spices are very tasty, but don’t cover too much the original flavor of the duck. There were 3 small sides: rice with sweet and sour sauce; very tasty fried vegetables; and some fresh vegetables salad.
I wanted to analyze more the duck, but I ate it too quick. Maybe we will need to get some more… Or can we directly try to prepare it at home? We will find out soon.

We prepared instant-noodles upgrade. We added cooked tuna fish to our noodle shrimp flavor soup.
My ninja sensei once said: “you cannot see the tastiness for the flavors” (he just quoted: “you can’t see the wood for the tress” in the kitchen). It just reached inside of me and made me think. Is that true? Does a tree sound when it falls, and no one is around?
That day I realized that even the simplest recipe can be delicious and get the greatest tastiness!! I decided to fight against the flavors!!
We cut the tuna in cubes. Then, boiled it with salt and pepper for a few minutes.
We poured the water and tuna in our noodle bowls. Then, just waited until the noodles were ready.

I have a lot of fun playing with my reindeer. We love riding around the house.
We like to play like we are candy deliverers. We go getting candy to all the other plushies around the house. On some occasions, we can even get some for ourselves.

I found two witches that were hiding since Halloween!! They wanted to put magic spells on me!
I guess they didn’t know I know some magic too: “Alakazim alakazam! And they will vanish!”
My family asked me to review and clean up my boxes of candies. I must do this from time to time, according to them, not to stash candies for very long. I always say: No problem, I can clean up all the candy in a moment.

We prepared Gulyás soup Hungarian style.
It is a hot soup with tomato and pepper base. The ingredients can vary a bit on the taste of the cooker, but the most traditional will have beef, pepper, potatoes and will be very spicy!
Once we tried it in Hungary and became one of the favorites soups of Minimisiu. He always enjoys the spicy tastiness of the paprika. We just love it!

We prepared pierogi with mushrooms and pierogi with beef.
Pierogi is one of the most traditional polish recipes. You definitively cannot visit Poland and not try pierogi! It is one of their most beloved plates.
They are a type of dumpling, with a special recipe for the dough. There are all kinds of fillings: minced beef, mushrooms, white cheese and potatoes, lentils, spinach, raspberry, strawberry… They are super good and tasty but preparing them is not as easy as it seems. It is an art!

We have our 3 Kings cake ready. Who will be the next king?
This year we couldn’t get the typical cake that is eaten in Spain (“Roscón de reyes”). But we could get the typical cake that is eaten in France (“Galette Des Rois”).
