BMC Christmas Breakfast 2010

Time for the annual Christmas Breakfast where Administration serves all employees with food. This year, the theme was "Christmas In Italy" and hence, the decorations included a gondola, tiered roman-figurine trays, masquerade masks as decoration, and worn by the managers/directors.... To sum it up, it was loads of fun and everyone enjoyed it so much! :)

Circus-theme Fair Catering & Sysco Holiday Show 2010

For the Benefits Fair, we had a lemonade stand, along with fruits, pretzel trail mix basket, and caramel popcorn. I didn't have my camera, and hence took pictures with my iphone instead. :)

 How this fruit display was made? Firstly, you need a square Styrofoam. ( can be bought from any arts and craft store). Using toothpicks, stick the grapes into the foam. Fill in the gaps with strawberries and kiwi. :)

Some Pictures from the Sysco Holiday food show.lots of entree like turkey, ravioli, etc...

Fig and mascarpone phyllo...

Decorate plain bundt cakes with assorted colors to make it holiday-looking

Wrap them up in bags as gifts

Wrap figs in cheese slices, and place them on top of mini toasted bread

 Blend cream cheese with the seasoning and place them on top of veggies

 What I did yesterday! Rapelling @ Joshua Tree!

 90 feet above the ground....and held by these ropes secured between rocks. It took a lot of courage, faith, encouragement.....

 But I did it!! :)

Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you." Deuteronomy 31:6

LLBN Chinese Cooking Show Episode 6 to 12

Today marks the end of our 12 episodes of cooking show with Esther Choo! :)

Here's a picture with the director, Cheri :)

More pictures of Esther and I with the food. We took a picture after each recording.

The picture above shows the last episode where we made Lettuce wrap, and Mushroom Pancake :)

In this show, we made Kimchi, and Kimchi Tofu soup! It is really interesting that she puts apple in the kimchi. It taste really good, and ahh...natural. :)

7 layer Haystacks :)

Thai Vermicelli Salad, and Cantaloupe Salad.

Refreshing salads that can be made easily for a large crowd.

Cold Sesame Noodle and Vege Duck...Cool to see how it's made. The technique of rolling cannot be taught in books. You will have to watch it on www.llbn.tv, Chinese channel.

Lotus Leaf Rice and Cold Sesame Noodle. Love it..especially the Glutinous rice in lotus leaf!

Lotus leaf that is washed, and cut. Need to soak in cold, hot, followed by cold water...

Second last episode, we made Vegetarian Fish and Thai Green Curry. Vege fish looks gourmet but it is actually easy to make. :)

Picture with the crew who work hard behind the scenes! :)
I am really excited to make these recipes that Esther Choo shared, especially the Rice wrapped in Lotus leaf. It is a blessing to be able to be a part of this program and hope to do more in the future. I can't thank God enough for the way He has led me, and the simple fact that I am doing what I love. I am still learning on how I can improve and this is the first step. :) Praise God from whom all blessings flow..and to God be the glory! :)
