Easter Break

This Thursday we go on Easter  break, and I am so ready for it. Jennifer and I have been planning to make bao buns (steamed buns) for what feels like months. It was going to just be us, but now we’re going to have some other friends come over. You know what that means? I had to go back and modify the recipes several times to match whatever quantities we needed for five people. I don’t think we can, nor should make sixty buns for five people, so I just decided to quadruple the bun recipe, which will make 48 buns, and to double the other two recipes, splitting the buns into 24 each. We plan on making Char Siu bao, a barbeque pork bun, and dou sha bao, a red bean paste bun. The dou sha bao will basically be the dessert for the day, and if Jennifer happens to make rice, we can use the extra sauce to make fried rice or to dip the pork buns in. This weekend will definitely be fun because I’ll get to hang with some old friends that I haven’t seen since this time last year. I’ll get to subject them to my cooking as well, so that’ll be extra fun. I’m so ready for this week to be over with! 

P.S.: I added links for the buns we’re going to make because maybe one of y’all will want to make them one day!

The girl from D'Iberville is a really dull girl. She locks herself up in her room, content to spend her time reading and occasionally writing. She loves to read little YA romances and sometimes finds herself with books about history. The main thing motivating her writing is her overactive imagination and the strange dreams that plague her sleep. Her works also stem from what she has heard from music, conversations, or when half asleep. Crazed killers, haunted mirrors, and murderous siblings seem to be part of her stories in some way, but they always start off in her dreams. She started writing when she was in middle school, but had been telling stories since she was little. View all posts by Morgan Crosby
