Dinner at Grandma's House :)

One of my favorite parts about spending the day with my Grandma in Stockton is when she makes dinner, and I get to learn how to cook from her.

Tonight, she made a couple of things that I've made with her before (string beans and steamed fish) and one new dish, winter melon soup.

Grandma just went to China a couple of months ago with my cousin, Bruce, and his family. While she was there, one of the members of her family there gave her a large bag of dried winter melon. Apparently, they had a very large chinese winter melon that they couldn't eat in its entirety, so they dried a large portion of it, and gave it to her. I've had winter melon soup several times, but I've never watched Grandma make it.

I should post Grandmas's recipe's here sometime so I can reference them easily in the future. I'll get to that soon.

Here are some photos I took of tonight's' dinner.

Thank you, Grandma!
