2 – Mandoo Wrap Party
I was at Whole Foods today to buy my ingredients for mandoo for my duk mandoo soup, a soup that is typically eaten on New Year’s Day (the rice cake is supposed to bring health and prosperity in the new year). Anyway, I found all the ingredients for the mandoo filling, but I couldn’t find the Nasoya eggroll wrappers in its usual cooler. I chased down an associate and asked if they still carried “wonton” wrappers. The associate cheerily replied that they were sold out. Sold out? Really? Then a totally insane notion flashed through my cold-induced hazy head that maybe I should try making the wrappers from scratch. I returned home and searched for a recipe and found this one. I’ll sleep on it and let you know what I decide, though this cold is really deterring me from wanting to do anything. Enough of my whining, what are some of your New Year’s Day traditions?
3 – Happy New Year!
I swear each year goes by faster and faster. It’s been a fun year, made more fun by #SundaySupper! The only resolution I make every year is NOT to make any resolutions. 🙂 I’m looking forward to 2013 and will continue to challenge myself, try new recipes (like, homemade ramen noodles and homemade tofu), and maybe even attend at least one food blogging conference. Happy new year! See you in 2013!
