For some reason, Toni was inspired to cook Chinese food for one and all; and so it came to pass that on Wednesday the 6th of January 2010, those of us who were able to gather met at the Settlement for home-made Chinese food. 
Amongst the dishes were: fried wonton, chicken and leek bao, sesame chicken with steamed rice, and chicken fried rice. It was quite the fare! (The wonton was not quite as massive as it had been when Darya made them back in 2006 — you know, ‘cuz we had enough to last us a month — but we did have wonton on a Wednesday, and I liked it as a title.) I would like to say I made a great contribution, but really, all I did was bring the party rice cooker. You know, since every Asian household has multiple rice cookers and one of them is always the “party” rice cooker. In sooth, I had not seen that one busted out since the late 90’s, back when my family actually hosted parties and the like. I had joked with Toni that my presence there whilst she cooked would bring positive Chinese energy to the cooking; it was all very Feng Shui.
How sad is it that I don’t actually know how to cook Chinese food? Thanks for the great food and the fun, Toni! Xie xie!
