A steamy date night!

Steamed buns anyone?

(We knew Taffy and Garth would enjoy this)

***
We are very proud to say that we have a new found hobby making steamed meat buns! It was one of my favorite things to eat in Taiwan and Katie's favorite now since we've been here in China.  We bought the biggest steamer we could find and found the recipes online and have had a lot of fun with it!  Katie is a wrapping queen making perfect folds around the bun that makes them look super legit.  We decided to give the Chinese buns an American twist and substituted the mystery meat with barbeque chicken, cheese, and pineapple.  I ain't gonna lie, it was pretty awesome!  We even treated ourselves to a little A&W root beer that we found at a local import store.  God bless America! It was a really fun date night and we were definitely stuffed to the brim. 
 


The cheese cost us our plane ticket home but it was worth it.





Hot Buns!

Do you know the street value of this stuff?


 吃饱了!
