Dinner at Ah B's Place

For those who don't know who Ah B is, it's me. That's how Sylvia's parents call me. In Southern China people often put Ah in front of names. Her friends gave me another nickname, Xu Xian. In a Chinese myth, Xu Xian was the mortal husband of White Snake, a snake woman, who wanted to turn into human, and practiced being one for 1,000 years. Tsui Hark directed a really good movie based on this myth. It's one of the favorite films of my princess, watch it if you can.

Sylvia's family came over today. We cooked Hungarian dishes for them. As a starter we had some baguette with Hungarian salami, then mushroom soup, followed by pork stew with pasta and pickles, and finally a chocolate coated cottage cheese dessert called Túró Rudi. They also tried plum pálinka, the traditional Hungarian liquor. They seemed to like our cooking, and we had a good time.
