By now, if you know us, then you are aware of how important the right food can be to mark a special occasion, be it: a great geographical landmark, our various travels, new cultures and their people, or even major seismic events. After all, cuisine is the international tongue that speaks to us all clearly. The expression “Breaking bread” ,and sharing a meal, has always been the first step to gaining an understanding of those around you… and you may remember in Sunday School how Jesus was recognized by his style in breaking and sharing bread.
In any event, Saturday marks Laura and my 37th wedding anniversary. Believe it or not, there is actually a stone or material to mark this unusual anniversary, it is ALABASTER. Hmmmm … I guess I could buy Laura an 8′ chunk of wall board… but that doesn’t sound very romantic… unless you view it as something to strengthen a well loved home.
Back to food, around the time of the Beijing Olympics , Laura was searching for one of her favorite Chinese meals to fully enjoy the festive occasion. She found a wonderful recipe for sweet and sour pork and added her own twist of vegetables. This will be our anniversary dinner as well.
Here is the recipe and Laura’s variation
Now, what to buy? …….. Is ten sheets of wall board too much?
