上個周末圓導家開Party, 我兩手空空跑去湊熱鬧，沒被轟出來，圓導還熱情的拉我入坐，請我好吃好喝。那盛情得用大號盆子來盛, 真盆友!

我正想著做圓食去還圓導的美意呢，就聽見曉青吆喝圓導又要頒獎了。重賞之下必有勇婦，更何況我是得過獎的廚娘,  圓導親自頒獎鼓勵的。看這獎品多漂亮！

曉青說重在參與，一盤菜也行。緊跟領導不會錯。她做的燉雞，雞背圓的。我炒蝦，蝦弓起身子成個圓圈，正好獻給圓導和小導們做圓食。

貓吃蝦不？貓愛吃魚我知道，我家的貓孫還愛吃火雞。說我女婿把他的貓寵上天是太誇張了，但他家的餐桌總要給貓留個位子，邊吃邊喂貓。我家小美人很為她末來的小外甥擔憂. 姐姐和姐夫這樣寵貓，將來有了孩子怎麽管教！

這樣簡單一盤菜大家都會就不用我寫做法了。用英文存檔給女兒和她們的洋人小朋友們，將明年的計劃提前施行。我的菜賣相不佳，卻很受大小朋友們歡迎，常問我要recipe，可能是改良口味的Chinese food 比較適合小洋鬼子們的口味。

荔枝說人家嫌我們又土又老還out, 那不就是土老外嘛! 土老外有個特征,饞中餐。好吧我認了,幹脆開個土老外廚房,  教我自家的土小外和她們的小洋鬼子朋友們做中國菜, 用英文將Chinese food進行到底!
