MJ's little flock

Gyoza is so yummy! Didn't yours stick to the paper plate Bob?

Gyoza ~ now there's a great chicken name!

I know it's not quite the weekend MJ but my tiny Chinese tea set just arrived and I wanted to show it off.

Who was saying that the Lavender and Shadrach mugs don't hold much? These little cups hold about as much as an egg cup. I end up drinking 3 of 4 tiny cups of tea at a sitting.

Here it is with my tea pet.

You may notice that I also bought a special draining trivet for my Tea Pet. I don't have to worry about overflows from one cup of tea now.

So lovely

Marvelous. They are so amazing when you see them behave like this. They seem to have so much compassion for each other at times.

I was very touched by her generosity to her old friend.

They're such endearing little creatures. I'm so glad Ivy is no longer broody too. As a group they seem more content when she's gadding about with them.

 

[MaryJanet]

I have to agree. When Penny and Bessie were sick, the others would sit with them. When Charlie was in broody jail, Lucy and Chickie would sit with her.

If that's not evidence of gentleness and care I don't know what is.

Oh! I'm doing what Dad did. Maybe he had his own way?

Here risotto is all constant stirring and addition of liquid. Your way sounds loads easier.

Of course, because she's Ivy and provides balance to their world!

These are 9 to 10 inches in diameter. Not the same thing. See it covers the whole dinner plate.

Looks like the pancakes I make.

Amazing! And what a lovely delicious looking lunch you have there as well.

Is that the traditional Chinese bunny serving tray I see?

Definitely Traditional.

That entire setting looks amazing!

I never have anything that looks that nice, but I mainly cook for 3 kids...

Well, the plate is actually a preschoolers plate to keep the food in separate areas for picky eaters. So I suppose you could use it for kids.

How lovely. Love the color.

That is really lovely & it is so nice to see your tea pet in action.

Thank you. I love the colour too.
It feels really nice in the hand as well.
My tea pet can get used lots more now that she has her own trivet. Now I have a small pot so I can leave the tea leaves in unsoaking and just top it up with hot water over the course of the day and she can have the dregs.
