What made you happy today?

Sticking to my guns when things got really, really hard. I'm proud of myself, which doesn't happen often.

If I tell you a really good online source for Asian ingredients will you share? I often use Cooking with Lau for Chinese/Cantonese dishes. Maangchi for Korean dishes.

Ohh, okay then... You convinced me
Thank you for the helpful link! We'll definitely check that out.

This is the Chef's recipe on her website...
CiCi Li - Cantonese Pork Char Siu

She shares a lot of her videos on FB too:

The only thing we did different is used lean Pork Loin rather than Pork Belly. And since it was on the small side (1/2 lb) Mom cooked it for 20 min / 20 min, rather than the 30/30.
Both sounded like too much cooking! But it was not overdone at all, rather perfect in fact. Just trust her recipe for sure!

This looks very similar to Cooking with Lau's recipe. Pork butt or pork shoulder works well too.

I want to try it now.

I want to place an order on Weee! so bad. I want to make jjajangmyeon too, but I need some of the ingredients. Weee! has them, of course.

Mom wants me to add (with lots of hand motions)... "Tell them lots of stabbing. Stabby stab stab! I was thinking of my ex husband. Stabby stab stab!"
* I edited out some of the "stabbies"

And it works! The flavor was all the way through the meat. Not just meat with flavor on it...

Lau showed the stabbing too. That does seem to be an essential part of the cooking process.

It makes me very happy that my loved ones got me a nice set of Beats head set so I can fall asleep llistening to the music I love. Every night I feel wrapped in their love.

Well done!

1 - It rained!
2 - I got to drive in the rain, which I love.
3 - I used a raincoat and an umbrella. So rare.
4 - Someone asked me for help getting an item off the top shelf in the grocery store. I'm tall and this always makes me happy, to help someone.

Oh! I know, I almost forgot! I got ready to pay my credit card bill, only to see that my balance was: $0.00! I didn't spend anything last month!
That made me really happy!
