It helped that this was "special" so they were a little more willing to try stuff. I'm definitely more adventurous in a restaurant.

They had a good time going to specialty grocery stores and stuff with me. I was impressed with how available the ingredients were. No Asian grocery stores where you stare at packages of things that you don't recognize with the only English being "Made in China"!Katherine Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12126062556416434416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5128730358349082407.post-69933379222333904362014-08-17T09:52:21.027-05:002014-08-17T09:52:21.027-05:00I can't make myself like e-cookbooks.
