Sweet and Sour MeatballsI served this at an informal dinner as mini-cocktail meatballs (1" size) but in a sweet and sour sauce, rather than barbecue, and everyone loved them.

Shrimp and Tofu with Bok ChoyThis is a tasty, Chinese inspired dish that our family loved. Ladle it over brown or jasmine rice on a cool evening.

They've added peppercorns, dried chilli & something I've never… |
