The weekend prior to Thanksgiving was the perfect time to workshop some of our favorite family dishes. My dad and I prepared a quiet sunday dinner together: stir fried eggs and green beans, an aromatic dish of leafy greens, and a lotus root and fish patty that accompanies rice perfectly. As delicious as the meal was, spending an evening with my dad in the kitchen was even better.
