Pretend Chat 2.14

I have two daughters. The younger one was in SoCal but moved back to Bay Area at the end of summer this year after her boyfriend finished his Doctor program in Physical therapy.

My order daughter are always lives near me. She been with city for about three years now. Good to have them near by......

Here is some photo I downloaded from the net..........





Basically is to have a boiled pot on the dinning table, then you cook all kind of items in it as you like. It will take time......but lots fun doing it.

That is so cool! I have never heard of hot pot before. Is it similar to fondue? What is boiling in the pot? Do you eat each thing separate as you cook it?

Here in the UK, a hotpot is a stew made of lamb and topped with sliced potato before being baked in the oven

Here's a recipe for it Lancashire Hotpot | BBC Good Food

Yes.....It is similar like fondue.....It is very popular in many Asia countries like Japan, Korea, Vietnam, of cause, in China. Most the item are raw, we then cook each item of your choice in the boiling pot till food is cooked. then you put in the bowl of the sauce your own which may includes soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, scallion, cilantro, shallots paste, peanut butter, Chilis, vinegar and many, many possibilities as you like or wish.......

That is way this is so fun and delicious.

Good evening to you! I was wondering where you've been. Hey, I think Baby Runt made the calendar this year. If I tallied all the votes correctly, she's in 10th place, well within the 12 most voted pics. Whoa!!

Sitting in my car on break, listening to the wonderful sound of raindrops

She and you deserve it.

Lunch break and I am realizing how easy it would be to just drift off to sleep.

My daughter takes her lunch and coffee breaks in her car too. So, are you all ready for winter?

I would hate to be the person taking care of cleaning the kitchen after a meal like that!

Good Day all you chatters! Here in the Central VAlley of California we're experiencing a beautiful Autumn. The days are now in the 70's with nights dipping down to about 50F. It's very pleasant weather for working outside. The mulberry tree has started dropping the leaves that are way up on the top part of the tree. Looks pretty messy on the ground. Today I think I'm going to start gathering up leaves and getting the desert tortoise hibernaculum ready for winter.

What do you all have planned for the day?

Today is for travel...8 hours to Spokane.

My Oregon connection tells me it's raining up there. So drive carefully, the roads are slick. Are you going there to take pictures?
