Tag Archive: Fusion

This was a fun one. I don’t particularly remember why I chose to do a Chinese fusion menu – my first thought in looking back is that it was while I was dating Lee, from Chiuchow, China, and it’s possible, though there’s already a dinner where I played around with a specifically Chiuchow dish. Then again, they’re only six months apart, and we dated for a bit over a year. And I have this vague memory of him talking about his mother preparing black chicken and missing the dish. Who remembers? What I do know, is that my friend Frank, a long standing dining companion and illustrator of my books, followed me around for the day with his camera, and shot a couple of rolls of film, from shopping, to views from my window, to the ingredients, to the preparation. I would have thought that there would be photos of the finished dishes too, but so far I haven’t come across those. I’ve picked out about a dozen photos from those that I do have and scanned them in.
