Annie bought some pig trotters (the two front feet, if you must know) to make Chinese-style pickled pig’s feet. After parboiling to remove the smell, she cut them up into large chunks.

Light and Crispy Waffles
From the October/November 2001 issue of Fine Cooking Magazine. The secret is to separate the egg whites from the yolks and beat the whites until they are glossy and can form soft peaks. Baking soda and baking powder were also used in this recipe to give it more lightness.
With a little butter and real maple syrup, this was great!

Moqua with bean thread vermicelli
Moqua (also known as Fuzzy Melon, Benincasa hispida var. chiehgua) peeled and sliced then stir-fried with minced garlic, bean thread vermicelli, shrimp, and homemade charsiu from my smoker. The smokiness from the charsiu really permeated the dish.

Grilled salmon, mashed potatoes, steamed cauliflower
Salmon fillet was sprinkled with salt and pepper, then grilled for 4 minutes per side. Dressing is a lemon-dill sauce. Mashed potatoes with granulated garlic, buttermilk, and parsley flakes. Steamed cauliflower on the side.
The fish came out perfect, but there was some sticking on the grill grates. Gotta remember to oil the grates before cooking.
Aloha, Nate
