Weekend lunch, now it is not easy for the whole family to get together, the post-80s sometimes have to participate in team building, sometimes have to work overtime, sometimes have to accompany their children to participate in offline activities, a family of five rarely get together to eat a reunion dinner.
When we know that they are coming to the house, the wife and children will go to the vegetable market in the morning to purchase, usually just our old two, a little vegetable is enough to eat, eat as you buy and eat fresh. But when the children come home, they have to make something they love to eat, a little hard food, meat and fish.
Although they are all home-cooked meals, they are nothing more than two more dishes than usual. My granddaughter likes to eat my home-cooked cakes, and I have specially burned two flavors today, one is a green onion cake and the other is a pretzel, let her choose.
Before cooking spiced edamame and peanuts, the wife has to cut off the head and tail of the edamame; the peanuts have to press each one into a small hole, in order to quickly make them more flavorful and more enjoyable. Isn't that increasing the workload for yourself, hey, I can't do anything about it. In order for the child to eat well, he must be so dedicated and try.
Let me briefly talk about the preparation of this meal, which may not be to your family's taste, but my family loves it.
