Asian Fire Meat and Sesame Noodles

I made the Asian Fire meat tonight along with the sesame noodles. They were both fantastic!
I rolled the meat in regular iceberg lettuce like burritos. I didn't add the onions or leeks to the meat though, not really a fan of either. I added some chopped red bell pepper, a couple handfuls of baby spinach and shredded carrot to the noodles. The girls and Andy loved this!
You could make the sauce for the meat and add it to the meat before freezing.

China pics

Hannah riding her bike in the backyard. The kids all got new bikes from their Aunt and Uncle, they had a blast riding them on the good weather days. Parker was caught red handed in the sand, something he knew he shouldn't be playing in. He knew he was in trouble with Mom and Dad, Grandma came to his rescue and gave him a free pass to play, she even rounded up some toys for him to play with.


An old style accountant, he had a bowl of beans, a real bean counter!

The Chinese pavillion for the Shanghai Expo. Grandpa's friend was able to get us in to see all the buildings even though most of them are still under construction.

Hannah and Parker were enjoying the nice sunny day and the great grass!




Lunch with the cousins.

Parker was so proud of his new fire truck!
Farewell dinner at home.
