Got a new book last week, Grace Young's Stir-Frying.... and it is a great book. It's not an Asian cookbook, but rather it is the result of taking the stir-fry method of cooking wherever Chinese immigrants migrated to from China. They kept their beloved stir-fry, but adapted to the ingredients of their adopted countries.
Really some interesting combinations -
Jamaican Jerk Chicken fried rice
or
Chinese Peruvian Stir-Fried filet mignon
I also finally replaced my old nothing wok that I have hated ever since someone gave it to me years ago. Don't know why it took so long to replace - I hope I live long enough for a wonderful patina to develop!!!!!
I bought a 14" flat bottomed carbon steel that I have been yearning for. I'm keeping it on the stove, so I'll continually use it for a few months. I'm excited.

Retired and having fun writing cookbooks, tasting wine and sharing recipes with all my friends.
