SubscribeA visitor arrived in Minnesota for the New Year holiday last week and it is only fitting that his first meal at Red Moon included direct eye-contact with one of the dishes.
Fish that put up a fight on the table, too -- these bony crappies require lots of skill.
Check out the steamed crappies — eyeballs and all. My dad is always happy to have someone come in through the back of Red Moon with a bucket of something special. These came from one of my brother’s childhood friends that afternoon — fresh out of Prior Lake. And just so you anglers are aware — bring fresh fish to Red Moon and my dad will trade for a bag of takeout. It’s a pretty good deal.

Anyhow… Luckily (for both Ted and me, quite frankly) my dad also prepared a wonderful plate of Mongolian Beef. I just thought it was funny because the last time Ted got a meal that included traditional Chinese fare, at least three dishes arrived at the table with the animal’s head still on. That was back in Zhuhai, China in August of 2007.
Happy New Year to all of my “The Sweet, The Sour” readers out there. I’m now officially off of my holiday hiatus and back to blogging. Here’s to a happy and healthy 2010!
