As I write this the snow is falling and Banh Chung is boiling in our pot, 5 squares (well not exact but square-like).....Matteo and I both had a great night's sleep for the most part (though we've both been really cranky with each other all morning) though Matteo still had a fever at 2 in the morning but otherwise has been fever free since waking up. I, on the other hand, still have symptoms, but am feeling better so with a little better health on our sides I decided to try to assemble the banh chung, otherwise it too would head to the freezer.
The following are photos of Matteo helping out at the start....of course I did the folding and tying etc...I learned an awful lot and definitely a little mould would help - but we managed. There is an Italian expression that says something about the first time you make something, don't expect it to be great, so I wanted to just go through the process to understand all its parts. For now, I'm happy with the results...and of course, hope it tastes good too!!
So once again Happy New Year!
