Tagliatelle with Porcino Mushrooms

Sunday family dinner at Wendy's

when you get somebody like my Chinese-as-Chinese-can-be mum to make a salad (which is as foreign a concept as drinking milk, to the generations of the past), the results can be surprisingly good. Like this one with assortment of blanched Asian greens, chopped tomatoes, chilled apple chunks and hard-boiled egg all tossed with a handful of sunflower seed, pine kernel and sticky red dates. Perfect for a hot afternoon in the tropics.
