Jason and I square off for the cooking competition

Fresh shrimp spring rolls: left - Jason, right - Joy

Okay, I'll have to give it to Jason, I'll take the draw on this one.  Clearly there was no clear winner here, although Jason likes to think his were better.

Shrimp ad green onion pancake: left-Jason, right - Joy

Umm, this was one is pretty clear, given the dark burn marks, and part of Jason's pancake missing.  Mine was fully intack, and looking really tasty.

Vegetable Garnish: left -Jason , right - Joy

This one is a no-brainer!  I think Jason just gave up when he saw how much better my skills were then his.  Victory is oh so sweet. . .

Cucumber flower garnish, which was quite fun to do

Pineapple boat with calamari and vegetables-never cooked this but got to eat it
