I was enjoying much of September weather here since I came back from holidays. Cool temperature of 20C and perfect blue sky reckon for a get together for lunch with friends to catch up or could have them around to be my culinary guinea pigs. ;-)
I just invited my friends over telling them it's gonna be a simple meal. Here's my list of DIY dim sum, making almost everything from scratch. :-)

Hi Ann,
As commented by Algernond [the highly skilled photographer], it's the camera that's too complex to work with. Do not worry Ann, stay tuned, I will share here some great and easy recipes for you to try. Come over here and I'll cook a storm for you guys. :-)
Hi Algernond,
Next time read the manual first :-)

Hi Susie,
Thanks for your comment. Cooking is about learning from others (i.e recipes book, chef on TV, friends who cook, etc), so I'm sure you'll be able to whip up good dim sum too :-).
