Wow, look what I found lurking in my old to-post folder! The last batch of photos from my London work trip back in spring of 2011. Yeah, the one where it became my mission in life to order steamed dumplings from every place within delivery range that made them. Seriously, I've got the pictures [...] I promised I would post about my turkey months ago, but time has flown by with the holidays and work and stuff. So here we go — my turkey talk in a pictorial format! The thing about planning a traditional Thanksgiving dinner when you’re not in the States is that you have to give your [...] Here is another canned delight from Sweden that brought I back from our trip this past December. Given, this one came straight from the grocery store’s prepared foods aisle and not from a gourmet food boutique. The first picture is slightly misleading, since I mixed a bowl of rice into the can o’ stuff. That [...] Back when I was attending UCLA, our default place for ordering pizza was Tony Maroni’s on Wilshire. While it wasn’t necessarily the best pizza I’d ever had in my life, the staff was friendly, the food was dependably good and they were really talented at remembering our orders and faces. The place is run by [...] Back in early November, I decided to take a stab at weekly menu planning in an effort to organize my grocery shopping lists, encourage the trying out of all those recipes I had stashed in my notebook and more efficiently make use of the ingredients I already had on hand. It worked surprisingly well for [...] Confession time — I’ve never actually made risotto before. In fact, I can’t recall if I’d ever even eaten it before making this particular dish. The thing is, it’s not too far off in consistency from the thick rice porridge that we called “moi” (I believe some people say congee as well, though I tend [...] Hey, wow — this might be the first time I’ve written about a recipe featuring meat other than chicken or seafood. I guess that sort of shows where our typical dining tendencies lie. (Well, if you don’t count the ground meat in lasagna, which I don’t since it’s not really the standout ingredient nor can [...] Back in the late 90′s, I was fortunate enough to visit New Orleans a couple of times (I don’t really count the times my family visited back when we lived in Houston because I was far too young to have a vote in what we did there) for lavish masquerade balls. If there are two [...] You want to hear something funny? I got a hit the other day from somebody searching for “kiwi mussels how to cook those bitches”. Somewhere out there is a very angry mollusk eater, and I hope that they found what they were looking for here. A quick search shows that I have three recipes for [...] It’s been a while since I did a WoW-related recipe post, hasn’t it? My last one was pretty easy, since it translated directly to what could be found in the supermarket. This one is along the same lines — Poached Sunscale Salmon! Like last time, I’ve taken some license in what sort of species would [...] |
