Creative Cooking With A Foodie Flair
Schloppy Joes. Schlop, Schloppy Joes. Or I guess in the Korean language it’s: 묽고 싱거운 조. 묽고 싱거운 묽고 싱거운 조. And I didn’t even have to look that up! Oh and by the way, I totally had to look that up. So a little while back, a package arrived on my front stoop. I’m [...]
Do you see the far left of this picture and how it becomes naked and bare and sad and lonely and cheese-less? That is my life. Wait, it’s not MY life rather, but my husband’s life. It’s not really his LIFE LIFE. He has a good life. I mean, I’m in it, hey-ohhhhhh! Oh. I’m [...]
Sometimes when I’m cooking and the food is in the pan or skillet or pot or whatever and it looks so lovely, all simmering with merriment and mirth, and then I transfer the food to a bowl or plate to serve, and somehow it transforms from a thing of beauty and wonder to a pile [...]
Kiss me, I’m . . . hyper? Wait, that’s not it. Actually, my maiden name is Blann. Might as well be O’Blann, right? O’Blann of the Thistle and Shamrock. O’Blann and the Four-Leaf Clovers (that would be my band). O’Blann’s dancin’ her fifth jig out there, lassie! Top of the morning to her face! So [...]
I gave you my Valentine’s Day food yesterday so that today I could give you these. I gave her my heart and she gave me a pen. (name that movie) I’ve always wondered exactly what kind of pen she gave him. Because I like pens! I would have been excited about the pen. This is, [...]
How about a burger? But wait. I don’t think y’awnderstaaaaand the situaaation. (said like Bill Cosby) It all started one Saturday morning last fall as I was meticulously planning the weekend with Pinterest in my lap and PBS on the TVs. Or as I like to call it: Inspiration Station. Don’t have a ticket? That’s [...]
Another Thanksgiving under the belt. Another muffin top above it, I MEAN RIGHT CAN I GET A WHAT . . . WHAT. One line in and I’m already screaming at you. I trust you all had a smashing holiday break! Get this, I closed my laptop on Wednesday afternoon and opened it y-e-s-t-e-r-d-a-y afternoon. Five [...]
Nooooot my most attractive meal to date. Ohhhhhhh ho ho ho, man. I can only seriously hope and pray and wish that you’ve either seen or eat or witnessed someone else eat saag in an Indian restaurant before and that you know what it looks like, and that you’ve not already gotten sick to your [...]
Time for çheelee! That’s the way I say çhili. Cheelee. And you have to raise your eyebrows real high like those çreepy çartoony çharaçters in Soundgarden’s old video Blaçk Hole Sun. And the L sound has to be really enunçiated, like to the point where there’s almost spit in the çorners of your mouth. And [...]
I swear this is the last of the Asiany foods for a while. And ohhhh my is it a doozer. I’ve rather enjoyed our little trip together! We’ve canoed through rivers of fish sauce. We’ve snorkeled in soy. We’ve climbed the ropes of vermicelli noodles. And today we shall bok the choy. Wait! I [...]
