Creative Cooking With A Foodie Flair
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 [...]
You know how David Spade says the word “salon” in the old SNL skit, with the accent on the first syllable? Like, SAlon? That’s the way I like to say salad. SAlad. But you have to say it like SAlod and change the way the second syllable sounds, sort of hollowing it out a little, [...]
Whoa whoa WHOA. 2 posts in one day? I’M CRAZY LIKE THAT. I won’t keep you. I know it’s Saturday morning and you have cartoons to watch and maybe a crossword puzzle to solve over 13 gallons of coffee. BUT, I just haaave to make you make these bloody Mary oyster shots. Tomorrow, right now, [...]
So, as bistro week continues (the only real thing I learned about the meaning of “bistro” is that I need to grow a mustache for true authenticity. DONE. And gross.) we’re having steak and potatoes! By the way, bistro week did in fact start on Monday with Aaron’s pasta, and then on Tuesday with soup, [...]
DING DONG. The doorbell rings. The sun has set. I’m in egg nog-stained yoga pants and my sock bun doth saggeth. Gripping the 14 heart attacks scrambling to escape my chest bone, I walk over to the kitchen window and peek out to see a UPS truck zipping away, leaving me with a gigantic cardboard [...]
I didn’t intend to post two meatily chunks of meat recipes two days in a row. I guess I’m out of control. Maybe it’s the thing living in my left ear? Am I low on iron? Do I need to see someone about this? Take a vacation? Go back to bed? Watch Dirty Dancing? Whatever [...]
Remember last week when I made this dish? Well, when I bought the wax beans at the farmer’s market, the little basket was enough to feed at least 14 dinner parties. So, I’ve been eying the remaining half in my crisper for the last few days, wondering what to do with em, before they grow [...]
Yesterday after meeting up with an old dear friend for lunch, Aaron and I drove away from the restaurant craving a little summer mid-day treat. As we sat on the slick, white bench inside the beautifully minimal yet modern ice cream shop, I looked at Aaron and asked, “Okay, where do we need to be [...]
Even though the summer season doesn’t official begin for another couple of days, I sure am feeling it now. And I mean that in a good way. People are ferociously filling their eco-totes with fresh vegetables and fruits from the farmers’ markets. Couples in love and budding families are lounging over long lunches at restaurant [...]
You’ll have to forgive me as it’s possible that over the next 4 or so weeks, I’ll most likely start every post with, “When we were in Florida on vacation…” Just saying it now. When we were in Florida on vacation, we spent a handful of afternoons in the historic part of downtown St. Augustine, [...]
