I’ve been way into soup lately, especially with noodles. (By the way, I think you should enter that as a sexy response on your next singles’ website chat: “So, like, what are you into?” “Soup.”) And I happened to read somewhere that you can use a couple of tablespoons of peanut butter in place of [...]

Salad Week: Asian Salad
July 30th, 2008 · No Comments · Thai, asian, cheese, chicken, food, nuts, quick, salads, sauces, vegetables, walnuts
Here’s another simple tossed salad, with some Asian-inspired flavors.
I marinated chicken breasts (pounded flat or purchased thin) in peanut oil and teriyaki sauce for about an hour. I grilled that, sliced it, and topped some mixed greens with it. I also added feta cheese, scallions, walnuts, and green apple chunks. For the dressing, I mixed [...]

Salad Dressing for Dinner

Why is blogging so difficult? Seriously, I’m going to try not to bore you with the details, but I am slowly trying to get one chunk done at a time on my current project: making it so I can easily blog from UPSTAIRS on the laptop. See, the big ol’ computer is downstairs in Chris’ [...]

I found this article from the Wall Street Journal to be intensely illuminating, and I just had to share it. (Please do not get the impression that I am a regular WSJ reader; I am nowhere near that deep.) At first I clicked on the title and read it just out of curiosity: a new [...]

Yuki's Sushi, and the Bachelor Fare Back Home

Katie, Kaci, Jen and I had an evening in Portland that I haven’t documented, at a restaurant called Ten01 downtown… But unfortunately, none of my pictures turned out (left the good camera at home, again.) Still, not much of a loss there… I didn’t think the food was that noteworthy. My foie gras and my [...]

Coconut Chili and Bean Medley

Here’s something I experimented with the other night that came out quite good. It has a sweet and spicy, vaguely eastern flavor due to the light coconut milk and seasonings. I’ve been playing with coconut milk a lot since tasting Thai curry a few years ago, and this is another of my variations.
Sauté half of [...]

Bacon Fried Rice
June 14th, 2007 · No Comments · asian, bacon, leftovers, nuts, quick, rice, turkey
I know, I know, it sounds sinful… But it wasn’t, really. I had some of that wonderful turkey bacon from Trader Joe’s, some leftover brown rice and some veggies (like shredded carrots), so I diced the bacon, diced garlic, and some red onions in just a little olive oil, and tossed in the rice and [...]

I’m baaaack! Sorry I’ve been away so long… The good news is, it seems like more people than ever are reading the blog, and having nice things to say about it. The bad news is, I’ve taken this particular opportunity to post not so often. Nice, right? Well, I graduate in two months, and I [...]

Matcha Latte
February 18th, 2007 · No Comments · Los Angeles, asian, desserts, drinks, food, quick, restaurants
Remember when I posted mournfully about the Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf frozen matcha drink that I can’t get here in the midwest? Well I figured out a first-rate substitution! And I couldn’t be happier if I had flipping yellow butterflies floating out of my ears. To the tune of “Grazin’ in the Grass.” On [...]

Sushi is Better Fried

Two more posts about Cali… Whoops, three. And then it’s back to my own cooking! I’m having problems with the internet connection, but Lord willing and the waters don’t rise, I’ll post them all today.
We went out for sushi at a place near Dave called Miyako (you can even view the whole menu online at [...]
