A Confession…

Tuesday, October 27th, 2009

Instead of cooking or baking or even cleaning my dirty ass house, I’ve been reading Robert Jordan’s Wheel of Time series and eating summer sausage and drinking fanta.

Heidi's Restaurant Minneapolis

Sunday, October 25th, 2009

I found this little restaurant at chowhound, and from the reviews it sounded pretty delicious so we thought we’d give it a try.  Other than the very odd and yet comical wait to get seated, it was a great experience.
About 15 minutes after they opened (we were hungry for an early dinner) we walked in, [...]

Bacon Cupcakes showdown

Friday, October 23rd, 2009

Bacon is delicious, and cupcakes are delicious, so it’s only natural that they come together.  (Do not try substituting bacon for sushi as my coworker suggested, this delicious formula does not always work.)  If you are daring greedy like me and make both kinds at the same time, I would suggest cooking all your bacon [...]

Cupcakes, with bacon?

Saturday, October 17th, 2009

Have you ever wondered which is better, a maple brown sugar bacon cupcake, or a dark chocolate bacon cupcake?  Oh you have?!  ME TOO!  I’m off to the grocery store to buy ingredients for both, and soon we will have a bacon-cupcake-off.

Monday, October 12th, 2009

This is probably one of the easiest pork dishes I’ve ever stumble upon, and probably one of the best tasting too.  The glaze is very flavorful and if you like sweet and spicy, this is a must try.  I will definitely be making this more often.  The recipe is from epicurious but with some alterations. [...]

20 lbs of Tomatoes = Many dishes with tomatoes

Friday, October 9th, 2009

Ingredients:

1 1/2 pounds tomatoes
3 cups chicken stock
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 cups finely chopped onion
1 cup Arborio or [...]

Congee, part deux

Sunday, October 4th, 2009

I love congee. This is a pork congee because I bought a bunch of pork briskets from Costco. The recipe is pretty much exactly like how I made the chicken congee but with sliced pork, with the addition of some little pork meatballs. I ground up the brisket meat in a food processor, [...]
