Thanksgiving Turkey Leftovers – Asian Style

Sunday, November 29th, 2009

“halp halp, I have 50 lbs of turkey leftovers from thanksgiving, what do I do with it so I’m not bored of eating turkey sandwiches for the next millennium?”  Well good thing you read my blag.
First I hope you saved your turkey bones and made a turkey stock. If you didn’t, tsk tsk. [...]

Food & Wine Mag and other $5 magazines

Sunday, November 29th, 2009

If you’re looking to subscribe to some food mags, amazon is offering a pretty damn good deal on Food & Wine, only $5 for the whole year.
I also grabbed House Beautiful for some decorating ideas, Real Simple because I flipped through it at Stacy’s and actually kind of liked it… after subscribing to something catered [...]

Wontons, an illustrated how-to

Friday, November 27th, 2009

mmm wontons – a staple in my household.  These are only in the medium hard category because I used pre-made wonton skins which you can get at any asian grocery store (even Target sells them now!).  It’s much more fun however to make your own wrappers, tastier too!   I usually make wontons in large batches [...]

BBQ Ribs – rub your meat

Friday, November 27th, 2009

A while back, I posted some pictures of tasty ribs and carrot cupcakes that Sean and Travis made.  Sean has written up the recipe for a coworker of mine, and my coworker got a kick out of it and said I should post it on my blog.  So here is the awesomely delicious, but not-so-precise [...]

Blag is renamed!

Wednesday, November 25th, 2009

I am tired of explaining to people what a blag is, plus this is way more catchy.  Evie Eats Everything.  It’s true.  I’ve never met something I didn’t want to eat.  You should go to the aquarium with me.  I just hope my RSS feeds doesn’t break again so my 2 followers would need to [...]

Happy Alton Brown Day!!

Wednesday, November 25th, 2009

They should just rename turkey day to Alton Brown day, I mean really, the man already won thanksgiving.  Just give him the title.  I’ve been pre-baking turkeys for thanksgiving for the past 3 years, mostly because I love turkey and I cannot wait to get one into the oven and then into my belleh.  From [...]

The French Laundry Cookbook, I haz it

Tuesday, November 24th, 2009

Yup, I purchased my first cookbook.  I’ve been wanting to study up on classic french cooking and techniques lately and it just happens that this book came up on an episode of top chef, and my favorite contestant Kevin described it as “life changing”.  I’m sold.
I skimmed through it and so far it’s super interesting, [...]

Carrot Cake, it’s super effective!

Sunday, November 22nd, 2009

super effective for eating that is.

I was very proud of myself for icing little carrots onto this cake.  It’s definitely not the best looking cake I’ve ever made, but boy is it ever delicious.  The recipe is from (surprise surprise) King Arthur!  The one tip I have is to for the love of god, use [...]

Simply White Bread

Saturday, November 21st, 2009

If you know me, you know that I hate crusty breads.  If we are served crusty breads at a restaurant, I will dig out the soft innards and put the crust on Sean’s plate.  When Stacy and Ronnie were off on their crusty sourdough kicks, I was like whatevs have fun chewing crust!  I went [...]

Microwaved Fish?

Friday, November 20th, 2009

I’m all for a quick dish on a weekday, you’re home from work, you’re tired, your coworker screwed up the code you were working on for 5 weeks, you’re grumpy and want food now now now.  When my mom told me she microwaved fish my eyes were like this O_o.  Yup I actually made one [...]
