Cold Weather = Order Groceries Online

Thursday, December 31st, 2009

Helllllo I am back from the crazy Christmas escapades.  It’s 11 degrees outside, and tomorrow’s low is -10, I’m not even going outside if Saks is giving stuff away… ok no I would.  This calls for grocery shopping online in my jammies.  And…. I ordered 6 bottles of wine.  Because they are groceries too.  *shifty [...]

Soba Noodles with Leftover Braised Pork Belly

Tuesday, December 15th, 2009

One of my favorite leftover ideas is to use noodles and make it into a ramen, I’m a big fan of using leftovers to create a brand new dish. Eating the same thing for more than 2 days straight is just boring, you need to spice it up!  This uses the braised pork belly I [...]

Gingerbread macarons with vanilla buttercream

Friday, December 11th, 2009

Ok, macarons are serious business.  They are not easy to bake.  I’ve never really failed at anything baking wise (with the exception of being a total retard and forgetting an entire ingredient… or two…) and my first attempt at macarons was an utter disaster and cannot be posted due to extreme embarrassment.  This is my second [...]

Honestly, I’m not trying to gross you out

Thursday, December 10th, 2009

It’s suppose to be for breakfast traditionally, but this is what I had for lunch.  It’s a hard boiled salted duck egg and fermented tofu over rice porridge.
Salted duck eggs when hard boiled, the egg yolk has a very grainy/sandy texture, it’s almost like a roe.  The yolk of a really good duck egg is [...]

I’m hard to shop for? What?

Wednesday, December 9th, 2009

So apparently I’ve been informed that I’m hard to shop for because I just buy what I want, I was like “no wai” but I’ve been trying to compile a list and it seems way too small.  Please don’t look at my pile of 10 boxes in my living room.    I mean I’ve only ordered [...]

peanut butter cookies that are similar to crack cocaine

Wednesday, December 9th, 2009

ok to be fair, I’ve never tried crack cocaine, but I imagine it would be similar to these cookies. Stacy made them first and demanded that I make them, so I did.  I even made a double batch the day before thanksgiving, put all the cookies into 3 bags, and they were gone by [...]

Braised Pork Belly

Monday, December 7th, 2009

Do not read this if you hate deliciousness.
 
Do you like bacon?  Do you like it a little on the softer side?  If so, this is for you.  This was always a comfort food while I was growing up, and it’s meant to be eaten in moderation.  2 or 3 pieces with a bowl of rice [...]

7 egg yolk fresh pasta, the French Laundry way

Saturday, December 5th, 2009

 
I’ve always tried to make my own pasta when I have time, so naturally I’ve gone through many pasta dough recipes.  Most read the same, flour, eggs, sometimes olive oil.  I didn’t know anything better existed, until now.  The consistency of this dough beats the others out of the water, it’s so easy to work [...]
