Asian Market Visit
Posted by: tpsky on: May 24, 2010
This past weekend we decided to go back to visit the Asian market we haven’t visited a while. The reason for the lapse was because we noticed an ever more sparsely stocked shelves. We didn’t find any other good Asian markets in the vicinity and stopped Asian market shopping all together for a while. Some [...]

I finally settled on sweet potatoes. I thought I’d do sweet potato balls rolled in crushed/grounded unsalted peanuts. After searching around on the internet though, I decided to modify this recipe on Rasa Malaysia. I didn’t like the fact the original version was deep-fried, so I made mine baked. I also didn’t use as much [...]

Okay, sorry if the title is a little misleading. I thought the colors in this dish make this name appropriate. Not a complicated dish to make after a long day at work, and the aroma in the kitchen is mouth-watering while the shrimps are being cooked. A tip to stir-frying shrimps is to brine them [...]

Navigating the social world with a different idea in food, while not having tons of time to cook and prepare the healthy alternative is definitely challenging. Going to a Game Night on Friday, and the organizer proposed that we should be there by 6:30 because we’ll have “snacks” and therefore didn’t need to eat dinner [...]

I made my “Nail Soup” today. Without the nail of course. It’s from the Nail Soup story, a variant of the Stone Soup tale. There is no technique to it, just chopped-up Napa Cabbage, fingerling potatoes, if-we-don’t-cook-these-they’ll-go-bad mushrooms, and a chicken breast. Oh, I forgot the corns. Oh well, add it next time. Maybe I’ll [...]
Making Bread

I’ve been making bread with the breadmaker my mother sent me. Parents…they work through you like a spoonful of yeast… Until you’re shaped as the pan they put you in.

This was the kind of weekend when we went from one place to another, or one thing to another. It was MM’s friend Maggie’s birthday party on Friday after the preschool. And all three of us went. It’s become given in our family that we’d go to places together and do things together. And so [...]
