Time really flies. It's the middle of July now. I haven't been blogging much lately. I have a very good excuse this time. I was transitioning to Ubuntu Hardy (a very popular Linux distro) in the past two weeks. I was really busy configuring my system, getting our wireless network to work, and...
The title says it all... I know I said it many times before, but this time it's not a choice any more. I've indulged myself enough and it's time to have some real discipline. Summer is here, for God's sake! This is a very easy stirfry dish. Fresh garlic and fresh amaranth stirfried in canola oil....
This is the best bread I've made out of my bread machine. I must confess that I haven't used it that much. It's still a new bread machine. But this 50% whole wheat bread is so doughy and fluffy that we can hardly believe the result. So here's the bread machine recipe. 2/3 cup unsweetened soy milk 2...
Oh, where did I go? I don't know how I just don't seem to have enough time to blog more often nowadays. I gotta quit the fast lane, as soon as possible, for my sanity. The good news is that we will have our long vacation very soon, in August. I didn't cook much, but I did conjure up a new vegetable...
Yay! I finally got the time and courage to make the "official" ratatouille (recipe by Thomas Keller) in the movie Ratatouille. Boy, it was worth hours of roasting vegetables in heat. It was the most tasty ratatouille I've had so far! And it looked so darn pretty! This is the vegan version of Ann...
I don't really have time to write a post now but I do have some food porn to share. So let's get down to business immediately. The first thing is Jamie Oliver's Asparagus, Mint and Lemon Risotto with Fresh Fava Beans. I found the recipe in Lisa's Vegetarian Kitchen. I replaced dry white wine with...
I tried out a very simple yet ultra-yummy recipe of Nava Atlas - Stewed Tofu with Corn and Tomatoes. I've always enjoyed Nava's recipes because they are simple, straightforward and often involve a balanced and tasty combination of commonly-used ingredients. No fancy schmancy, and no fuss....
In a desperate search for a green-heavy meal option, I dug out a really valuable recipe - Spring Green Quinoa - by Susan Voisin of Fatfree Vegan Kitchen that I had saved recently. I was so glad that I could kill two birds with one stone this time: a) I bought some fresh edamame, lots of asparagus...
Pickled Eggs German Style! recipe + pictures + eating instructions: Boil the eggs. 10-12 min depending on the size. (You want them throughly hard boiled.) The ingredients (for 10 eggs): - 100g rock salt - thyme sprigs (at least one for every glass) - laurel leaves - 2 onions or 4 shallots...
While I like Meggle's garlic / herb butter it's still a long way from tasting homemade. There's nothing better than fresh, homemade herb butter. Okay, here's the thing: translating a recipe into English or rather finding the English names for herbs and spices is pretty difficult (at least for me)...
I have no idea whether this is authentic or not. This tomato aioli is what you get when you peel four good-sized roma tomatoes, cut them in half, put them in a small casserole dish, cover them in a couple of tablespoons of olive oil, and then roast at 250 degrees for FOUR HOURS. I'm not sure if this...
When I first saw this wonderful dish on Elly's blog, I knew that I had to give it a go, very soon. Roasted zucchini and tomatoes, creamy jasmine rice, and au gratin, what more can a man ask for? Nothing more! Oh, maybe a slice of blueberry cheesecake afterwards, but let's not get into that now. My...
Purplesque has already made the mini crustless tofu quiches. I bookmarked the recipe by Susan Voisin of Fatfree Vegan Kitchen more than half a year ago but, things happen, and blah blah blah. But Purplesque's photo put me over the top. And I actually had all the ingredients at hand, including time...
I went to Purplesque's blog and got myself all hungry looking at her food porn. And it almost seems like I was often waiting for her food photos to be uploaded so that I could make another banner and make myself even more hungry staring at the banner. I took a photo of the tree right outside our...
This is the first time that I have attempted to make savory pancakes. My husband said that it was about time (about a year after I began making my own vegan pancakes). We were both very pleased with the first batch of savory pancakes. I still find it hard to believe that I never wanted to make...
I don't know why I didn't think of trying to make English muffins at home before. I've seen different recipes around and every time I see one, I have the urge to make some. Yet, it only happened yesterday. I was thrilled. The homemade English muffins are way better than those commercial ones. I was...
the food porn has moved over here: http://saltyspicysour.wordpress.com/2008/05/26/firing-up-the-grill/ http://saltyspicysour.wordpress.com/2008/05/24/a-light-snack/ http://saltyspicysour.wordpress.com/2008/05/22/spicy-breakfast/ http://saltyspicysour.wordpress.com/2008/05/19/sapporo-ramen/...
The weather has been continuously capricious. Jumping from a long and bitter winter to a all-too-short spring, it suddenly feels like summer. I'm afraid that I'm still constantly shocked by the obvious effects of global warming. In this overly warm weather, all I want to eat is some fruit. I've...
I'm glad that I finally have something half decent to post here. The tasty and nutritious Dolmades (Meditarranean rice casserole) by Ricki of Diet, Dessert and Dogs really made my day. It's a very easy dish to put together within 25 minutes. I didn't bake the casserole since everything was already...
Chocolates from Compartes Chocolatier... almost too cute to eat - almost! Compliments of Susan for B's birthday, but it would just be wrong not to help taste test, right? :) I was especially taken by the skull and cross bones one.
