This is a dish that I love, love, love. It's very traditional Filipino food and since it is, it's one of those dishes that has a lot of variation. It's basically a dish that has an equal amount of meat and vegetables in a "bath" of sour broth. Lots and lots of sour broth. That's the best part! I was...
It's asparagus season. I know it must be because you couldn't move for special asparagus menus in restaurants in Berlin last week. I like asparagus a lot and try to make good use of it in season. I used to buy a lot of 'baby' asparagus spears and nibble on them raw as a snack while watching TV,...

This past weekend we celebrated my friend's birthday in back yard barbecue style. I had dibs on supplying desserts for all of the party goers and my devilish plan was to make individual cheesecake cupcakes, the very same heavenly dessert my mother would make for all of her get togethers. I started...

The Chinese sure seem to know how to make dozens of starch variations using rice. Aside from white rice, there are rice noodles, rice noodle sheets, edible rice paper, rice milk, rice flour, glutinous rice and its various incarnations. One particular product, made from glutinous rice flour, you may ...

I take the younger two kids to pre-school library storytime on Mondays, and this last time they had a really neat project that can be done by the younger crowd. You need: a sugar cookie on a stick (stick not necessary, but it is cute), a tablespoon of white frosting, a yellow or orange M&M and a...
I made this particular dish the other day and it was absolutely wonderful. My wife, who normally does not eat big portions, cleaned off her plate and wanted more, so that is a very good sign. The thickness of the tuna steak you use really depends on how rare you like your tuna. Because you are only...
I told you that my favorite sugar cookie recipe of all time was coming up, and now I'm finally delivering. This chewy sugar cookie recipe is one that I hold absolutely dear to my heart. It was one of the first cookies that I made successfully when I was in middle/high school, and everyone that tried...

We've had an exceptionally busy week, but I did manage to post another recipe over at the Ward Street Bistro: Grilled Mustard-Rosemary Chicken. ------------------------- I've got a big backlog of things I want to post about, including an incredible marionette (yes, as in puppets) version of Don...

All elements are subject to environmental damages outside of their control. But there are some things that we can control that will leave us glowing, looking healthier, having more energy and living longer. To many people, quality of life is equally as important as life span. It is a good thing,...
We've had a few warm days here in Seattle, inevitably followed it seems by unseasonably cold weather (it was in the 30's this morning when I got up.) But, things are "warming up" over at the Ward Street Bistro. This week's post is Lemon-Pepper Potato Salad, a favorite of ours with grilled meat or...

I love baking. And I love Arashi. If you wonder if the two can somehow form a collaboration, the answer is yes. Do you remember a Shukudai episode in which the homework from the guest (her name escapes me, but I remember she works with Ogura-san in his morning show) was to submit different ways of...
