fresh cream
 

The first time I went to the States was in May 2003 and had already been living in South Korea for over 3 years. I had a huge arse sandwich on super yummy bread (bread in Korea is not yummy and difficult to find good bread - my father had a bread delivery contract while I was growing up, so I've eaten a lot of bread in my life!). And then, and theeeeen, I had a piece of chocolate cake. It had fresh. real. cream. I cried.

This is probably a bad idea, to come in here when I'm already hungry and too sore (read:lazy) to waddle into the kitchen for food.

I would so make homemade soup if I had the freezer room for the containers.

I am prepping some veggies for a pot of soup tomorrow. Thinking lots of veggies and maybe some beans, or lentils. May cut up some chicken breast and toss that in as well. With a nice sourdough or crusty bread to sop up the juice. Yummy!

I cooked a northern Italian dish called Rice and Savoy Cabbage for my practical exam in my International Cuisine class. It was delicious, and with a few adaptations, is reasonably inexpensive to make. I substitute long grain white rice for the short grained rice and green cabbage for the Savoy cabbage, as these are much less expensive where I live. The most expensive parts of the dish are the butter, stock, and cheese that are needed.

I'm not to good at making omelette-- but I do enjoy making fritattas-- open faced omelette. These all sound good.

I am marinating some chicken filet(s) is balsamic, fresh rosemary, garlic, s/p -- to grill for salads and wraps. Other than that--

Pizza lately has been sounding good-- fresh dough, fresh pesto, olives, fresh mozz, roasted peppers, artichoke hearts -- mmm.

What is everyone's favourite toppings on a pizza?

well, it's almost 6am Thursday, but for dinner last night we had a Cantonese variation of a Teo Chew dish - fish head soup. It has evaporated milk in it as well as ginger, slices of tomatoes, etc.

Here's a link to the different types of Chinese noodles and a brief description of the dish: http://www.kualalumpur-localguide.co...e-noodles.html (look for fish head noodle).

Apparently this is a Malaysian dish. There are quite a few Malaysian Chinese dishes. The owner of the restaurant was complaining that mainland Chinese food, except for Szechuan, is quite plain.

I'm marinating some chicken breast in a garlic/lime juice/ginger/olive oil/and a splash of orange juice with some cumin and crushed red pepper flakes to grill before we get rain, for salads or tacos. Also making a pot of vegetable soup with onion, cabbage, carrots, stewed tomatoes, cauliflower, zucchini, fresh parsley, and dill, some frozen green beans and some salt and pepper. Simmered low for a few hours.
