We eat curry fairly frequently here, chez Real Food Made Easy — for a couple of reasons. It tastes pretty good, and we like pretty much all versions of it. I love meatballs. Meaty goodness, in a bite-sized package — all the fun of meatloaf without the commitment! One of the things I like about them is the fact that you can combine them with all kinds of flavours — any way you want. That way you can eat them in all kinds of forms — [...] So back on June 10, Michael Ruhlman (author most recently of the excellent book Ratios!), threw a challenge out to all those on the interweb, to make their own BLT from scratch. He had just finished making homemade pancetta, and showed that it was actually not as difficult as we all might have thought, and the [...] Its been pretty hot here the last week or so, so there hasn’t been a lot of baking, BUT there has been a lot of grilling action on the new BBQ, and quick dinners from the stash of food in the freezer. One of the standard things I usually have are frozen raw shrimp. Sometimes [...] Sometimes when life gets hectic, you need to be able to throw something together quickly for a speedy, satisfying dinner. One of my favourite things to have on hand is the 1 lb. containers of pasteurized crab meat available at Costco. It’s relatively inexpensive, especially compared to the stuff you get from the seafood display [...] Marion and her sister over at “She said, she said“ have been writing about nostalgic/comfort food such as tuna casserole and meat loaf. Well, that got me to hankering after meatloaf, so, what’s a gal to do but whip up a little “pain de viande” (everything sounds tres chic in French, doesn’t it?). I leapt [...] Me: I’m making dinner. Will you eat spinach if I put it in the main dish? Him: NO! I hate spinach! Me: Are you sure? Its fresh from the garden — just picked, and it’ll be cooked (he cant eat uncooked veg) Him: Doesn’t matter! Spinach is disguisting! …15 minutes elapse… Him: (pointing to the main dish) What’s that? Me: Spinach. Him: [...] So not having dinner planned the other night, I ran across a whole chicken marked way down in price at the supermarket. I decided there and then that I would make a roast chicken for dinner. The usual problem with roast chicken? — you want to eat before 9:00 at night, but you want your [...] So after looking at the photo-diet project on Flickr, my curiousity was piqued. I’m not so interested in weighing and specifically portioning out everything I eat, but was interested to actually “see” everything I was eating. Anyhow, here’s three days worth.
Interesting? or silly? here’s a video of Kimi looking like I’m crazy [...] So for dinner tonight I figured I had better use up the celeriac that had been sitting aging in the fridge. Celeriac’s flavour, while distinct, is mild, so I wanted some mild flavours to balance, but not overpower. I had lots of onions, so thought i would try caramelizing the onions, and add some potatoes [...]  |
