1. The lazy, five-minute-but-still-decently-tasty, way 2. The no-shortcut, local, organic, <insert buzz word here>, tastier way 9 times out of 10, I’m in the second camp. Today, though, I’m opting for the shortcut because I found a premade soup that I actually find edible. I’m a big fan of Trader Joe’s, especially for people that want something [...] Knock knock. Are you still there? Just checking. It’s been a while, a long while, since I’ve actually posted anything. But, lo-and-behold, I am still alive and kicking, er, eating. I just started a new project in LA, not too far from my alma mater. The downtown hotel I am now staying at is less [...] Blame it on the Type A personality in me. You’d think I’d actually enjoy a couple of days of “working from home” and not doing anything. Instead, I’m anxious to get on a project and really prove myself and learn lots of new things. I spent the latter portion of last week [...] I’d wish I had several more Alinea posts, though perhaps you patient readers are tired of them, only because it would mean that I could relive the meal a little longer.

No, I want the mango parfait, wait, [...] Sadly, my Year of the Pig/Boar has come to an end…however, Happy Lunar New Year! And what perfect timing. I have a mildly Chinese recipe to post, and what better time to post than Chinese New Year. Three days before the Superbowl party and I am frantically trying to cook everything in my fridge [...] While the rest of the sports fans world celebrates/tries to forget the upset on Sunday, I still have two sinks full of dishes (down from about five) remaining at home…perhaps a sign of a successful party? The second annual Super Sunday was a tremendous success. We had about 45 people pass through during [...] Tatsoi, also known as spinach mustard, spoon cabbage or Chinese flat cabbage, has dark green, oval leaves, with a lighter-tinged stem. It looks a bit similiar to baby Bok Choy (no surprise, it’s also in the same family as bok choy, mizuna, and rapini), but it looks much more full and lush. It’s [...] |
