So both of tonight's meal items would have been better with the addition or subtraction of an ingredient. The chicken was fine, but very bland to me. I liked the lemon, but I wish I had added something with a complimentary flavor like curry or cumin to give it a bit of a taste. The lemon alone just wasn't enough and the garlic and herbs didn't even ( Read more... )

Gotta catch up a bit. No pictures of 3 because the stir fry wasn't very photogenic and 4 because the sandwich was, well, a sandwich ( Read more... )

Last night was my first night of The Fresh 20 menu. The meal was spiced pork and shaved radish salad. Spicy pork was too spicy for me, but Jason liked it. He said he couldn't taste the honey at all, and neither could I because my mouth was on fire. I'm not sure if that's because our paprika is "Hungarian Hot Paprika" or if it was supposed to be ( Read more... )

So I'm watching BBQ Pitmasters. I'm actually not entirely sure why. I mean, we watched it last season and I remember it being much more entertaining.

He's been good about staying away from it, but the super shinies might be too much. More on flickr.

They make these things at the Indian buffet restaurant we used to always go to and I really want some. I can't go to the restaurant because it's an hour away and the only time they have the buffet is on Sunday nights and it's already too late. I was thinking I'd make some, but I have no idea what it's called and oddly enough searching for "crunchy ( Read more... )

I've had it twice now. I didn't use cocoa powder either time, since I wanted a vanilla cake not a chocolate one. I did add white chocolate chips to the first one, but didn't like how it turned out at all. The chips sank to the bottom and got gooey ( Read more... )
