I was watching the american version of Being Human on Hulu and I was really shocked when I saw that one of the characters was supposed to have been born the same year that I was.

For my birthday, we made croissants

Other than that, haven't been cooking much, but today we made fish soup using this recipe and some frozen fish we'd picked up at trader joe's. It was really good, and really easy. I would definitely recommend it. The parsley is important, the type of fish is not.

in california we made many things.

shrimp with spicy mango sauce
poached pears with spiced whipped cream
asparagus pizzas
apple and bacon salad
pesto
grilled beef tenderloin stuffed with herbs

we got back and made paella.

but tonight is korean friday!

there has been very little cooking going on the last few weeks. now i'm back on track.

yesterday: szcheuan green beans and pork with rice.
today: roasted chicken legs with lemon and thyme . This was really fast and good, and then we dipped our toast in the juices and it was excellent ( Read more... )

baked a lot!

guinness-gingerbread cupcakes with lime frosting and candied lime peel
banana bread
no-knead bread.

now my stomach hurts. too many cupcakes.

yesterday: plantains
today: cauliflower

yesterday we ate pollo al mattone, which is chicken under a brick. we marinated it overnight, which is better than the 20 minutes I usually do ( Read more... )

i had some leftover marinade from the thai chicken we did a while back, so i marinated some chicken thighs overnight and cooked them for dinner tonight. we ate them with some steamed buns we made even longer ago that i'd put in the freezer.

sort of like this but with thai-style chicken instead of pork belly ( Read more... )

yesterday, we made enchiladas roughly based off of this recipe but with some modifications ( Read more... )
