Now here’s a good one! I remember having these at a friend’s house and was given the recipe quite some time ago. These recipes are ones written on scraps of paper in my recipe box. Some of them I used to remember. Some of them I was rather drunk and don’t remember, or, rather drunk [...]

I went to Whole Foods this afternoon to pick up a couple of things for dinner. I decided I would like some ice-cream sort of thing to go with a meringue cookie. (See this month’s newsletter from SusanMarque.com for the recipe.) At first I grabbed a bottle of amasake and thought I might [...]

The other day, Costco had a Seafood Roadshow showcasing different shellfish at special prices. One of the dishes I tasted was this flavored cooked tiger shrimp. It was delicious and I couldn’t wait to get home to experiment to see if I can duplicate the flavor. Here is the result:

Now my wanting to go vegetarian is always impeded by the lowly hamburger! I’m going to evaluate these and try to put them in my [...]
These look pretty darn good to me!
In honor of my girls, I’d like to share Squirrel’s favorite oyatsu with you. An “oyatsu” is what snacks or light meals are called in Japan. Squirrel’s favorite afternoon oyatsu to keep her fueled and on the move is an onigiri–an easy to make Japanese rice ball. – La [...]
I’ve added beef, tempeh, tofu and many other things to this for added ooomph. Stir-fry beef, tempeh or tofu with some sesame oil and lay on top after plating the noodle [...]
This is a huge hit and in lieu of tempeh we’ve had Aduki beans, grilled chicken breast, and even hamburger. Salsa is a good one to serve on the side for those who like to “kick it [...]

Rice over the years was always my favorite starch but making rice for me would either make a charred mass in the bottom of the pot or a soupy mess! I figured out this way of doing it which seems to come out perfectly every time.
1 cup Rice (Whatever type you prefer, I use Long [...]
