A Cooking Marathon

Char Sui — courtesy of Recipezaar.com

I thought I’d make a pan of char sui tonight. I had a package of pork belly defrosting in the fridge overnight and whipped up a batch of marinade before going to bed. I threw the defrosted pork into the marinade and back in the fridge for the [...]

A Little Fun in the Kitchen Tonight

When Fire is Good
I felt like having fire roasted peppers in my salad tonight. I was hoping to hear from iTed today while I was out and about, but the phone never rang so I planned dinner for myself and it was great.

I defrosted a package of boneless chicken thighs and decided I felt [...]

iTed Anticipation and Chocolaty Goodness

Another Visitor to Justopia

Well, it’s finally happened. iTed, one of the early JTV broadcasters is headed to DC tomorrow! He was planning to come here many months ago, but plans were changed and he didn’t make it. But now he’s on his way. I’m just waiting for mail with his itinerary [...]

A Real Treasure

Chawwwcolate

I’m lucky. Well, in terms of food and kitchen supply needs that is. See, I knew there were a few 10 lb. Guittard chocolate bars at the store (Williams-Sonoma) that were about to expire and that spells good news. As things expire, we discount them. Most things that go out of [...]

So, Mares Eat Oats?

Packing a Lunch and Tony Bourdain Surprises Me!

Polka Dot Bagging It

I came home from dinner and the movies tonight and when I turned on the TV House Hunters International was on HGTV. I love watching that show. Seeing people trying to find a place to live outside of the US really interests me.

Ode to My Sweetie

Treats

Yes, it’s Valentine’s Day. Ad no, I haven’t magically found a Valentine, but that didn’t stop me from another year of Valentine’s Day treats which means bowing to my sweetie — Chocolate. Yes, chocolate.

Smooth Away

Trying it Out
