This recipe reflects true Chinese home-style cooking.  When you ask for a recipe or about measurements from a Chinese cook, you invariably get a response something like, "Oh, Chinese people don't use recipes, just season it to your own tastes."  And so this recipe is just a guide to making a savory, spicy meat topping to spoon on top of a steaming bowl of freshly boiled noodles.  William came over and made this for us. 1-2 lb. ground pork (not too lean!) dark soy sauce light soy sauce oyster sauce cooking wine fresh garlic fresh ginger dried chilies numbing pepper large bunch of long beans, chopped fine ya cai (pickled vegetable from a packet) green onion wheat noodles Add 1 T. each of dark soy sauce and cooking wine to the ground pork, stir and let marinate while you prepare the other ingredients.  Finely chop desired amounts of garlic and ginger.  (Maybe 2-3 cloves garlic and the equivalent amount of ginger.) Snip dried chilies into sections and discard the se...

Smores is  something I always read about in kids stories , it was until my little guy had this science project in grade 2,( I think it was in 2013) ,where he had to make something that was about alternate energy that I actually got to taste  a S'more. I know what you are thinking whats a smore got to do with a science project? You see he made a  pizza box solar oven, he was teamed up with a cousin of ours. For the  we used cream crackers instead of graham crackers , topped with chocolate and marshmallow, put it in the sun and within 10 minutes , chocolate and marshmallow had melted. The boys enjoyed the Smores and went on to win  at the science fair held that year along with another bunch of 2nd graders at the Interschool Science Fair. Anyway, the taste of the S'more had me wondering if there was any way I could do it in a more pie or tart like way , after much searching, yup you guessed it, via pinterest,  I found a lot of recipes for S'mores tarts and pie...

The lemons are finally ripening, and I am having a blast with all the possibilities! Find the giveaway story in the link above. Beautiful Meyer Lemons, and they taste delicious! I decided to start with what I had on hand. I love roasting and caramelizing vegetables in the oven, especially root vegetables! I had carrots, potatoes and onions on hand so I threw in some lemon juice and lemon slices. OMGoodness!!! We already ate one lemon by itself, but roasting the slices and eating them rind, pith and all was more than delicious! My mouth is watering as I think about it!

I say almost vegetarian as I added just  a little bit of dried tuna because it goes very nicely with this meaty flavoured brown lentils.   I found this recipe in and old Margret Fultan' s book of Vegetarian Cooking .

I  saw these tuna balls  recipe in bbcgoodfood.com, where  pasta was served with these tuna balls made with canned tuna. Of course as you know canned tuna is a pantry staple in my home so I just had to give it try. The boys and hubby loved it, I tried a couple of sauces along with it, but this one , made using fresh cherry tomatoes came out the winner and didn't mask the delicate tuna balls taste. I was planning to use regular tomatoes but on my regular visit to my usual grocery shop, Seagull store I saw these gorgeous cherry tomatoes grown locally in the island of Maafahi. You can use regular tomatoes, chopped  roughly and substitute fresh basil in place of the curry leaves for a different taste. Recipe : Spagetti with Tuna Balls and Fresh Cherry Tomato sauce. For the Tuna Balls 1 can tuna, drained 2 slices sandwich bread( or 50g fresh breadcrumbs) juice and zest of 1/2 lime 1/2 small onion, finely chopped 1 egg yolk 1/2 tsp ground black pepper 1 finely chopped ch...

I was looking for some easy recipes for baked goods. I've always said that I'm not a baker. I do bake, but it's not my specialty. I ran across a recipe for pretzel bites from King Arthur Flour. The instructions seemed a little daunting, but they are really easy when you understand the steps. I wasn't aware that boiling the dough for about 30 seconds was the way they achieve their golden brown color. I really had fun with this recipe. It's easy and really a quick recipe!  Pretty good for my first time, I think. I love pretzels!  The dough came together quickly and needed no adjustments. I let the dough rest for 30 minutes, while I prepared the water bath.  I had to work quick with the boiling water process, so I didn't get a picture. Sprinkled with Kosher Salt and then baked at 400 degrees for 18 minutes.  They are crunchy on the outside, and soft on the inside. Delicious! Pretzel Bites Dough: 3 cups All-Purpose Flour 1 tablespoon sugar 1 tablespoon soft unsalted...

Yes I know , the photo doesn't really look very good, mainly because it was made for dinner and it was getting dark, so light wasn't so  good. One of those rushed days , where you want to just finish up and sit down for dinner. This is one of those recipes where that left over roast chicken gets ended up.   I wasn't sure about the apple but I had this green apple half one day ( my little fussy one always eats one half ),  so I just threw it into the mixture. You know what! it was  delicious!  I think the combination of chicken and the crunchy celery and green apple gave a nice  combo.  Its okay if you dont have celery , and replace dijon mustard with the one you use for hot dogs, although that mustard has a more sharper taste and is more yellow. I pilled the mixture into hot dog buns but you can use regular sandwich bread, croissants, submarine buns etc. Recipe : Chicken Sandwich Makes 4 hot dog bun sarnies 1 cup cooked shredded chicken ( to shred , cu...
