  1. didn't make them yet, and the flavor has switched to strawberry lemonade as i'm dying for summer and lemons were abundant at the farmers market. they're getting made tonight or tomorrow night, so i'll make sure to bring some over.

    yum some of my favorite flavor combos...i also love making rasperry cupcakes with a lime frosting...we were so overloaded with meyer lemons the last month. so fun to cook with!

    ps. arugala pesto is sooo good. so peppery.

  2. Today was an all day cooking day.

    Course 1 - Split Pea soup with bacon and broth made from leftover smoked pork shoulder scraps

    Course 2 - Arugula, basil, tomato, mozzarella, and EVOO/banyuls dressing

    Course 3 - Rack of pork with roasted garlic rosemary potatoes

    Course 4 - Peach cobbler

    mmmmmm

    yummy...i love split pea soup and it sounds like yours will have an extra smokey flavor. if you guys eat alot of arugala you should grow it. literally grows like a weed. i don't even need to replant it every year...just replants itself. i have abunch of seeds.

  3. Does anyone know any dishes that can be made from a stove top and rice cooker and microwave... Space is very limited here in Japan and I do miss some good old American eats that don't take a oven to finish baking in.

    what type of food do you like? chicken piccata is easy and doesn't need to be finished in the oven,

    chicken fried steak

    macaroni and cheese

    chicken tikka masala

    chili

    steak dishes

    lemon sole

    blackened salmon

    tell me what you like and it might jog my memory more

  4. yesterday my roommate made tamales with potatoes and spiced tsp, along with homemade refried beans and mole sauce. then we attempted to make a quick version of avocado ice cream with sweet hot sauce, but it definitely needs more tweaking before it can be called perfect.

    tomorrow, i think i'm going to make caramel cupcakes with mocha frosting.

    in vietnam they actually make an avocado smoothie that is really yummy...but made with sweetened condensed milk so wouldn't work for you...love mole!
  5. I'll have to link your food blog from mine!

    I accidentally made ricotta a few weeks ago while making mozzarella.

    I use citric acid powder instead of lemon though- do you feel that the lemon juice flavors it at all?

    And I should totally take this conversation to food & drink and not restaurants.

    we should totally start a post your blog section...we are in the middle of combining 3 of our blogs so i will post soon...

    i am not sure if there is a huge taste difference. to me fresh lemon juice always seems to freshen flavors...just like a little bit of salt brings out difference flavors. we have a lemon tree that is loaded so we tend to use lemons alot in our cooking...

    going to roast some artichoke hearts that i got from farmers market in some lemon juice, garlic, chili flakes, thyme right now.

  6. Tonight I'm going to be cooking a silkie chicken.

    I expect good things.

    I also made some epically pungent pickled eggs tonight. Each jar topped with a hard boiled quail's egg.

    My kitchen is very confusing tonight.

    these are the chickens we are going to raise...they are super cute but in asia called "black chicken" and a delicacy. if i get any roosters i'll send them your way so you can eat them ;)

    i am picking up about 6 silkies hoping that 2-3 are hens...
