Added water to make the stock.

Blai made a paella for lunch today!

- ground poultry hamburger with garlic chives and lotus root served with grated daikon radish

- sweetened red kidney beans

- snap pea and tomato salad

- napa cabbage miso soup

Trying out a few new foods - enoki mushrooms are a first.

Bought a device which is meant to mash potato but we used it for steamed brocolli and cauliflower with good results. Slowly realising fillet steak is a favourite. Bacon wrapped around the enoki was interesting, quite chewy.

Chunky Chili Eggplant Dip with very good bread

This was supposed to be a Red Velvet Cupcake, but the food coloring wasn't strong enough so it ended up more like a Brown Velvet Cupcake. But it was still astoundingly delicious -- quite possibly the best cupcake I've ever made, vegan or not. Though the frosting looks a little grainy here, it's actually really creamy and yummy (I probably needed to warm it up a bit more).

Ready for the oven

It's very colorful but the rice was a bit soggy - Australian rice cookers dont seem to like me. My rice-cooking has never failed me but now...haiyo! Sad lar....

(I need a hug)

I made a sauce with onions, garlic, green peppers, baby portabella mushrooms, button mushrooms, and artichoke hearts. The sauce came out great!

Just as good as the ones at Magnolia River Bar & Grill

because they are the same Savannah Classics recipe.

Tonkatsu with homemade tonkatsu sauce and tomato salad on the side!

not exactly my favorite but mommy's soup still beats restaurant's selections any day.

卵だけで作ったカルボナーラ、これも美味しいけど私は生クリーム入りの方が好きかな・・

Peaches! They’re not just for breakfast or dessert. They’re delicious grilled with a good pork chop. Fancy Lady peaches from @peaches.la_ , corn and cherry tomatoes from @underwoodfamilyfarms , little gem lettuce from @roots_organic_farm

We've eaten here many a time, was going to do so but

found that it's closed, what a loss. They had the best

home cooked country type meals.

Yum.

Yummy soft, buttery and milky cookie rounds that filled with a delicious fruity with milky chocolate chips and the kind that crumbled in the mouth ~ the flavours improved as they aged! Love these with each bite!

I did some cooking over the weekend that turned out really well.

Basic recipe: 4 cups vodka, 3 cups sugar, 2 cups fruit. Put the sugar and vodka into a pan. Heat, but do not boil, the vodka until the sugar dissolves. Add the fruit. Continue at heat (still not allowing it to boil) for a couple of hours, and let cool to room temperature. Strain through a fine mesh into a bottle.

The 4:3 is to taste. Some people prefer 1:1 or 3:2. Try different ratios and see what you like.

I also did a triple berry mixture this way the next day.

ingredients: flour, egg, curry powder, red chilli, spring onion, onion, ham, coriander, celery, corn.
