Caesar salad to go with my dinner. I didn't read the main course recipe close enough and didn't notice that the chicken had to marinate an hour before you cook it. I had to go ahead and eat my salad while the chicken marinates so that I wouldn't gnaw off my arm.

Cropped, filtered and enhanced for the final cover: this is the original photo I took. As you can see, there was no "compositing" of the image: everything you see in the final cover was there in the original photo.

Home cooked hamburgers (with fries from the nearby kebab place)

- grilled pork with onion, tomato, and basil

- vegetable soup

- mashed pumpkin salad

I made the filling: pork, marinated in soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar, rice wine, scallions, peppers. Dumpling wrapper made from flour, water and oil.

I woke up early so I made brunch

waffles, omelette, crispy broiled smoked bacon, sauteed mushrooms, and sliced tomatoes with fresh crushed peppered. The waffles were pretty good especially for my first time.

But my omelette didn't turn out well...not enough oil and the non-stick pan is no longer non-stick.

三條大大的鯽魚。

Sliced fishballs were lightly sautéed in oil 1st for the tofu dish. Rika has made a big step in accepting commercially produced fish cakes and fishballs in her diet just recently! She has been refusing to eat them as a kid.

trying out our new Le Creuset pan, it cooks like a dream.

My mom, the best cook in the world to me. This is fetuccini with white cream sauce and parsely herbs. A clean, veggie pasta.

Le's Home-Cooked Braised Carp

I made -- I don't know what to call it. I cut up chicken ans stir fried it in pepper oil and olive oil, with carrots, broccoli, onions, red peppers, green peppers, yellow peppers, and potatoes. I spiced it with crushed red pepper, cayenne pepper, adobo, turmeric, red curry, salt, black pepper, Hungarian hot paprika, and Sylvia's Soul Food Chicken Rub.

- beefsteak with onion and watercress

- avocado salad

- eryngii mushroom soup

- rice

We bought some beef during grocery shopping and I tried to use the grill we got recently (at a great price) to cook it, I think it's a little bit too well done LOL but the rest of the sides were gooood, I'm so glad I have some mash potato for tomorrow's lunch :P

Learnt how to make this at a cooking demonstration (recipes provided but copyrighted so not reproducing here).

Melts very very fast but heavenly melting in mouth. (Icing sugar coating sort of also melting into the surface of the truffle). Unbelievably rich and sinful. Not for dieters or diabetics for that matter.
