Ingredients: Chinese sausage (two varieties: pork sausage, and pork and liver sausage), shrimps, water chestnut, eggs. Sticky rice has to be steamed and washed the night before so it will be soft, translucent, but not too sticky.
Vegetable biryani. Very spicy but excellent tasting. Contains cauliflower, carrots, peas, yellow corn, mushrooms, onions, raisins.
Greek Couscous, is that a thing? I had some left over couscous from a weeknight dinner so next day I added some chopped fresh tomatoes, kalamata olives, feta cheese, cucumber, salt & pepper and a little bit of Trader Joes Feta Salad Dressing. It was very good, looking forward to having this for lunch during the work week.

Disgustingly rich and delicious - the recipe says peanuts, but I love it with walnuts. The base is a custardy shortbready delight, the topping a sticky sweet nutty caramel. I expect to eat the lot and then feel really unwell ;-) Recipe blogged here soozs.blogspot.com/2006/07/recipe.html
The BCNYC (babycakes NYC) apple pie. It's vegan, sugar-free, and uses spelt flour (Though spelt flour is not gluten-free, many people with wheat sensitivities seem to be okay with it, but YMMV so check with your doctor). Instead of butter and sugar, the recipe calls for coconut oil and agave nectar.
I'm a total meat-eater who doesn't mind indulging in the occasional real-fat real-sugar desserts, but this apple pie is actually pretty darn good. Few lessons I learned: 1) Adjust water/flour contents to the feel of the dough -- mine was too crumbly as you can see. 2) Try baking it on a slightly higher rack for a crisper crust. 3) Don't pour in all the juices from the roasted apples. 4) Warm up the coconut oil for a bit before using.
So many plums. The cyclonic winds have blown even more off the tree so I'm going to have to deal with more yet. I see either plum sauce or more jam in my future.
My first cabbage casserole, with lingonberry jam/jello. Quite good, but next I´ll use more syrup and choose a different type of cabbage.
- chicken and pumpkin saute (onion, ginger, common beans)
- boiled spinach with dried bonito flakes
- burdock root salad
- sweetened red kidney bean
- potato and kelp flakes miso soup
I made a fresh couscous salad with pickled radishes and Greek feta - yum! foodforfel.com/2010/02/couscous-salad-with-pickled-radish...
----------
Radishes lined in a row.
Bought the ingredients from local market in Allapuzha, South India, to create a fusion dish that shares a taste of India, but with a lighter touch to the tourist's tastebuds.
Bluefin Tuna, tandoori spiced and pan-seared, served with a stir fried bean, carrot and mango combo.
Couldn't concentrate on cooking and taking pics, so my settings were totally screwed and I didn't get one decent shot of the end-product :(
But I'll do this again ... because it was delicious ... and I'll share the recipe and (hopefully) some decent pics, then
:)
