I was looking for something to cook for two with seafood from my freezer. The www is definitely an oasis of food information! Today, I browsed through two of my cookbooks instead since YH had occupied the PC for online game. I decided on the yellow rice from my Curry Cookbook omitting cashew nuts and raisins used in the recipe and I used seafood instead. And I replaced ghee with olive oil, which is a healthier choice.
I am very satisfied with the final product though this, again my 1st attempt in cooking seafood yellow rice :) The spices used were just enough to give this dish a delectable mild flavour. I certainly have grown to love basmati rice for “one in all’ meals! Between, Rika is the 1st to use basmati rice among us~
Cooking this meal also reminded me of my first plate of seafood rice I had in Europe. Most of the food provided by the hotels was good, but I was really craving for Chinese food and rice after days of having western meals! OK, the best seafood rice, recommended by ER, I ever had was in Salzburg, Austria during the Alpine tour many years ago! - Jenny

Purchased from Mitchell & Rammelsburg Furniture by Jesse Smith Norton (1826-1887), a Civil War colonel who lived in Toledo, Ohio.
The firm of Mitchell and Rammelsburg was perhaps the best known of the Cincinnati Victorian furniture makers. Robert Mitchell came to Cincinnati in 1829, an Irish immigrant intent on making his mark. After apprenticing himself to established cabinetmakers, he struck out on his own in 1836, eventually forming a partnership that would last until almost the end of the century.
Mitchell's counterpart was Frederick Rammelsburg, one of the thousands of German immigrants who settled in Cincinnati during a great wave of 19th-century settlement.
From their five-story showroom on Columbia Street, Mitchell and Rammelsburg advertised sofas, chairs and cased furniture — sideboards, dressers, desks and elaborate dining and bedroom suites.
Jesse Smith Norton enlisted as the 35 year old Colonel of the 21st Ohio Volunteer Infantry, enlisting on April 27, 1861 and receiving his commission May 15, 1861.
During the summer campaign of 1861, Colonel Norton was seriously wounded in the hip and captured July 17, 1861 at the Battle of Scarey Creek in western Virginia. Detained by the Confederates only briefly, then paroled, he returned home to recover and mustered out with the regiment August 12, 1861.
He was retained as Colonel of the 21st Ohio for three years' service. He led the regiment through the summer of 1862, where in northern Alabama, a number of problems came home to roost for him. In the first place, he had never been formally exchanged since his capture in July 1861, so his leadership of the 21st Ohio was in direct violation of his parole.
In the second instance, his departing divisional commander Brigadier General Ormsby M. Mitchel discovered him at a clambake with well-known Alabama secessionists.
Combined with an accusation of stealing then selling government horses for personal profit, Norton spent the next several months shuttling between his home in Perrysburg, Ohio and the capitals of Columbus and Washington, D.C. trying to clear his name. Meeting indifferent success, he resigned his commission to date December 20, 1862.

I know SAH usually gives the bacon cheeseburger updates, but I (Cory) ate this one. It is a Bacon Cheese Homestyle Melt from Burger King. The only thing I didn't like was the sauce (ranch dressing?) but I just scraped the bulk of it off. On the whole, this was very satisfying and delicious. The King did a good job with this one. The bread and swiss really make it.

I miss the king oyster mushrooms that have been randomly absent from the supermarkets' shelves. Today I have decided to replace it with fresh button mushrooms in this dish instead.
No. 238 This is one of our handsomest bungalows and is particularly adapted to a corner location. Upstairs is a very fine large well ventilated bed room, a large enclosed sleeping porch, a maid's room, bathroom and fine closets and storage space.
Pre-mixed prawn paste chicken sauce in bottle is hard to find although the pre-packed powder is easily available. The later is milder in flavours so I tried to concoct my own. The comment on this dish was: it tasted pretty close to those we had ordered at eateries. Still I want to adjust the recipe below. I will reduce "lam yee" to a quarter piece and increase prawn paste to 2 tablespoons.
My version:
Recipe:
Prawn Paste Chicken
Ingredients:
1 kg drumsticks – deboned
1 pc “lam yee”
½ pc “fu yee”
1 tbsp 5-spice powder
1 tbsp oyster sauce
1 tbsp prawn paste [roasted blachan]
½ an egg white
½ tbsp soya sauce
1 tsp sugar
½ tsp pepper
1 ½ tbsp wine
Ajinomoto to taste
¾ tbsp ground red yeast rice
1 tbsp corn flour
Method:
1. Marinate chicken with all the above ingredients and set aside for 1 hour.
2. Fried chicken, skin side down first, till cooked.
Red yeast rice is also known as red fermented rice or hong qu mi / 红曲米in Chinese. If you want to know more about this ingredient, click this and here's lam yee or red beancurds.
My version:
Recipe:
Prawn Paste Chicken Fillets
Ingredients:
500 g chicken fillet
Seasonings:
1 egg white
50 g shrimp paste powder [a pre-mix from Singlong]
1 tsp roasted blachan powder
½ a piece of fermented bean curd [fu yi in Cantonese]
Pinch of salt, pepper and a little dark soya sauce
Method:
1. Marinate the chicken fillets with all the seasonings for an hour.
2. Fry in oil till golden brown or cooked.
Note: Shrimp paste powder is a commercially produced pre-mix from Singlong, a Singapore company. The ingredients listed on the package are wheat flour, prawn paste, salt, pepper and garlic. So, you may try using the same ingredients if you cannot purchase a similar product in where you live.

It's been so long since I last did an upload, due to the past few months not being some of my best, but any how moving on and up.
I've been busy decorating and having a change around through the house.

Food of the Mid-Autumn Festival: These baked moulds of pastries filled with lotus paste are most recognizable and they are the Cantonese style mooncakes. For this version, rounds of pastries are filled with lotus paste, wrapped in a delicious bake or snow skin pastry.
Mooncakes come in many varieties, People of the Hokkien and Teochew dialect groups have their own type of mooncakes, The Hokkien ones are called “tau sar piah” that are wrapped in red and white paper in a long cylindrical roll. The Teochew yam moonckakes come in flaky spiral crispy skin. Yam is always used as filling instead of the most common lotus paste.
Businessmen are so innovative, today; consumers are spoiled of choice of mooncakes in varieties of flavours, sizes and packaging. But, like us, old-timers prefer the traditional lotus paste with salted egg yolk mooncakes, which are still the best.
Pomelo, which resembles giant grapefruit, is imported from Malaysia and Thailand. It is a part of this festival and is considered an auspicious fruit. Miniature yams are only sold during the Mid-Autumn Festival. They are usually eaten along with mooncakes. They are steamed, eaten with the skin peeled and then dipped in granulated sugar.
I love these mats. I have made several for gifts and I have three sets for home. They are easy and pretty, and they get better as they are washed and used.
Family outing on the 7th day of Chinese New Year on YH's off day. He was treating us to a movie, Ghost Rider, at Plaza Singapora. YH said there will be part two of this movie. I am looking forward to its production!
This photo was taken while the rest of us were shopping at a supermarket and were waiting for YH who was at an internet cafe.
No. 231. This beautiful and unusual home is as complete as a house can be. Upstairs is a very large bedroom 11x23 feet, another 10x15 feet, a large enclosed sleeping porch, a maid's room a tiled bath and numerous large closets.
