I have a roast, mac & cheese, and a creamed spinach gratin in the oven. I can't wait to eat it.

I'm making burgers tonight with a variety of accompaniments: caramelized onions, sauteed mushrooms, bacon, lettuce, and tomatoes. We have leftover fried zucchini from this weekend, so I'm using that as a side instead of fries. :smile:

I do the same... I don't care for nuts either. I had a really nice supply of sweet basil, purple basil, and thai basil, last summer. But I think the winter has killed all of it. :ermm:

My cat will whine and beg for anything we're eating. We leave dry food out for him, but when we're eating something he can't eat, we give him wet food. We also buy him a rotisserie chicken from costco. (spoiled brat!!) He likes chicken but I think his favorite is fish.

thanks for the recommendations everyone. :)

I have a ton of cookbooks. But, now I'm looking for reference books. For example, a book on herbs, or cheeses, or wines, etc. Does anyone have any favorites they can recommend?

I’ve always admired people who can shop for vintage clothes. I like looking at it, but I just can’t do it. I don’t have the patience to shop in vintage stores…. I don’t even have the patience to shop at bargain places!! I wear a lot of designer clothes, but my style is pretty “plain jane.”

I saw this recipe on a local food tv show (Bay Cafe on KRON 4). It looked really good... Orange Cilantro Dipping Sauce 1 bunch cilantro, fresh 1 tablespoon garlic, fresh minced 1 tablespoon ginger, fresh minced 1 tablespoon habanero chile sauce 1 tablespoon fish sauce 1...

The Food Network has really changed. The bf and I were talking about the "Next Food Network" star show. And how the people who we would watch got kicked out first. They're all about entertainment now. I don't watch Food Network nearly as much as I used to because everytime I try to watch it...

Thanks... I used this recipe: http://www.godiva.com/recipes/recipe.asp?id=576 I don't think it was cooked long enough, even though it was about 20 minutes and the recipe called for 16. I used ramekins, but I didn't do a water bath, I was considering it, but I wasn't sure if it was necessary...

I've never made a souffle before. But I've always seen them on tv and thought they looked good. I tried to make one today. It rose and looked ready, but the inside of it tasted like cooked eggs and was a little mushy in the inside. Is that normal for a souffle?

thanks for the birthday wishes! ...My birthday has been spent in bed with a cold and an ear infection. :(

Agreed. I made potstickers for new years. (The actual 2006 new year, not the lunar new year). I had a batch that was left over so I froze it. I make two versions of potstickers: pork & cabbage and seafood. I make my own dipping sauce also. I also like it with chinese rice vinegar (red or black).

All but day 4 and 7 are in the daily routine of my kitty.

1) Get a pet hedgehog 2) Eat less tofu 3) Travel to Italy 4) Study abnormal psychology 5) Get in shape with dodgeball I don't eat much tofu, so I guess that means to eat none? hehe... I want to go to Italy.

I'm making meatloaf right now :)

I've been looking all over the package, but I don't see anything about keeping it in the fridge after opening. What's the best way to store it?

1. I'm 5'8", 120 lbs, Chinese, born and lived in CA for my whole life. 2. I've been to all 50 states, parts of Mexico and Canada, China, Hong Kong, Thailand. I used to travel a lot, but I haven't taken a vacation in at least 3 years - I've been too busy :sad: 3. I am the queen of clean. I love...

That's a good idea. Thanks! The ipod nano comes in a 4gb. I also like the idea of bringing the player into the car with me. So I've been thinking about that also. I'm indecisive and fastidious. :tongue:

I don't remember the last time I asked for a Christmas present. I've always been happier giving presents than receiving. But now that I'm jobless, I could list a ton of things that I want, but the only thing I REALLY want, I don't think anyone can give me; a job and my diploma. :glare:

I've been looking for a mp3 player for a long time. I want something simple that I can work out with, so I'm looking for a flash instead of a hard drive. The sad thing is, I had a creative zen nano, but returned that because the store I got it from sent me the wrong one, and I had a big dispute...

I made some spaghetti and garlic cheese toasts with some left over roasted garlic for lunch... but I've been craving pizza, so I was promised pizza for tonight.

it's about 60 degrees here and raining. I don't know how you people live, I get cold when it's under 80 degrees :lol:

I always have "asian style" chicken and beef marinated and frozen, ready to go as is, or prepared in several ways. I don't do stir frys that often. When I do, I cheat. I use the prepared black bean garlic sauce, chili garlic sauce, oyster sauce, and whatever else I have on hand and I'm in the...
