Christmas dinner was a big hit.

I'm trying to decide on what to do for New Year's Eve. Last year I massaman in the slow cooker. This year I was thinking I would like to do Vietnamese beef spring rolls, but I have not had much luck handling rice papers. Any tips? If not spring rolls then maybe roll your own sushi or my fall back bulgogi.

This was my sandwich. There are many like it, but this one was mine. And it was delicious.

The best meals come from a hodge podge of ingredients. My mom had given me some lamb, I sauteed it with red onion and pepper along with some salt, pepper, and sriracha. I put it over some baby spinach and corn tortillas, topped with Greek yogurt. Worth the wait.

Wouldn't actually get one now, but making them yourself is even better.

It's a breakfast for dinner kind of night.

Butter, maple syrup (real maple syrup), and a caramelized banana compote.

We did that too, in a different way! I couldn't take any more heavy left overs, so we had smoked trout and lots of lemon juice.

Yum!!

Together we would have had the foundations of a pretty special brunch, huh?

The best part would be the company.

Best ankake fried rice alternate version, when the heat of the rice is good enough to cook the fresh egg you'll scramble in. Wish I had the proper ingredients to make this right now.

Homity pie for fata ( on left)

Thing on right is something else entirely.....

Oh my. A thing of beauty. There's a place not far from me that does fab Homity Pie, not been for ages, now you've given me yearnings.

That homity pie looks so tasty, Elle! I googled it and am going to have to investigate further.


I have been obsessed with this pizza dip recipe lately. Another way to eat pizza? Well, fuckity YES.
I added ricotta, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and garlic powder to my cream cheese base- because I can't leave recipes alone.

The best thing is if you are making this recipe for multiple people and everyone likes a different pizza topping, you can customize it in smaller glass bowls (oven-safe) rather than a large pie dish.

I've made mushroom with marinara, pepperoni with marinara, and mushroom with pesto. All were incredible, but the pesto and pepperoni are oily so I wound up using paper towels to soak up the excess oil after baking. I have friends who use white sauce if they don't like marinara.

Just cut up a baguette, get a little garlic and butter action going, toast it up and dip it in. It's not a super healthy all-the-time meal but it's so good for a treat and it's quick and easy.

I have a whole vat of leftover gravy. Maybe I will try that this weekend. YUM!

Also, hi. I was thinking about you when I was roasting garlic yesterday.

Dinner at a 5 star restaurant the other night with the family. Whole fish in a sweet/sour sauce, dong pu rou (a big piece of pork with the bone in it, under a layer of thick soft fat that melted in your mouth - heavenly!), a delicious soup that looked like pumpkin, but still don't know, a dish that at first seemed to be tofu but was wedges of steamed egg, steamed buns round a dish of spicy beef and peppers, sticky rice covering small pork ribs, green Chinese spinach in garlic, sea cucumber pieces, a plate of sliced Chinese sausage, roasted sweet potato in their jackets, another soup in a crock pot that had slices of pork..i know there were others too, but I can't recall them.
All accompanied by shot after shot of Baijyo - a Chinese spirit to toast each other.

Thank you, I'll tell Gianbattista, he 'll be excited his food is getting recognition. His cooking is really expanding in repertoire. It becomes more and more fun to cook with him as years go by and he exceeds my ability .

Homity pie is really good in individual pies too, the remainder of ours ( which made many slices, its very filling pie, so you don't need big pieces) is now sliced and in the freezer. G can take some to work once a week, and it will make great lunch snack for him at weekends.

Tomorrow I'll also slice and freeze what is left of the ham. Risotti, paste, soups,. I love having a big freezer.

Yes, that pie looked like it belonged on the pages of Bon Appetit or Saveur!
It sounds like you two have fun in the kitchen, I like reading your food stories.

My stepfather, who is from the Whitley Bay area in England, was notorious for having eaten Mountain Dew and Heath bars for breakfast for many years before marrying my mother. He has recently discovered salad bars and cake mixes. He's known how to make beef stew and rice pudding for quite some time, but cake mixes are now fascinating to him and it makes me laugh every time I call him and find out what "new to him" cooking angle he is working. It may be many years before he works up to Gianbattista's level of expertise.

I would take extra freezer space any day, it's a wonderful thing.

I have a whole vat of leftover gravy. Maybe I will try that this weekend. YUM!

Also, hi. I was thinking about you when I was roasting garlic yesterday.

All of this is happy-making!
I bought a perfect head of garlic the other day, whenever I find one it feels like a present made just for me. Our stores now only carry elephant garlic in bulk, so some of the heads are a bit battered.

It's reallllllllly hard to go wrong with deliciousness like that!
