the whole chicken braised in sweet soy and ginger, finish with sprigs of cilantro and juliened fresh ginger.

homemade soups, starting with meat bones and ending with seasonal vegetables....the best! takes hours to simmer on the stove...but the end results are used in so many meals...the simplest being laddled into a big bowl and with a crusty bread on the side.

I highly recommend Suteishi located on peck slip.
It is a small japanese restaurant. I had my husband's 50th birthday there and had 50 people attend a lunchtime sit-down meal of shared appetizers and various dishes. The restaurant is airy and has plenty of light, the hostess/servers and owner were superb in both service and great food.

pioneer woman's sweet potatoes, silver palate's corn bread-sausage stuffing with apples, spiced pumpkin pudding pie....all of these will be made for our thanksgiving dinner!! thanks for the recipies!!

learning to cook is an on going adventure....there is always new recipies to try and new ingredients on the market that begs to be tasted ! My mom was my first real instructor in food preparation and my mother-in-law contributed as well. To this day i am still learning new ways to prepare all kinds of food.

Bacon wrapped around jumbo shrimps and add a piece of pineapple....grill or cook up in a hot fry pan....yummy as appetizer or light first course!

i have to stick to my childhood favorites. my choice for a noodle dish will be Won Ton and noodles soup. And for the rice dish, it will be the roast pork and soy sauce chicken over white rice. still so yummy.....

I have always had a tomato plant or two growing during the summer in the backyard. This year i have expanded the variety of tomatoes to heirloom and tiny teardrop tomatoes. So satisfying to grow organically, but very time-comsumming to care for the garden. All worthwhile when eating the delicious, juicy fruits of one's labors.
