Cook the Book: 'The Asian Grill'
the funniest mishaps usually happen when one first experiments with grilling food...what temperature? how long? marinate or sauce? and rushing dinner always means disaster...so, heavily sauced cut-up chicken tossed on a hot grill with no tongs or spatula means ....its going to be take-out for dinner tonight!
Bridal Shower in Seaport Area
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.

Cook the Book: 'Japanese Hot Pots'
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.

Oolong: The Tea for Tea People
oolong tea is what i drank at home growing up in a traditional chinese household. we drank it cool in the summer times and warm in the winter. multilpe additions of hot water all day long. its somewhat strong for non-tea drinkers, but i have always found it pleasant. no need to be a tea-snob, be adventurous and curious, and have a open mind and palate.

Cook the Book: 'Vegetable Harvest'
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.

Currently I crave the Thai Suki after reading all this. I'm sad that I never see it in the states. My fav place in Thailand is MK restaurants. Super cold restaurant, super hot soup!

Tried to grill a pizza. The dough was to thick so the outside was burnt and the inside was not cooked.
Cook the Book: 'The Asian Grill'
It wasn't funny to me but to everybody else. While grilling the grill fell over on my feet. I wound up with a grill full of meat and coals on my bare feet.

About the worst thing I did was one time I put some chicken on the grill and then went inside to let it cook. I sat down and proceeded to fall asleep and slept for about 3 hours. I woke up and could smell the burned chicken outside. The chicken was no longer recognizable, it looked like a grill full of hockey pucks almost.

Ugh. I was trying to grill salmon. Well, I didn't know that everything basically falls apart near the end...so let's just say the humans didn't have salmon that night, and the briquettes did.

My mishap was even attempting to grill and having flames shoot up.

Once I left the food on the grill too long and it burned.

The funniest thing that I ever tried to grill was a cornish hen on a very small hibachi. I cooked it so long that there was no soft meat to eat. Even the bones of the small bird were burnt to a crisp. The vegetables turned out okay, so that is all that we had to dine on. But, it was a memorable disasterous grilling experience.

I would say this is our failies funniest or worst grilling mishap. And you can blame it on my husband. We live an hour from my College Alma Mater so we like to go tailgate during football season. The first game of the season we were all pumped up to go we loaded up our car with all our grilling neccessities, our chairs, our tent, our cooler with the marinated meats and wings. Well low and behold we get there and unload the car. My deareast husband forgot to load the most important part THE WEBER! (rolling eyes) Thank goodness it was a College town with friendly folks. Our tailgating neighbors offered to let us use their grill. Unfortunately it came at the cost of sharing our delicious bar-b-q wings.

I love to grill chicken that's been marinated in pineapple juice so I once suggested that pineapple would be a great marinade for beef. Well, it's not. I soaked it for maybe 48 hours which was far too long and the beef came out incredibly tough.

One time I BBQd several burgers and put them on a plate on a picnic table. I ran inside for just a minute to get the other food, and when I came out the burgers were already gone! The dog had jumped onto the picnic table and helped herslef to the entire plate of burgers!
Thank you for the cookbook giveaway.

We went camping --I took the kids down to play in the water---while my husband put the steaks on the grill--when we came back from our swim my husband had decided to put the grill on top of the huge igloo plastic cooler that was filled with ice and all our other food. We smelled the toxic fumes before we could see our camp--the grill of course melted the cooler and ruined all our food---even the steaks tasted toxic------not one of my husbands best moments.

I remember the first time I tried I put the BBQ sauce on before the meat was on the grill and the sauce was so sugary the sauce burned before the meat cooked.

I burned many a meals on the grill before I finally learned how to use one. My worst time was when I burned my hand pretty bad trying to light up once.

I tried to grill tomatoes - I left them for what felt like seconds, came back, and they were a slimy mess stuck the grill in mushy pieces - ah, well.

The first time my husband and I tried to make ribs, we charred them so badly even the dog wouldn't eat them.

The expensive tenderloin that we bought was "overexposed" on the grill and became chewy and dry; an ugly meal it was!
