I just bought this online for my hubby. He is a lover of fried chicken so this will make an awesome Christmas gift. He also loves shortcuts so this is gonna be great.

Since I was able to place the order on William Sonoma's website, I don't think they're out of stock. You might wanna revise this post. :)

How can you not be completely addicted to fries? I am. It's a toss up between Red Robin and Wendy's fries. I adore the soggy ones the most.

I was too a skeptic until I read about it here on SE.

I wanted to suprise my husband with pancakes on a Saturday morning so I bought it (I was too lazy to make my own even if it's incredibly easy). The plus side was that there was little to no clean up which appealed to me the most.

We love Batter Blaster! It came out so good. Also, I loved how they snuck in an inuendo right in the name.... get it? Batter... blaster? Haha...

I loved it when he said "betta than yo mama's titties" Ghetto cooking for real!

This was a damn good recipe. So easy and soooo perfect for the rainy and cold weather outside. Mmmm...

I was rooting for Symon all the way! I'm so glad he won :D

The confines of my own kitchen. It's so ridiculously small that only one person can cook in somewhat comfort. All my appliances are old as HELL. The oven door doesn't close all the way, the fridge makes weird pig noises. *sigh* My kitchen IS the devil or at least hell hehe.

I was really upset that they eliminated Tre. WTF were they thinking? He's 1 of 2 top competitors. Now Hung needs to step his game up and win. Otherwise I will stop watching Top Chef.

Yesssssss! Another awesome blog for me to peruse.

I love step by step pictures :) Whenever I try out a new recipe I try to do step by step pics on my blog too.

How bout steaming them with some fermented black soybeans, scallion, ginger, garlic, soy sauce and sesame seed oil?

What makes me the most happy is just simply being in the kitchen. I think I've mentioned before that my kitchen is super small.. so small that only one person can be in it at a time. Even though the counter tops are lime green, the shutters to the window are almost a neon yellow, the stovetop is old and decrepid and the hood doesn't vent well, I still enjoy my time in the kitchen. It's cooking food in the kitchen and having it turn out better than what I had expected. When my husband's face lights up with delight from the food I've made, that's pure joy to me.

For me, it's gotta be SPAM. I love the stuff even though others hate it.

My mom used to make SPAM fried rice for us and it was an easy but really good go to meal. When I started living on my own, I made SPAM fried rice as well but tired of it easily. Plus, I was never as good as my mom made it. So... what else could I do with it?

One of my friends had invited me over to his house for some pre-party preparations. Him being a fellow foodie, I was eager. I asked what we were making and he said SPAM musubi. I asked what it was and it was basically SPAM sushi, Hawaiian style. He taught me how to make homemade teriyaki sauce in which slices of pan fried SPAM were dipped into. (Equal parts soy sauce and brown sugar, course chopped 2-3 scallion, sliced inch or two ginger and 4-5 cloves of garlic. Boil and drop to simmer for 10 minutes and there's homemade teriyaki sauce) We used a Japanese plastic rectangular mold to shape the rice. Top it with a dipped slice of SPAM and wrap with nori.

THANK GOD FOR SPAM!
