ackkk hyperventilation~
the thought of living without all my beloved cheeses is raising my blood pressure.
heck, I'm eating a grilled cheese right now.
mozzarella, aged white cheddar, sharp cheddar, parmesan, cream cheese and brie are the cheeses I could NEVER live without.
seriously, I could live on cheese and nothing else.
I dont really know..?
I love to cook, but I also love to eat. So I generally eat more than any of my friends at parties, restaurants, etc. But my weight never goes up or down. I've never weighed more than 105 lb, but then again, I havn't been on a scale since my last checkup. Also I'm quite short, about 5'3''.
My friends don't really comment on this kind of stuff, but when I first met them, they were a bit incredulous about the amount of food I loved to cook and eat. Now, they're used to it. :]
Combining two yummy things is usually good. However, chocolate ketchup sounds slightly barfy.
~PerkyMac~ that sounds mouthwatering. literally.
Yes, but once I get immersed in the cooking, I'm not compelled to devour the whole dish. Just sensing smell, touch, sound and sight feed my soul. Then again, when I step into a kitchen someone has been cooking in, I have to taste everything.
Those chops would be so good in a stew made in a pressure cooker. Probably because I'm craving a warm, stewy dish.
I love sushi whether its room temp or warm. Warm just means the rice was just made. Whenever I make it at home, I consume immediately so the rice is usually warm. On the other hand, I think sashimi is good cold. If its served on ice for presentation purposes then I don't mind.
I would store half in the freezer. You never know when you might desperately need pecans :] For the rest: make some candied pecans, pecan butter, toss some in a salad, cookies, yogurt, granola.
probably some all-night snacking, mind-numbed by the paper I have to write. I have yogurt, toast, tea and chips on hand.
three boxes of oreos in one sitting
I know people think that meringues are one of the easiest desserts to make, but all the times I've attempted to make them, it turns out to be an epic fail.
I love ssam, Korean lettuce wraps.
Usually, I liike to put in bulgogi, galbi, or sashimi.
Then rice, and chile or fermented soybean paste.
~mollykate~ that sucks. Just curious, are there any "bready" foods that don't contain gluten? I can't imagine life without pastries !
Filling phyllo cups with cheescake sounds yummy.
mmm.. now I'm tempted to try the chocolate cake and the bday cake.
I usually crave cheese. Just a little and I'm all happy :]
Believe it or not, I had no idea what freezer burn was until someone mentioned it and explained it to me. Before, anytime I encountered freezer burn, I just thought the food had gone bad, and I threw it out.
~lemonfair~ thanks for the warning. I take care not to consume too much to cause my throat to swell, but sometimes, I just need a bite of a crisp and juicy apple! What ~jaf~ said is true too. Canned and cooked fruits don't really bother me. You're lucky! I hope I outgrow my allergies. (but a munchkin is never traveling anywhere near my mouth again)
haha munchkins are little doughnut balls from Dunkin Donuts.
I used the chocolate ones, but now even seeing a carton on munchkins makes me back away in fear.
At the pho places I've been to, they cook the broth right on the table, and there is a dial next to it to adjust the temperature. So naturally, the meat comes out raw and everything else comes out on the side.
@honeybea~ How would you make your own almond milk? I'm intrigued.
Actually when I was growing up, my parents always brought home a crazy variety of fruits and veggies, so I think I've tried most everything except rhubarb.
But I remember the first time I tried I ate a perfectly soft and ripe persimmon with a spoon and a fig picked from the tree in my backyard.
mmmmm... :]
I have to say, I love NYtimes for everything.
I have a probably unfair bias and aversion towards mac and cheese. Its most likely because I've never eaten a particulary excellent one. But when I think of mac and cheese, I immediately associate it with artificial, bright yellow cheese covering slimy macaroni.
I know people love this "comfort food" but I cant understand them. Maybe now that I've read MS's recipie, I too can join the cult following (:
I love honey and cinnamon. Its sweet and goes great with yogurt, fruits, and pastries. I was wondering if I could possibly make a cold honey cinammon tea. Whenever I make it hot, then chill it in the fridge, it tastes wierd and honey settles to the bottom.
Any thoughts?
i despise allergies.
I hate being allergic to pollen in the spring, but being allergic to everyday foods is so annoying.
Mostly, I'm mildly allergic to apples and pears. Not severely, but enough so that my mouth and throat get swollen if I eat too many. But sometimes when I crave them, I might eat a couple bites or slices.
A severe allergy I have: munchkins.
no joke. I was on antihistimines and medication for two weeks to clear the rash.
How about you?
Costco's bakery items are generally tasty and inexpensive.
I wouldn't go out of my way to get them, but I like their huuge croissants, muffins and pies :]
Until...i tasted their cookies.
The three flavors, oatmeal raisin, white choc. macadamia, and the classic choco chip are soo good.
Every bite is satisfaction.
Now, when i crave cookies, i dream of these.
Has anybody else fallen in love with them?

I was introduced to the fluffernutter sandwich in the 4th grade, when one of my classmates brought it in for lunch. I was so intrigued that a mom would make a dessert-esque luch. I was used to never being able to drink soda, or candy in the house.[of course that meant buying chocolate and candy in bulk during my teenage years] My mom also never made any type of casserole, and honestly, I had no idea what a casserole even was. She never made any grilled cheeses and pastries. Or rice a roni.
