A Dog's View of Throwing Up: Infinite Food

One of our dogs always drinks a ton of water after eating. And given that he swallows as much air as food as he literally inhales his dinner, he eventually lets out a big burp at some point. More times than not, water and/or food comes up with said burp making a huge mess on the floor. Which has been known to happen as many as 4 times after one meal. Sometimes we get there in time to clean it up before he re-consumes it, sometimes not.

Small Plates: Four Easy Japanese Izakaya Dishes

So awesome. We often order the exact same items at restaurants. Now if only you can share a recipe for tebasaki chicken, I'd be a very happy woman.

Need a suggestion for a tasty beginner fish dish

Easy Sole Meuniere
from Ina Garten / Barefoot Contessa Recipes

½ cup all-purpose flour
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 fresh sole fillets, 3 to 4 ounces each
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
6 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice (3 lemons)
1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley

Preheat the oven to 200 degrees. Have 2 heat-proof dinner plates ready.

Combine the flour, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper in a large shallow plate. Pat the sole fillets dry with paper towels and sprinkle one side with salt.

Heat 3 tablespoons of the butter in a large (12-inch) sauté pan over medium heat until it starts to brown. Dredge 2 sole fillets in the seasoned flour on both sides and place them in the hot butter. Lower the heat to medium-low and cook for 2 minutes. Turn carefully with a metal spatula and cook for 2 minutes on the other side. While the second side cooks, add ½ teaspoon of lemon zest and 3 tablespoons of lemon juice to the pan.

Carefully put the fish fillets on the ovenproof plates and pour the sauce over them. Keep the cooked fillets warm in the oven while you repeat the process with the remaining 2 fillets. When they’re done, add the cooked fillets to the plates in the oven. Sprinkle with the parsley, salt, and pepper and serve immediately.

Dinner Tonight: Chicken and Rice Soup with Ginger Dipping Sauce

Hmmmm...very similar to Philippine Arroz Caldo [rice soup]. Total comfort food. It's the Filipino take on chicken soup I suppose. Can definitely cure whatever ails you.

Here's MarketMan's recipe:

Seriously Asian: Korean Soondubu Jjigae (Soft Tofu Stew)

I absolutely love Soondubu! I've asked numerous Korean friends for recipes and their answer always seems to be "My mom makes it. I don't know how she does it. She doesn't follow a recipe." So thankful that you posted one - definitely making this soon.

Are You a Night Baker?

Although I try not to bake at night for fear of late-night over-indulgence on whatever it is I just made, I have been know to whip up a batch of my chocolate chip cookie dough to be made early the following morning because my husband promised some co-worker or another some "fresh-baked cookies tomorrow" in exchange for a computer application upgrade or whatever.

Romantical food memories...

Me and my husband's first date was ice cream cones at Lappert's at the Hermosa Beach pier. I remember getting two scoops of something which was way too much. I ended up making a drippy mess on one of the benches at the beach.
