Angry Asian Creations - i'm asian. i'm angry. i create.

there are two moments in the year where the stars seem to align and no matter where you are in the world, in the northern or southern hemisphere, the temps dip or rise to a mildness that brings about a sweetness in the air, and a fragile but hopeful beat to our hearts. it is neither hot nor cold, and it's my favorite times of year... there is a small garden near dw's place that we like to run by when we're training, they have tulips budding and i can't tell you how excited i am about this. we walked thru last night, after work, holding hands and i silently counted the days until i would see the colorful petals. very soon it will be picnic season, and a floral breeze will sweep thru our open windows. this recipe is inspired by the warming temperatures of spring's imminent arrival. perfect for picnics as it does not use easily perishable mayo. Use only the freshest of ingredients, organic if possible. disclaimer: this is a sponsored post by the Idaho® Potato Commission. http://www.angryasiancreations.com/

http://www.indiansimmer.com/ When Prerna kindly asked me to write a guest post, I hesitated. I’m on a break from blogging for good reasons. One of them is that I saturated myself with sugar during the autumn while baking and making sweets more than necessary. By December I reached my limit of tolerance and took time to adjust and reform my diet. As I’m writing now, I’m sipping delicious green smoothie made of broccoli, spinach, avocado, sunflower seeds and simple spices. I’m going raw.

Macheesmo - Learning to be Confident in the Kitchen

Betsy and I have almost stopped having friends over at our house because Porter has lost his mind . He gets so excited when new friends come over that he refuses to let them do anything other than play with him. It’s a bad situation and after trying to train him on our own, we finally bit the bullet and paid the very reasonable cost to go to one of the dog training classes offered in the area. Italian Easter Bread - It is Easter this weekend and I’m assuming a lot of people will be in the kitchen cooking. I’m in charge of bread for the feast I’m attending and I’m torn between rolls or this recipe. ( @ Brown Eyed Baker ) http://www.macheesmo.com/

Homemade Tater Tots | Serious Eats : Recipes

To freeze the Tots, follow the recipe through step 3. In step 4, remove them from the fryer after 1 1/2 minutes and drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Transfer to a sheet tray or large plate in a single layer and place in freezer for at least 1 hour. Transfer the frozen tots to a zipper-lock freezer bag and store for up to 3 months. Be careful not to overprocess potatoes or they will become sticky and gummy. If a few large chunks of potatoes remain, break them up with your fingers in the bowl.
Gupta Burger with Walnut Garlic Paste, Sour Plum Sauce and Cheese Stuffed Bread I admit, I am just as susceptible to stereotyping as the next person, when I started researching Georgia, I figured I’d be making some very hearty burger with cabbage, potatoes, beets – lots of earthy flavors. I hadn’t really placed Georgia in my head geographically, I was just lumping it into a large category of “former Soviet” states. Of course I was wrong, and the result is the most interesting and surprisingly yummy burger yet. Georgia is located on the Black Sea and is bordered by Russia, Turkey, Armenia and Azerbaijan. Think about the diversity of flavors those four countries represent and you get some sense of what goes on in Georgian cuisine. http://burgershereandthere.com/

IDEAS IN FOOD

http://www.foodcartsportland.com/ Q19, the newest pod in NW Portland continues to evolve with a few carts leaving, but new ones taking their place. With the sun shining, every cart had a line the other day including the newest arrival, El Diablito Tortas. El Diablito Tortas creates Mexican sandwiches that will make your mouth water. When I first heard of a cart offering “twisted Mexican sandwiches,” I didn’t know what to think, but then seeing the first on the menu, the Diablito with pork in chipotle sauce, refried beans, tomato, romaine, chipotle cream salsa and avocado with steak fries atop, I was sold.

Apr 17, 2012 Posted by Judd Rench Wow! It has been way too long between blog entries. My web people would be very disappointed. It’s a double edged sword that with so much really amazing stuff happening with Bula Kava House there are so many things deserving of blog posts, but much less time to do them. I’ll go ahead now and do my best to cover some of the news worthy events over the last couple months. A couple months ago our... read more

Fresh Off the Boat

The Times can't be stopped. I loved this article by Julia Moskin and the subsequent response . Basically, she recounts her personal experience as a ghost writer and chefs are mad. Batali's people responded saying he authored his books and I wouldn't dispute that. Homie is a real chef as evidenced by his restaurants, but I'd much rather see Batali throwing bombs at Investment Bankers as opposed to co-signing Gwyneth Paltrow's bull shit career in food.

This one is personal. Four years, five months and 19 days ago, I was bested by this quiche and as noted by the detailed date count, I may not be over it. Worse, it wasn’t even the quiche that bested me, but the crust. A flaky shell with even more fragility-enhancing butter than a standard pie dough, it was twice as big as a regular quiche shell, and then, instead of letting you press it into a shallow tart pan, it was draped inside the towering (okay, three-inch) walls of an open-hinged 9-inch springform ring.
