It was ragged, beaten down and was practically obliterated by termites. The woman who owned the house before us lived here for over 40 years and never did a single update. I want you to imagine that -- original wall paper and carpet, stove tops and ovens from back in the 70s, we even found a hoover vacuum cleaner back from the the 60s, and not to mention that the doors and walls had deeply yellowed with age.

It was just plain awful. But together we saw something in this house: potential. In many ways this house has become representative of my personal struggles these past couple of years. We completed the very last project, the deck earlier this week and we couldn't contain our excitement and wanted to put it to use right away. Indeed we do my love, indeed we do.

Usually when a Bob Marley song comes on I roll my eyes and try to gab about how played out this stuff is, and how they should listen to The Slits and Bad Brains and shut the eff up.

But after seeing me dance around like a 15 year old the other night, you might question my previous opposition. But thanks to Mark and Susan (same people who gave me the green cheese from Amsterdam!)

Spicy Asian-Style Hot Wings It’s that time of year again, in which I cover Super Bowl food.

Eatingwelllivingthin.wordpress. Food You Can Make in a Coffee Maker. Like so many before me, I was once hungry in college. With term papers looming and the dining hall already closed for the night, food had to come from somewhere. That was the night I learned to make ramen in my coffee maker. At first I was nervous, pouring the hot water over noodles in my bowl, covering them, and letting it steep. Eventually, I became more adventurous: cooking the noodles in the carafe; putting the seasoning packet in the basket that normally holds the filter; adding an egg. This was cheap food prepared in as cheap a manner as possible. 1. Put two packets of instant oatmeal into the carafe.

A dead simple recipe, but with the twist of adding a tea bag for flavor. 2. Fill a coffee filter with six broccoli florets. Clever coffee maker cooks will find a way to whip up a cheese sauce to go with this. 3. Put 1/2 cup of instant rice per person in the coffee maker. Rice cookers are for squares. 4. Place the eggs in the coffee pot. 5. Place chicken breast in coffee maker. 6. 7. Frites & fries.

I was naturally drawn to these because of the bright, eye-catching swirl, not to mention the jumbo sprinkles-encrusted edges! If anything, these should be the SB mascot, because they are everything I love. Bright, happy, buttery and delicious. Also versatile! I spied these first here, (green-tea version) and then here (peppermint version). Another thing I love about these is that they are SLICE and BAKE. I won't go much into preparation here, because that's all in the recipe, but here are some pictures to give you an idea of the process.

Hervé This, France's most famous chemist - and inspiration to Heston Blumenthal - gives Ian Phillips the strangest cooking tips he's ever heard Hervé This is on a mission. 'By the time I die, I want cooking to have changed,' he says. In his native France, Hervé This (pronounced 'Tiss') is a star, the country's most famous chemist.

In this country, one of Hervé's biggest fans is Heston Blumenthal, with whom Hervé, 51, has worked on several experiments. His specialism is the science of cooking. Over the years, his musings on chemical reactions have led to a number of discoveries. Almost 10 years ago, Hervé investigated colloids (substances that are neither completely solid nor liquid, such as emulsions, mousses and gels) and devised a system of formulae based on the dispersion of gases, liquids and solids within each other. He then shows me several other experiments. Alcademics.com. Sushi Tutorial.

New Year’s Rituals – Tecolameco « The Cookie Shop. On New Year’s Eve, we Brazilians have tons of “mandingas”, or little good luck rituals you have to do at midnight SHARP. If you are at the beach, you should jump over seven ocean waves. If you are indoors, you should eat 12 grapes, and make a wish for each of them, or eat seven pomegranate berries, and keep the seeds in your wallet for the year. Then, you must eat a fullspoon of lentil, for money, and you can NEVER eat animals like chicken, or turkey, cause they scratch the soil backwards (bad luck) – fish is much better, because, you know, they swim straight ahead always.

And you MUST wear brand new underwear, and choose the color accordingly – white for peace, red for love, yellow for money, and the other colors have meanings too, but I can’t recall of them all – my bad. In that spirit, I decided to make a very rich and delicious dessert for our New Year’s Eve dinner, because I really wanna have a rich and delicious 2010.

Food Blogs. Recipe Index. Dalloyau Opera cake. Dalloyau Opera cake, original watercolor, 9" x 12" It's "Chocolate Friday" and we shall discuss the classic Opera Cake or gateau.. Dalloyau has happily taken on the mantle of ownership of the multi-layered CHOCOLATE Opera Gateau. I just happened to by passing the Bastille Dalloyau. And in the name of research bla bla bla, all for your benefit bien sur, I felt I must taste Dalloyau's, considered by pastry chefs in the know to be the best. They do have lovely tea salons at each of their shops, so why not? Firstly you must see the Opera Garnier, namesake of the famous Opera Cake. And it just so happens that Dalloyau was celebrating the 100th anniversary of this cake and making a great to-do over it... Et Voila! They've also got a pink or raspberry version called,"OPERA ROCK" For those of us with smaller appetites, an entrement or side dish in 3 versions.

A look inside... A closeup of THE OPERA CAKE! So I indulged and ordered the two of them. And an entrement of my own - Operation Street Food – Day 1 (Food Safety) Preparing my lunch My first day of street food went surprisingly well. I focused on grilled meat products because….well…it was easy to order. Here is how the day broke down:Breakfast – 3 pieces of chicken satay. 15 baht (US$0.45)Lunch – 3 grilled chicken wings and chopped grilled pork. 40 baht ($1.21)Dinner – Chicken with rice, soup and a mango/sticky rice desert and a sprite. 140 bhat ($4.24) The first thing that should jump out at you is that street food is REALLY cheap.

I’m sure if I could speak Thai, could hunt around for deals and haggle, I might be able to pay less. For less than the cost of a Big Mac value meal, you can eat for a day if you stick to the streets. My dinner The second thing that should jump out at you is that I mostly ate meat. I’m not a foodie and really don’t know too much about Thai food. Dessert: Mango with sticky rice Street food is about as dangerous as a backyard BBQ. If you find yourself in Bangkok, for goodness sake eat some food on the street. Mi Kitchen. Battenkill Kitchen Inc. at the Historic Salem Courthouse Community Center, Salem NY. Ice Cream Ireland » Other Desserts. I like to think I’m quite adventuresome in the kitchen. However, with certain foods I’m an absolute traditionalist, and tiramisù is one of them. Italian for “pick me up” or “pull me up,” there are some who say the dessert originated in Sienna and others who claim it’s a relatively recent invention from Treviso, near Venice.

In any case, it’s the one dessert that so regularly disappoints me at restaurants that I have stopped ordering it unless I am absolutely certain they will do it right. For me, tiramisù must have mascarpone, and it must have egg yolks (unlike Gordon Ramsey’s and Jamie Oliver’s versions – although from a catering standpoint I can understand why they don’t want the risks associated with raw eggs). I don’t want it with orange flavouring or variations of the alcohol (Marsala wine). I guess you could say I want my tiramisù the way my grandmother used to serve it up at her house in the Ticino.
