Fried Rice, Revisited

August 1, 2012 Leave a Comment

If you ask me on any given day what Dan and I had for dinner the night before, the answer will probably be “fried rice.” It’s not that we’re fried rice fanatics…it’s just that the stuff is so easy to make, so delicious, and so versatile. You can cook it with any ingredients you want, any…read more »

Baked Chicken Roll-Ups with Light Mushroom Cream Sauce

So Dan has abandoned me for the snowy slopes of Tahoe this weekend. Yeah. Weather’s finally getting really awesome in Virginia and the guy voluntarily leaves all this warmth and sunshine for a place buried under six feet of snow. [Shakes head] Dan’s idea of fun may be rolling around in a big pile of snow,…read more »

The holidays are all about spending time with friends and family, and that means that means one thing — tons of dinner parties with guests galore. And, of course, feasting. My parents always throw two parties this time of year; one on Christmas Eve, another on Christmas itself. Each day, they get up at 7am…read more »

Sugared Cranberries

So, Dan and I flew up to Massachusetts last week to spend Thanksgiving with his family. It was…super stressful. Not because of the family time — Dan’s family is awesome, and I love hanging out with them. No, the trip was stressful because of the traveling. Man, I hate traveling. Our flight was at 10:30am on…read more »

Crock Pot Chili

November 29, 2011 12 Comments

Hello, all! Hope your Thanksgiving was as fun-, food-, and family-filled as ours. Well, maybe not quite as much “fun” — I certainly hope nobody else was stuck at the airport for 9 hours on Turkey Day. But that’s a story for another day. Today I want to talk to you guys about Crock Pot Chili…read more »

Chicken with Forty Cloves of Garlic

Dan and I have a friend visiting from Hawaii this week, and he came over for dinner today. Originally, we were supposed to go out to eat but, (1) the weather stinks, (2) we’ve spent way too much money on restaurants lately, and (3) I stumbled across this recipe in my Gmail recipe archive and…read more »

Happy Lunar New Year, everyone! All last week I had grand plans to make jiao zi (dumplings) and dou sha bao (steamed buns with red bean paste) and other Chinese goodies, but somehow I never got around to it. Fortunately, the New Year is supposed to be celebrated for 15 days, so I’ve still got…read more »

Shrimp & Grits

June 7, 2010 1 Comment

In an effort to make post-graduation-bar-exam-studying less painful, my friends and I have decided to start a dinner club and take turns hosting potluck dinners once a week. We call it the “Summer Supper Club,” and each dinner will have a different theme. Today’s inaugural dinner theme: Southern Comfort. So we feasted on pulled pork…read more »
