Cooking
For Christmas, my sister-in-law gave us the cookbook Noodle Fusion. Even a simple peruse showed promise; I picked the Ginger Noodles for the test run.
Red onion and ginger and garlic, stir fried, added to soaked and drained noodles, mixed with a flavored sauce and mung bean sprouts, topped with scallions.
I show two photos of the noodles because, in addition to the book, my SIL also sent along two settings of these gorgeous bowls
and these plates. Which she made!
Aren't they beautiful? The pictures don't capture the color properly, but they wonderful.
To go with the noodles, I marinated a chicken breast in lots of lime juice, soy sauce, mirin, and lemongrass for several hours, then grilled it on the stove. According to Matt, very lime-y. In a non-Anglo way.
This month, we're keeping things Black & White.
Our canapes, our drinks; everything in Black & White.
The party is Saturday, 20 January; please 'RSVP' by Thursday, 18 January, with your entries. (thehappysorceress at gmail dot com)

Hope to see you there!

Donegal and Wicklow hanging out with buddy bear in the guest room. Duke does his patented 'sad dog' routine for us. Fluffy, looking fluffy. Donegal and Doolin...two heads better than one? In their case, it can't hurt. See what all the...

New year, new theme. And keeping with January's theme, this post is just about the facts. This month, we're keeping things Black & White. Our canapes, our drinks; everything in Black & White. The party is Saturday, 20 January; please 'RSVP'...
- 14, Not Including Vietnam. They Never Declared It.
Once again...points if you can place that quote! Something new for me; Vietnamese food. Matt's a big fan of Southeast Asian cuisine, but I'm still a novice (and a bit reluctant). So, I decided to put together a whole meal, and see how it went....
