Carne Asada From Scratch
Oh boy! I’ve been waiting (who knows why) to make this for a long time. Without further ado; carne asada. I ended up doing a ton of research before making this dish. I wanted a reasonably authentic taste (Safeway-brand taco seasoning? No thanks), and it is surprisingly hard to find authentic Mexican recipes. I synthesized about 5 recipes to get the ingredient list I have here. Carne Asada (literally translated “roasted meat”) is a very popular dish in Northern Mexico (and in the Southwestern USA). Carne Asada is synonymous with a social BBQ here in the USA. Check out the Wikipedia entry for it here. Ingredients: 1/2 bunch fresh cilantro (chopped, remove large stems) 1 Tbsp. freshly ground black pepper 1 1/2 Tbsp. sea salt 1 Tbsp. Cumin 1 Tbsp....

Phanaeng (Panang) Curry with Chicken
I love the way a recipe can get passed a long, it leads to foods sweeping an entire region (sometimes an entire country) in the blink of an eye. This recipe came to my by way of my little sister, Hannah. Phanaeng curry originates from the Phanaeng Islands which are part of Malaysia. I won’t be posting the recipe here, you’ll have to click the link above and visit Hannah’s blog to find it. When Hannah passed the recipe on to me, she recommend Aroy D curry paste and canned coconut milk of the same brand. My Thoughts: This was a great dish, and my first attempt at making my own Thai food (which I love to eat). I think that I could clean up my methods, now that I know how to make it, and end up with something a little more refined. Overall I loved...
Pizza Margherita
Once in a while I have a good idea. This pizza was definitely a golden moment for me. When I was younger my family travelled abroad and I ordered this pizza in a lot of different countries. Rarely have I seen it in the United States. I know California Pizza Kitchen makes a Margherita pizza, but its not on the menu a lot of places I would expect to find it. Pizza Margherita has a pretty illustrious history, as far as pizzas go. In 1889, Queen Margherita was taking a tour of the Italian Kingdom with her husband Umberto I, and she noticed the people eating a large flat bread with toppings. The curious queen ordered her guards to bring her a pizza. She loved it, and caused quite a stir in the court by going out to eat it amongst the peasants. To resolve the issue of...
From Scratch: Fettucini Marinara
I hate canned food. It is all well and good when you’re on a boat at sea for 28 days, at that point canned food is even good, but day-to-day it sucks. I love to make pasta with tomato sauce, but I always bought canned tomatos in order to make it. That changed today! I took four pounds of fresh tomatos and blanched, de-seeded, sliced, diced, and reduced them into a delicious red sauce. While I was waiting for the tomato sauce to simmer down, I decided to try my hand at making a simple pasta. I may put the recipe up later, if people are interested. Here are some pictures: I am excited to try my hand at more...
