First attempt at sourdough bread + waffles made using starter
Tough and chewy but it tastes great! Also (not pictured) made waffles this morning with some starter, which was yummy.
Fresh oatmeal raisin cookies make shelter in place a little easier…
But it turns out that you have to set a timer for ALL the batches not just the first two!
Simple Party Cookies
It’s holiday baking season! Whether you celebrate Christmas or not, it’s always a fun time to make cookies. Here’s my childhood favorite recipe, called “party cookies” but you might just call them “M&M Cookies” if you aren’t bothered about trademarks. I recently came across a cookbook produced by my 3rd grade class, and a copy of this recipe was my contribution. Whenever my mom or I were called upon to submit a recipe to a cookbook, this was our go-to. I don’t know where the recipe came from originally though. Party Cookies
Red Hill Station
Just discovered a new (to us anyway) amazing brunch place in SF. Red Hill Station! delicious!
One-Pot Portuguese(ish) Chicken and Rice
I went to Portugal last year (in 2017), and in Porto I stayed with a local family via AirBNB. One night when I was there we had a family dinner of chicken and rice. It was so tasty I’ve been wanting to reproduce it ever since. I texted the host to ask for the recipe when I got home, but he never replied. So the other day I decided I’d try to Google recipes on the Internet and make some.
Yellow Curry and Yellow Submarine
Lovely Thai food with Rosa and Yellow Submarine in restored 4k digital at the Castro Theatre in San Francisco. What a great evening!
Classic streetcar from Diner
Looking out through the front door of Orphan Andy’s at the Muni PCC streetcar. Time travel!
Pie a la mode for breakfast!
Nothing beats apple pie and ice cream for breakfast! Hope you had a great Thanksgiving if you celebrate it.
Chicken and veggie stirfry
I made a stirfry of red onion, artichoke hearts, heirloom tomatoes, basil, chicken breast, & spinach. Yum!
How to Freeze Rice
Sometimes you want to put together a quick meal and you want to eat rice with it, but you just don’t have the time for the rice cooker to do its job…. it can take the better part of an hour to cook brown rice, which as we all know is much better for you. So what do you do?
Rice Cooker Oatmeal
Just about every morning, I start my day with a bowl of hot oatmeal. Cooking oatmeal can be a hassle, especially when you’re half asleep, so I’ve come up with a system that makes it as easy as opening a box of dry cereal – cook it in a rice cooker.
