potato potato!!!

wanted something akin to potato chips for our chicken dinner but was weary of frying because first I was hungry and wanted something fast - frying takes soo much time and second I didn't want any more oil into our meal so I made these:

Hasselback Potato
Ingredients:
2 large potatoes
salt
pepper
butter

How to:
- slice washed potatoes across without going all the way through about a quarter of inch apart
- microwave potatoes on high for 15-20 minutes depending on your oven wattage or until fork tender
- smear with butter and season with salt and pepper
- bake a few minutes in a 375 degree oven until tops are nicely browned

 
 perfect with southern fried chicken!!!
You can bake it directly in the oven, seasoning between two or three intervals if you have time, but microwaving it saves time so you can get to your chicken dinner faster!

pudding new life to stale bread!

In this time where there can be shortage of food supplies, we can not afford for anything to go to waste - which is the norm in our household in any case. Today while checking out our ref I found 2 left over buns from last week's lunch. They were stale and hard but do not have any molds - I did not want to throw them out so I rummaged through the pantry for any other leftover stuff I could use to make bread pudding. I found a couple of merengue - I did not know of any recipe for bread pudding using merengue but what the heck, I will just throw it in there too instead of throwing it out... There was also a bit of pink sugar left from a previous baking project... I have some milk, eggs, a packet of raisin and nuts... PERFECT! lets make bread pudding shall we? Bread Pudding Ingredients: - about 2 cups left over bread - 1 cup milk - 1 egg - sugar to taste - toppings of choice (nuts, dried fruits, chocolate etc.) How to: - cut the bread into small pieces- in a ...

beefy buns

Nothing goes well with a big bowl of hot and hearty beef noodle soup than soft and fluffy steamed buns!  This dish reminds me of my childhood fascination of the vibrancy of a busy marketplace. During summer vacation, before going to work, my mom would take us to the market to buy our meals for the day and the corner noodle shop was often than not our main stop. We would order a couple of servings of beef noodles and steamed buns... I would often discreetly watch the people inside the shop - fascinated by the diversity of the patrons coming and going. There are families dinning out for a treat... couples maybe on a date... lone diners and working people like my mom dressed in office uniforms. Our take away package seems to come too quick for me to enjoy my time people watching and making my self dizzy going round and round on the bar stools. With a plop the server would hand us bulging bags full of hot soup and that would be the signal ending my market adventure as my mom wo...
