Food Porn: Bento Box

Monday, February 27th, 2006

We picked up some sushi (Philly roll and California crab roll), inari, and veggie dumplings at Whole Foods yesterday, and arranged it in a bento box along with Vietnamese egg rolls from Mark Pi’s Expess. Instant snack. Yum.

 

Review: Spain Restaurant

Sunday, February 26th, 2006

Spain Restaurant is beyond compare for lunch. With several filling lunch specials at $6.95 each, it’s a great value. Given that fact, and given the fact that we had been to this restaurant for dinner before and been very pleased, we decided to head out on Saturday night after we heard that they had added […]

Food Porn: Fusilli with Smoked Mozzarella and Bacon

Wednesday, February 15th, 2006

I’m a little late posting this one - this was dinner on Monday night. It was quite tasty - the sauce is really simple, just shallots and tomato puree, a little olive oil, toss some fusilli with cubed smoked mozzarella (about 6 oz. to a pound of pasta) and about an equal amount of lardons […]

Food Porn: Grand Marnier Crepes

Wednesday, February 15th, 2006

Valentine’s Day porn. The rest of the dinner was a culinary abortion (I told hubby next year to either let me cook or stick to something he does well rather than something ambitious), but this dessert more than made up for it — Crepes filled with Freshly Whipped Cream and topped with Grand Marnier mascerated […]

Food Porn: Ham and Swiss over Combos

Wednesday, February 15th, 2006

In the mood for a sandwich, I threw together a Ham and Swiss panini with Guggisberg baby swiss and Virginia ham, and served it on a bed of Pizzeria Combos.

 

Food Porn: South of the Border

Wednesday, February 8th, 2006

Tonight’s dinner was Roasted Poblano and Bell Pepper Chicken Tacos, Southwestern Rice, and Fried Plantains. The picture came out a little dark, but it’s a good composite of what I had for dinner. Not bad at all, maybe I’ll make it again. Fried plantains go well with pretty much everything.

 

Food Porn: Veggie Lasagna

Tuesday, February 7th, 2006

Yummy veggie lasagna for dinner tonight. It tasted much better than it looks in this picture - hard to believe it’s a “light” recipe. Served it with 5 Can Soup (OK, but bland - won’t ever make it again), salad and Pillsbury Garlic & Herb breadsticks.

Funny, the minute I stop having anxiety attacks about everything […]

Food Porn: Hungarian Goulash and Caramelized Carrots

Monday, February 6th, 2006

Dinner tonight was one of my favorite comfort foods: Hungarian goulash. This recipe is very similar to the one my great grandmother made for me many years ago, and it’s definitely one I’ll keep and pass along to other family members. I’ll need to remember to update this entry later with the recipes. (ETA: Here’s […]
