Dried Indian Curry Spices I must admit, it’s been over three years since my last post. What happened? A lot of life… Through all the updates and downs, one thing has not changed, my love of food! And so, I’m back with another food adventure! My husband surprised me with a cooking class offered by…

So my husband turned to me and said, “I crave Indian food”. I immediately whipped out my phone. After looking around on Google Maps, I noticed an Indian Restaurant called Curry Kitchen with a 4.8 star rating. Huh, I thought, let’s go try it out! As soon as we walked in I had a good…

I have so many wonderful childhood memories of warm summer days spent reeling in fish from the local lakes and mom making the most delicious dinner from the fish I caught. Now that we live close to some large lakes again, it’s time to get back to my childhood hobby! For my birthday, my husband…

For Mother’s day, we went all out and got mom king crab legs from Costco. Surprisingly, we ended up with a decent amount of left over crab. What to do? It’s been some time since I’ve made crab bisque and of course my husband couldn’t agree more. Only one problem, I went too cream heavy….

Easter this year was a bit of a disaster. Sick contagious child, no family gatherings, no sleep; end of story. By Monday, our child was still sick but recovering and we were faced with a mountain of leftover Easter chocolates. What to do? In the late afternoon, exhausted with both work and cranky child, a…

Not my cooking! But, I wanted to make note of this culinary masterpiece. It’s not just curry, it’s Duck Curry and from none other than Austin’s very own, Sip Saam! My husband and I have probably eaten at this place well over 50 times. It’s our rainy day pick-me-up, our happy food place, our take…

My husband makes wonderful macarons. He sometimes makes them just for fun. One time, he had made too much batter and decided to add little cat ears to the macarons. I wanted to fill them with some lemon cream custard but, I was very careless and put the egg yolks in while the sugar mixture…

I love love love making pies. I find pie making a great stress relief. There are so many ways to create a pie and I’m not just talking about the fillings, even a simple crust can come in a variety of flavors. For every successful pie, I would argue that the crust is a key…

There they were, the most beautiful marbled flanken style short ribs (galbi) just staring at me from the cold case. Without thinking or looking at the price, I grabbed them and walked on. It wasn’t until I got to the register, and $28.95 flashed on the display, that it hit me… My goodness they were…

Cooking, in my opinion, is about as close to magic as a person can ever experience; the resulting flavor, if carefully crafted, usually comes out far better than any single ingredient can ever produce on their own. I’m very bad at following recipes. In fact, I don’t think I’ve ever followed a cooking recipe from…
