Refreshing Salads and Sandwiches

So in the interest of it being hot and summer and all, I will now post about seasonally-appropriate foodstuffs. Mmm…foodstuffs. First off, we have a delightful salad concoction that I first tried at Drew’s cousin Amanda’s birthday party not too long ago. As it has no name that I am aware of, I shall (for [...]

How to make leftover fried rice into a giant pile of fabulous

Leftover Chinese fried rice is generally not all it’s cracked up to be. First off, it doesn’t help that fresh fried rice, when made properly, is made from day-old rice anyhow. Secondly, things can be even worse if the fried rice wasn’t full of tons of fabulous ingredients from the start. There are far too [...]

Miniature Burgers of Joy

Saves ink for advertisements and such, I bet. In any case, at some point I, too, became lazy and caved to the will of [...]

Mexican and Pho!

I have been exceedingly bad about posting lately. I’ve had a case of the Mondays for a little over a week now, I suppose. Well, no more! Lots of exciting food has passed my way recently, most of which I ate while not having a camera on the near vicinity, alas. Here’s a rundown: I [...]
