Curry, Starring Dirt Cheap Fish

So lets talk about dirt cheap fish, here. See, I can appreciate all ranges of fishes. On one end of the range, I have a huge affinity for tuna, barely seared with soy and wasabi involved, preferably. And on the other end, well, I also have a huge affinity for tuna. Albeit, from a can, [...]

Purple Rice and Fruity Fishes

Awhile back, I got some black glutinous rice on a whim. Apparently it’s intended use is mostly things like Thai desserts. However, I found it a quite exciting alternative to regular rice when I needed a starchy accompaniment to assorted meats and/or fakemeats, plus vegetables.
So here’s something fun to do: Make whatever rice you ordinarily [...]

Curry Rice

There seems to be a prevailing theory that, in order to eat well in this country, you have to have a load of money to spend on groceries. I, respectfully, believe this to be a load of bull. This theory leaves out the important phrase ‘with minimal effort’. Indeed, a nausea-inducing Banquet frozen meal will [...]

A year later, I finally get around [...]

Mango with Sweet Rice

Yeah, so I had the worst diarrhea ever recently. I blame this stuff, personally.

Mango and rice, seems harmless, eh? My bowels would disagree.
Luckily, it was rather an average creation, so it wasn’t too painful to trash the rest of it. My mistake was merging a bunch of different recipes together into the form that seems [...]

Rice concoction

So I totally didn’t make this one:

This is something that Drew came up with a little while back, inspired by a vaguely similar dish eaten at a Lebanese food festival. The essential ingredients are rice, red pasta sauce, and green beans, seasoned with garlic, salt and pepper. Delightful add-ons include cheese (this particular instance uses [...]
