Recipe | Brie, Bacon & Chicken Sandwich
Posted on 20. Aug, 2009 by sheila.
They say you can always talk about the weather when chatting with strangers because it’s the one thing we all have in common. But you know what else is a great universal topic of conversation? Three things: bread, cheese and bacon. It would be useful for parties in situations where you’re talking to a stranger [...]

My red pepper has a parasitic twin!
Posted on 17. Aug, 2009 by sheila.
I found this little nubbin when I pulled out the center portion of the red bell pepper for our fajita dinner tonight. You would think it was kind of adorable because it’s like a mama pepper with a baby pepper inside. But it’s strangely the exact opposite. It’s just creepy and alien-like. The boyfriend proclaimed [...]

Recipe | Skillet Bacon Jam Fried Rice
Posted on 24. Jul, 2009 by sheila.
“The bacon jam is coming today, I know it! It should only take two days to arrive from Seattle. I thought I saw the mail truck in front of the building but there’s no package at the front door? Have you checked the mail? Did you see a note outside our mailbox?” I was like [...]

Recipe | Coconut Avocado Ice Cream
Posted on 19. Jul, 2009 by sheila.
When I first discovered guacamole at a young age, I was repulsed. Avocado mixed with tomatoes? And you scoop it up with tortilla chips? Ew. It’s not supposed to be salty. Growing up in the Philippines until I was 7-years-old, I only knew avocado as a sweet ingredient. It was a special treat when my [...]

Penguin or Grimace?
Posted on 16. Jul, 2009 by sheila.
On my visit to Trader Joe’s, I couldn’t resist picking up a bag of gummies shaped like penguins. I got lured in by the cute cartoon on the packaging with the cool blue color. Maybe it was some subconscious need to get away from the summer heat. They’re a little different from gummy bears because [...]

Recipe | Leftover egg yolks means Creme Brulee!
Posted on 08. Jul, 2009 by sheila.
Even though a dozen large eggs cost about $1.50, throwing more than four yolks down the sink makes me cringe with guilt. When I was making batches and batches of macaroons for Father’s Day, I was left with nine egg yolks. I looked at them as if they were little abandoned orphans who needed to [...]

Lindemans Pêche Lambic: a truly sweet beer
Posted on 01. Jul, 2009 by sheila.
I would like to conduct an experiment where I would invite a group of women for brunch who believe that drinking beer is “unladylike”. I would bring out a bottle of Lindemans Pêche Lambic, peel off its golden foil cover, flip off the bottle cap, unscrew the cork and let it make it a gentle [...]

Recipe | Chocolate Macaroons
Posted on 24. Jun, 2009 by sheila.
I think my dad and possibly five other people in the world might say that their favorite American candy bar is Hershey’s Mounds. Remember those dark chocolate-covered coconut bars? Surprisingly, they still exist. My dad will happily eat any coconut confection you give to him, unless you pour white chocolate all over it, which would [...]

Recipe | The Manly Steak Sandwich. Grr.
Posted on 18. Jun, 2009 by sheila.
Why is it a manly sandwich you ask? Only because I stumbled upon the recipe in Esquire magazine’s website flanked between a picture of some half-naked woman and Scarlett Johansson giving me a come hither look. Maybe it’s another one of those subliminal messages telling you that this sandwich will attract the ladies. You could [...]
