Céad míle fáilte! This means "A hundred thousand welcomes!" in Irish Gaelic. This is but a simple log of my cooking attempts and other random things, but feel free to look around. Sláinte! (Cheers!)
Here is the tri-tip making another appearance, this time alongside more plum stuffing. The stuffing's a different batch from before... I didn't throw in as many plums as last time, and there's BBQ sauce in this batch rather than the chicken meat/stock. Yay for hearty food. Where are the veggies? Oh well there's vitamin C and fiber from the plums.
Tri-tip was on sale for $1.88/lb, or something like that. I bought a couple slabs. I forgot that they distinguish between trimmed and untrimmed, so the ones on sale were untrimmed and super fatty. Oh well. Here's the tri-tip in BBQ sauce (compliments of the slow cooker) with some sparse veggies.
Another craving... those Taiwanese "mee-swah" noodles with eggs. I think traditionally, these noodles are eaten with pork hocks in soup during one's birthday. Also, I've seen these noodles mixed with oysters in a dry dish. I prefer it this way, with eggs!
Luckily, I didn't get food adversions to fruit. One of my sudden favorites became gold kiwi. Check out the difference in size between these little guys. The one on the left is from Ranch 99 and was super cute, like a huge egg. The little dinky one is from Ralphs. These are sooo good! I wonder if they taste any better in New Zealand... probably.
Got a huge craving for stuffing, of all things, so bought a box of it and tossed it into this concoction of plums and chicken breasts. It turned out pretty interesting but a bit tart. By the way this marks the beginning of my usage of the new camera (stupid Nikon one broke barely a year after I bought it... just long enough for the warranty to not be valid). Now I have this Canon one that I got from an Amazon gold box deal (thanks Frank for the heads up). Hopefully it lasts... I don't see a "food" setting but hopefully the pics all turn out okay...
