But you could easily make it vegetarian. I do this a lot–take vegetarian recipes for inspiration and then make them not vegetarian (in “supporting cast” ways–like chicken stock and lard). Not usually Indian recipes, but recipes that are vegetarian interpretations of recipes from meat-eating cultures. I mean, I have lard, I personally think it is…
Southwestern Cheese & Summer Squash Soup
I recently learned what the macro button was for on my camera (thanks, Mom!). Many of you are snickering, especially if you have a food blog. The thing is, I started this blog for a few reasons, none of which had anything to do with my amazing photography skills. I love to write and…
Thai Sweet Hot Garlic Sauce (Nahm Jeem Gratien) in Stir Fry
Thai Sweet Hot Garlic Sauce is very easy and lasts forever in the fridge. It is a necessity for spring rolls, and delicious on grilled chicken, pad Thai, fried rice, and a host of other dishes as well. My house is never without it! This recipe was first posted in April 2008–before I had even…

Such was the case this week with my mother in law visiting. As I mentioned earlier, my in-laws like Asian food—enough so that they are…
The Taste of Home: Butternut Squash Soup & Homemade Bread
Nothing quite tastes like home to me as much as homemade bread and soup. When I was young and I was sick, Mom always hauled out the Beef and Vegetable Soup—either she got it from the freezer or she made it fresh—and made homemade bread. To this day I desperately crave broth in particular…
