Ugly But Soooo Good: Lime Spiked Black Bean Dip

July 19, 2009 By Laura 9 Comments

I was of 2 minds about whether or not to post this dip because my goodness it took a bad picture. It was a pig roast dish and had no fancy plating like the brownies–plus I only got photos taken with leftovers. By which point I was not in very good shape for photography. But…

My Delayed But Intense Love Affair With Tom Ka Gai

June 29, 2009 By Laura 4 Comments

Tom Ka Gai (Thai Coconut Galangal Soup with Cilantro and Lime)

Tom Ka Gai (sometimes spelled Tom Kha Gai) is a delicious and fresh Thai coconut soup, flavored with galangal, cilantro and lime. I updated these photos in December 2016; they look a little different, because I let each person add their own nam prik pao, which means the photos were taken before it was added,…

Lime Cilantro Chicken With Tropical Fruit Salsa

June 3, 2009 By Laura 10 Comments

Josie is here visiting–which means lots of discussion of all things culinary but less time to type about it. The night she got here, I whipped up a tropical chicken dish that was hard to beat for ease with lots of flavor. The chicken itself was really simple–basically brown the meat and then braise it…

Tequila Lime Marinade for Tequila Lime Chicken Tacos

May 10, 2009 By Laura 9 Comments

I. Am. So. Tired. So this is gardening. I’ve had a vegetable garden before, but I had a lot of help and I certainly did not mulch it–and since I am so dumb that I mulched this darn garden by hand, the mulching was truly horrific (I have since purchased a hoe). And I am…

Soy Garlic Lime Coriander Marinated Flank Steak

March 20, 2009 By Laura 11 Comments

Any basketball fans in the house? Anyone appreciate the totally exciting significance of Michigan being back in the tournament after over 10 years? Suffice to say I am a little distracted these days. I was a VERY big basketball fan in my college days–but it has been hard to maintain enthusiasm the last decade or…

Lime & Thyme Blueberry Pound Cake

Blueberry Lemon Bundt Cake with Thyme

I got this great new bundt pan recently from Williams and Sonoma–a gift to myself with a credit card rewards gift card. I am obsessed with this pan. It is the Heritage bundt pan and strangely enough it is the first 10 inch (12 cups) bundt pan I have owned. Obviously anyone who reads this…

Photo-Less Blogging: Chicken With Rice & Beans & A Citrus Sauce

November 10, 2008 By Laura 5 Comments

Thanks to my sister in law’s sister (Hi Chrissy!), my computer is on its way to Columbus to be looked at.  Sadly, that means I will be without for a while.  I couldn’t bear the thought of not posting at all, but it will be a little less frequent and without photos for the time…

Yam Neua (Thai Grilled Beef Salad)

November 4, 2008 By Laura 5 Comments

Happy Election Day! I hope you all got out and voted for your candidate of choice. If you live in the northern U.S., welcome to Daylight Savings and short days and long nights. It is now officially quite dark before I get dinner on the table–I am hoping to either get a photo box for…

Curried Citrus Lentil Soup

October 27, 2008 By Laura 5 Comments

I have been craving sopa de lima like you would not believe. Made with loads of lime juice in a chicken stock, that sour soup just sounded like the perfect antidote to my recent overload of heavy fall food. I was resisting however, not because the soup is not amazing, but because I was wanting…

Hi! I’m Laura and I am a recovering history major who has re-channeled all of my passion for learning about the history of different countries to learning about their food culture. That doesn’t mean every dish on here is strictly authentic, but it does mean that even my adaptations are not undertaken lightly. My goal is to show you–by doing–that these dishes are possible in your kitchen. Including desserts because I have quite the sweet tooth! Read More…
