Mangalore Fried Shrimp
This meal arose from fenugreek greens, or, more precisely, my never-ending joy at ending up near(ish) a grocery store like Jungle Jim’s, where one can easily and regularly find fresh fenugreek greens. Because they are there, I feel compelled to continue trying them in Indian dishes, despite my admitted lukewarm feelings toward cooked greens. And…
Balsamic Glazed Orange Roughy with White Wine Braised Mustard Greens
No one in my family is sick. This may not seem like an earth shattering revelation, but it is for me. We can GO places, you know? The grocery store (check), the local ice cream shop (check), the ohmigosh it is 60 degrees and sunny out park (check), playdates (check), ballet practice (check), swimming lessons–oh…
Scallops and Shrimp Poached in Chu Chee Curry
For several months now I have quietly, wait, no, not quietly, quite vocally in fact, lusted after the Preethi Wet/Dry Grinder Mixie. It was at the top of my wish list, bolded and astricked, it was mentioned casually to my parents and not so casually to my husband. Come Christmas or Christmas money spending after…
Roasted Sea Scallops (Shrimp) Galician (Mexican) Style
The first night this dish was comprised of 2 dishes, one shrimp and one scallops, both roasted in the Galician style. The second night, I mixed them, having realized I really liked the shrimp, and roasted them with Mexican flavors. And actually, were I to do it again, I would skip the scallops entirely (I…
Miso Glazed Cod
I’ve been waiting to make Miso Glazed Cod ever since reading about it on my sister’s blog. However, I was a little overwhelmed by purchasing miso in the grocery store. I know how that sounds, given some of the ingredients you see regularly on this blog, but I am intimidated when I first start using…
Family Recipes: Mary Jones’ Shrimp Dish
As everyone knows by now, I was in Chicago recently to see U2 and generally have fun. While I was gone, my in-laws came to help with the kids. I suggested that while I was gone they make one of John’s favorite dishes growing up, Mary Jones’ Shrimp Dish (OK I made that up–to my…
Grilled Vietnamese Marinated Halibut
I’ve had trouble writing this post. Not just because I have not cooked a lot in the last 2 weeks–I have not–but also it just seems somehow to really shut the door on my U2 adventure. I want that picture of Bono to be the first thing I see when I open my blog! But…
The Power Of Garnishes: Sopa Tarasca (Tarascan Soup)
There are 6 “flavors”–well actually I think the Japanese and potentially other cultures say there are more–but there are 6 that I can discern: sour, salty, sweet, bitter, hot and umami/savory. Hot is not really a flavor to me, despite what I just said. Umami is kind of nebulous–I know that I like it but…
