come & get summore

tuesday pm:
recipe: sukiyaki
source: the japanese kitchen. this book is my holy grail as a starting point for authentic japanese recipes. works best when paired with consultations via email with my grandma.
notes: comfort food! and the leftovers aren't bad either. it feels so good to eat things that are so tasty and good for you.

thursday pm:
recipe: black bean and tortilla pie
source: everyday food. again.
notes: beans and corn and onions stewed with beer. cheesy! toasty! layered goodness! with a side of grilled chicken chorizo (thanks whole foods!) and some chopped avocados and tomatoes and tapatillo. easy peasy.

on my to-do list: this spicy fig orange microwave jam recipe. mary already tried it and says it's delish.

mealtimes is goodtimes.

sunday pm:
recipe: coconut shrimp soup
source: everyday foods
notes: this recipe is hecka easy, tasty, and forgiving (i didn't have any limes. dripped a bit of vinegar in it for acidity, and garnished with red pepper flakes, and flat leaf parsley and shiso instead of scallions). i love this book. it's everything you want a cookbook to be--inspiring, accessible, pictures of EVERY recipe, and nutrition information. bam. in-yo-face. and i've gifted it to many friends who are as pumped about it as i am.

monday pm:
recipe: sesame chicken wings
source: williams-sonoma web site
notes: nothing too special about this one. doctored it with some honey and red pepper flakes, forgot about the ginger, and it turned out fine. our friends were happy with it and the whole plate got gobbled. not my first choice for chicken wings but it went well with the cold somen noodles.
recipe: grilled peaches with sweetened sour cream
source: everyday foods
notes: grilled up the peaches nutter (mr. butter) brought over. the six of us ate from one platter, tore it apart family-style. no complaints.
