Photos and Thoughts of My Home Cooked Meals + some restaurant ones thrown in...: Dinner Last Night - Yakiniku (Japanese Style Korean BBQ)
http://myhomecookedmeals.blogspot.com/2011/05/dinner-last-night-yakiniku-japanese.html
Friday, May 13, 2011. Dinner Last Night - Yakiniku (Japanese Style Korean BBQ). This is another one of my favorite meals! I use the plate style short ribs and make cuts on each side, so that they will turn into a long strip. You can use the flanken style short rib, the type that has the little bones and is cut into a strip, but I like the plate style because you end up slicing it against the grain into small pieces after it's cooked, so it's more tender! Short Ribs in Marinade. I put sesame oil, salt and...

Thursday, October 27, 2011. Lamb Paillard w/Kasha, Arugula, and Tomatoes. We recently went to, Lucques. A neighborhood restaurant that we haven't gone to in a while. Chef Suzanne Goin has gotten quite famous since she first opened her restaurant in 1998. We dined at her very first Sunday Supper. Which featured Bunny and the best Tarte Tatin that I'd ever had! We ended up at Melisse. Cut Off the Bone. After cutting the meat off the bone, I accordion cut it like I do to make Korean Short Ribs. I didn't hav...

It's been over one year since I started blogging, but it's been over 5 months since I wrote my last post.lol I've said in my last few posts that I was getting burnt out blogging and needed to take a break. I think I took enough of a break now and ready to go back to blogging.let's cross our fingers! I actually made a check-list of all the food I wanted to eat for our last trip to Tokyo :o). You j...

Friday, July 15, 2011. My Version of Iron Chef Morimoto's Toro Tartare. We spent the 4th of July weekend in the San Francisco Bay Area and had the best time! It was mostly an eating fest which is quite normal for our vacations.lol One of the highlights was being able to go to Iron Chef Morimoto's restaurant in the Napa Valley. My favorite dish was the Toro Tartare and after having it there, I decided I wanted to try to make it at home. I succeeded :o). My post about M. Orimoto Napa and other restaurants.

Photos and Thoughts of My Home Cooked Meals + some restaurant ones thrown in...: Ground Beef & Chorizo Tacos + some huevos rancheros thrown in :o)
http://myhomecookedmeals.blogspot.com/2011/08/ground-beef-chorizo-tacos.html
Thursday, August 25, 2011. Ground Beef and Chorizo Tacos some huevos rancheros thrown in :o). As I was preparing this meal and writing this post I had a couple of thoughts in my head. The first one was that I was spending A LOT of time preparing this meal. At the over 2 hour mark I finally got tired of it and told Hubby I'd rather go out to eat and we should go out for Japanese/Sushi.lol His response was "Why? Seasoning for Ground Beef. I got this "bulk" Chorizo from Bristol Farms. I usually get the ...

Friday, October 14, 2011. Semi-Easy Chinese Roast Duck Lunch :o). Chinese Roast Duck Served Peking Style :o). I love Chinese Style Roast Duck, I wish that we could get real Peking Duck around here, but the way it's prepared is outlawed by the CA State Health Dept. At some restaurants you can get "Peking Duck" with a super crispy skin, but most places don't make a tasty one. Next best thing is to get a cooked roast duck from a Chinese market :o). Whole Cooked Roast Duck. Meat Cut Off the Bone. I steamed t...

http://myhomecookedmeals.blogspot.com/2011/05/dinner-last-nightdeconstructed-eggplant.html
Sunday, May 22, 2011. Dinner Last Night.Deconstructed Eggplant Parmesan. My version of Eggplant Parmesan. I really like Eggplant Parmesan, but I don't like the soggy messes that most restaurants serve, so I came up with my own version and I like to call it Deconstructed Eggplant Parmesan. I bread and deep fry the eggplant like I do with Japanese foods like Tonkatsu (Pork Cutlet) and use Panko (Japanese bread crumbs). I then put the eggplant on top of spaghetti with some cheese and tomato sauce. When we s...

Friday, December 2, 2011. Arroz con Pollo w/ Peruano Beans. I give kudos to my blogger friends that keep up with their daily to several times a week posts! I'm also sorry that I haven't kept up with reading all the fabulous blogs out there too :o(. I just wanted to make sure that blogging stays fun for me and remember that the posts and photos don't need to be perfect, just entertaining. It's so aggravating to get rejected by Foodgawker. In Santa Monica, CA, serves it very brothy. I think that they c...
