Mama-ghetti: February 2009
http://mama-ghetti.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
An Amateur Cook's Culinary Adventures. Saturday, February 14, 2009. I thought that after I got the Seigen restaurant review off of my chest I would give you the first recipe in the "Cats-up" series. But here I am, sidetracked yet again. This week I received the following request from my childhood friend Michele: "I need ne. W inspirations for chicken dishes and asian noo. Dle dishes that aren't ramen.". Ingredients: (This recipe makes at least 50 pot stickers, probably more). 1-1/4 lb. ground turkey.

Mama-ghetti: Seigen: Kyoto, Japan
http://mama-ghetti.blogspot.com/2009/02/seigen-kyoto-japan.html
An Amateur Cook's Culinary Adventures. Monday, February 9, 2009. Seigen: Kyoto, Japan. There's a tiny restaurant in Kyoto that I keep meaning to tell you about. It's called Seigen, and it's an authentic washoku. Makes me think of the scene in Disney's Ratatouille. When Remy the rat eats the cooked mushroom with the cheese for the first time. Each flavor has its own shimmering note and color. That's what the food was like at Seigen. We enjoyed an exquisite seven-course meal (I forgot to take a photo o...

Mama-ghetti: March 2009
http://mama-ghetti.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
An Amateur Cook's Culinary Adventures. Monday, March 30, 2009. Sushi Says I'm Sorry. I apologize. It's been too long since my last post. I assure you that I've been cooking (and eating! I just haven't been taking very many pictures or setting aside the time to write. But just to prove to you that I've been busy in the kitchen, I'm posting pictures of some futomaki sushi that I made a couple of weeks ago:. 3) A work in progress. Last, I think I need a sharper knife, because slicing the sushi without smush...

Mama-ghetti: "Cats-up!"
http://mama-ghetti.blogspot.com/2009/01/cats-up.html
An Amateur Cook's Culinary Adventures. Friday, January 30, 2009. My dear friend Julia's father tells a story about ketchup (catsup) and how it's made. It goes like this: "When making catsup, you have to put all of the tomatoes, spices and other ingredients into a large pot to simmer. Then you add several cats to the pot- yes, cats. When the cats float to the top, you say, 'CATS-UP! That's how you can tell when the catsup is ready.". Thank you to Julia and her dad for the funny story and to "A Cat a Day".

Mama-ghetti: December 2008
http://mama-ghetti.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
An Amateur Cook's Culinary Adventures. Monday, December 15, 2008. Last night I returned from a weekend trip to Las Vegas. I'm exhausted. I have huge puffy circles under my eyes. My ears still ring with the jingling of slot machines. My hair smells like cigarette smoke and no matter how much I scrub, I can't seem to get the ink from the nightclub stamp off of my wrist. Almost too big to finish . . . but we finished them anyway. Here's what I ordered. Smoked Chicken Black Bean Quesadilla. With pear-apple c...
