CSHL Feeds Me; I Can Feed Myself

Saturday, August 30th, 2008

CSHL. So, lucky me, I got to wake up at 6:07 (it's a prime number) on Thursday and stroll on over to the LIRR station. It was a quiet walk, but the icy dew on the grass soaked through my Nikes and eventually stained my socks. Time to bring them home ...

Catching Up

Thursday, May 10th, 2007

If sitting and studying for endless hours were a sport, I'd be a potential Olympic favorite. Right before finals week, I had two exams, two weeks apart. Lucky me, that means studying nearly every moment possible for the last 3.5-4 weeks.If I really had to, I would sit on a ...

Dad is crazy about the brand-new 12" bamboo steamers we recently bought.So the next day (today,) he went food shopping with Mom and they bought these: Chef Kong's Siu Long Bao (Xiao Long Bao.) These XLBs were okay. The shape was nearly perfect, but the dough was too thick. It ...

Sunday, September 24th, 2006

No Mo’ Oats

Saturday, September 23rd, 2006

It's Saturday morning. And I was hungry since sleeping and falling asleep last night. But I didn't want oatmeal as I usually have on a weekend.I had a banana. And toasted bread with sliced mozzarella. Then I succumbed to the banterings of my inner child and had me some Cinnamon Toast ...

Looney for Luna Bars

Saturday, September 23rd, 2006

Thanks to free samples of whole Luna Sunrise Bars (oh and a Stonyfield smoothie...bless Union Square and early Wednesday mornings,) I am not a great big fan of Luna Bars. Well, the sunrise ones anyway.While I'm usually extremely skeptical about granola bars and power bars, these were actually okay. For ...

Egg Poaching: Green Eggs and…Turkey

Friday, August 25th, 2006

It must have been at least a year or more since I last poached an egg. I remember the eggs being rather flattened out and not cooked as much as I would have liked. At some point, I took a semi poached egg, broke it open over rice or ramen ...
