I've been trying to make a darn layout but the thoughts/ideas and photos just didn't click! I know how you feel about no time. The best ideas always DO come when you can't sit down and code XD 2008 was a crazy blur!! I can't believe I lived in four different places now that I think about it...crazy year.

Hai! Between the toast & eggs :D This is actually my boyfriend's plate...I like my eggs scrambled and my plate was uber messy...hahaha!

Oh no! I suppose you can try to find some easy recipes :D like a 5-step max sort? Baking is usually simple in comparison to entree cooking. And you don't need any reason to whip up cookies and cakes XD

Sankyuu! I think everyone can cook. It's about following directions, tis all :D

Duuude, I haven't eaten much fast food since I moved out. It just not economical! What's worse is that there's a delicious pizza/bar two numbers up the street and we've been getting our fresh pies from there. THOUGH I am thoroughly appalled that they do NOT know what a TOMATO PIE IS! WTF?! Try the teriyaki. The method in itself is the basis of a LOT of stir-fry type foods and recipes. It actually cuts down cooking time!

Re: Trying to Blog More Often

Jenii — Tue, 27 Jan 2009 17:20:23 -0000

PRACTICEEE! I used to botch up recipes right at the last step all the time...but I kept at it. I'm getting better all the time!! PRACTICEE! Breakfast is always easy, most of the items are self-explanatory when it comes to cooking. The teriyaki is easy too. Especially with premade sauce :D

:D I stalk fooooood blogs. Pretty bad but pretty productive since they provide a lot of recipes too. OMG, I wish we lived close, totally up for a cupcake party :D You always have incredible baked things in your posts........*jealous*

Sankyuu sankyuu! You can totally do it! Start out simple and work your way up!! I know how you feel. It's weird but sometimes I feel like I post too much about nothing and then look at my archives and see that there are only 4 posts...I am retarded ;;==

Re: Happy (Belated) Chinese New Year!

Jenii — Fri, 30 Jan 2009 13:40:46 -0000

AA! SANKYUU!! I actually do feel better nowadays. Still...I don't know why my nose won't stop running. I think it might have something to do with the DRYDRYDRY CT air?!! We need a humidifier. And yes, we need some traditions. Our current "traditions" mostly consist of going out and eating...um yeah. Need something with a little more OOMPH and fun :D Not that eating isn't fun...just a like blase. We'll figure some things out. Definitely want Halloween in the mix, it's been neglected for the past two years x_x

I miss certain things like Thai soy sauce, a certain brand of wonton soup mix...little things that are USUALLY everywhere. Except CT. My mom's so funny about it, she says come by Philly like it's around the corner from CT XD Weirdo. I'll get over it and adjust. What DOES irk me though is the PRICES?!! WTF?! Everything costs like 25% more than what I'm used to. Like things I'd be able to find for $5 are $9?!!! (like kimchi & it's JARRED, not fresh!!!) It's a culture shock on the whole. What's funny is that I bought a frozen pack of "freshly made" rice cake (dduk) & Tomato read the label and it came from Philly...and a street I know too. Weird but strangely comforting to see something familiar :D

Sankyuu, I am on the verge of recovery. GYAHHHH! I can't imagine!! I JUST CAN'T!!! I feel less Asian without soy sauce & rice...not joking. It makes me want to cry. We haven't found a food Chinese joint either. Everything is "Chinese food" :T WOOT! I hope it's working for you! It was so hard to stick to the menu...we'd get some weird cravings during the week. Last night, it was a free for all, Tomato got to eat his million PBJ sammiches and I got some soup. Gotta plan for the weekend & next week!

On stir-frying, the concept is to cook things separately and combining them to reduce time. Less oil is best since you'll be incorporating sauce. If I were doing it:

1. Add about 1 TBSP oil (more or less depending on how much you're cooking at the moment) & make sure the heat is about med-high
2. Add JUST the meat/onions/garlic/etc (NOT the veggies) & stir vigorously until everything is cooked
3. While you're cooking the meat, blanch the veggies momentarily (about half-way cooked) in either a microwave steamer or pot of rapidly boiling water and then removing to cold water
4. Once meat is cooked, add sauce and season to taste
5. Add veggies and make sure everything is coated (you may or may not add more sauce), once everything is coated PROMPTLY remove from heat and serve :D

When my mom cooks, she usually sets up what she needs around the stove and throws it together right before dinner. Sometimes, she even pre-cooks the veggies just to save time. You can use a wok or a regular frying pan. Be sure to move the pan around on the burner to distribute the heat. On the matter of frying things...if it helps, get a thermometer. Deep frying is really based on temperature. I still haven't gotten it just right yet.
