Growing up in the South seems to lend itself perfectly to almost a clairvoyant knowledge of just the right way to make the perfect Thanksgiving dinner.
Candied sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes with lots of butter and milk, yeast rolls, cornbread dressing with plenty of sage and green bean casserole are all staples of any self-respecting Southern [...]

Anyone dislikes mushrooms over here ? Ever since I started buying and using fresh mushrooms in my cooking when I was in the United States, I find it hard to resist fresh mushrooms while I was in Taiwan or now when I'm back in Singapore. Not as if I have not eaten fresh mushrooms before since birth in Singapore. It's just that my association with mushrooms when I was younger was either dried shita

It feels like we've lost so many of our Soul men in recent years: Luther, Ray, James, Barry and now Issac. It's disheartening to look at the current cadre of Black male crooners compared to their forefathers. In R&B's quest to compete with the "edginess" of Rap, the love and artistry that pioneers like Issac Hayes worked so hard to craft has been abandoned and replaced by "radio friendly" entertai
Buttered Prawns are as rich and flavourful as it sounds. A very popular Chinese dish you need a fast hand to complete this dish beautifully. For first handers, you might need a few practices before you can master the trickiest part, that is the stirring of the egg yolks. But hey, if the egg yolks do not turn as thinly as they should, it's still a great meal to sample! Try!Ingredients800 gm prawns,
The surprisingly kind review from a blog with a cartoon of death in the corner:
Abandoned Stuff is why the general population hates blogs: the mundane minutiae of one’s life told so uninterestingly that a wordless post with a photo of one solitary, single piece of toast, slightly buttered, would improve the overall-tone of this thing [...]

Two Christmas "standards' we've tried.
Chestnuts Roasted On An Open Fire Oven
I have to admit I approached the chestnuts project with great anticipation. I love the concept of the "old fashioned not quite so glitzy' Christmas and roasted chestnuts sounded like something right out of Dickens. As it turned out tho this was a huge waste of time. I roasted them in a oven and I thought they were quite tasty. However we served them at a party of about 30 people and almost no one was interested in trying them. Some folks like myself genuinely liked them but they had no where near the nostalgic appeal I thought they would.
Now I have absolutely no doubt that there are folks who have roasted chestnuts their entire lives and receive rave reviews from their circle of enlightened friends and family but if you think as a first timer you're going to get a sack of chestnuts at the grocery store and light up the party with your creativity . . . well lets just say I suggest you give it a t
Portable Home Theater PC Concept Lets You Spill Buttered Popcorn on Your Keyboard [Concept]: "Jin Woo Han's design for a Home Theater PC concept is certainly innovative. Somehow reminiscent of R2-D2, it has a built-in projector flanked by speakers that you can detach for optimum positioning. The slimline unit has retractable cords and a collapsible keyboard. Gallery is after the jump.I'm particularly keen on the Harry Porrter DVDs stacked up next to the unit. [Yanko] (Via Gizmodo.)
There is no end is there? Scandal upon scandal, upon scandal.
How much more does America need to know?
How much more is America willing to take?
I find it ludicrous that Hillary Clinton, a person of such low caliber is running for President of the United States.
America deserves better.
Hopefully we get what we so deserve. As should Hillary.
Recipients of Bill Clinton’s 11 hour presidential pardons, know which side their bread was buttered on. And are paying in kind. Nudge nudge, wink wink…
Pardon Patrons Paying It Forward @ GOP.com
The Clinton machine keeps on rolling - right to the bank. Surely you
have heard of Clinton’s war chest and recent allegations regarding
dishwashers and busboys from New York’s Chinatown, but have you heard about
her pardon patrons? ABC News has reported that “Three recipients of controversial 11th-hour pardons issued by former President Bill Clinton in January 2001 have donated
thousands of dollars to the presidential camp
I am getting close to the halfway point of NaBloPoMo, and so far I’ve only had one day when I really, really didn’t want to write and had to force myself. On the plus side, I’ve plumbed my depths for ideas about food from cookbook selection to memories; on the negative side I have written some lower quality entries than I would in an ordinary month.
I have designated Tuesdays, during this marathon of blogging, as Random Dinner Snapshot days. Today’s dinner was from my brand new BonAppetit Cookbook which I won in a raffle. I made Chicken Paprikas, buttered noodles with poppy seeds, and Roasted brussel sprouts and cauliflower with orange.
The paprikas is a dish with which I am well familiar, having come from a long line of Hungarian cooks. Although the recipe notes (and it is true that) the traditional recipe calls for sour cream and bacon fat, the dish has always been sour cream -free in my family, most likely because the Hungarians of my ancestry were Jewish
Sometime in your life, admit it; you’ve cooked up a batch of pasta and dropped a few pats of butter on it, sprinkled it with parmesan cheese, maybe from a green can, and sat down to eat it sloppily, your lips shiny with butter while your tummy says ‘Mmmmm, thanks so much!’ as your brain screeches to a halt from the overwhelming way that life tends to be. This possibly was in your college days, where budgets were tight and sales prices eagerly scanned for the best deal to get you through to the next paycheck. We all did it in one way or another; Ramen noodles, chicken noodle or tomato soup with saltines, a loaf of bread and a jar of peanut butter that needed to last the whole week, macaroni and cheese in a box.
Well, at least college was like that for me.
Thankfully life isn’t that way anymore, and my food tastes are a lot more discriminating. Tomato soup is wonderful sprinkled with fresh basil, garlic croutons and a dusting of dry mustard, my mac and cheese is
Isaac Hayes - Hot Buttered Soul(1969)320kbpsReleased at the tail end of the '60s, Hot Buttered Soul set the precedent for how soul would evolve in the early '70s, simultaneously establishing Isaac Hayes and the Bar-Kays as major forces within black music. Though not quite as definitive as Black Moses or as well-known as Shaft, Hot Buttered Soul remains an undeniably seminal record; it stretched its songs far beyond the traditional three-to-four-minute industry norm, featured long instrumental stretches where the Bar-Kays stole the spotlight, and it introduced a new, iconic persona for soul with Hayes' tough yet sensual image. With the release of this album, Motown suddenly seemed manufactured and James Brown a bit too theatrical. Surprising many, the album features only four songs. The first, "Walk on By," is an epic 12-minute moment of true perfection, its trademark string-laden intro just dripping with syrupy sentiment, and the thumping mid-tempo drum beat and accompanying basslin
Vista is barely starting to take hold in the marketplace, yet the loose lips in Redmond are once again busily quivering in time with their wagging tongues about the next generation operating system code named Windows 7.
According to reports on CNet and Seattlepi.com , among others, Windows 7 is due in 2010. However, the way Vista development went, who can tell?

It kills me that I made this at the beginning of July and am only posting about it now. Kills me!!
This is such a simple meal to prepare, and the ingredients work something like magic. Seriously. Magic. The chicken roasted happily in the oven, the beans heated on the stove and turned into a creamy, lemony, oregano happiness. I have a thing for arugula, too, and its pepperiness lent beautifully
I'm not sure how people would like this dish but I love it. It smells great ... because a use lots of butter. I never use margarine. It can never substitute butter. And the best of all I managed to get my son to eat capsicum, which he calls bell pepper. Yeah! I told him to close his eyes because I'm going to let him taste something and he was going to guess what it was. Obviously he couldn't as he never wanted to take a bite but he did say he like it and it's sweet. When I told him he just ate bell pepper, he stuck out his tongue!! Hai yo!Ingredients:1 punnet White Button Mushrooms, thickly sliced10 Baby Corn1 Bell Pepper, thinly sliced (I used 2 as mine were very small)15g ButterSalt to taste (optional)How to do it:Stir fry baby corn with butter till slightly brown.Add mushrooms and bell pepper.Stir fry till mushrooms are brown and sauce are fairly soak up.Add a pinch of salt to taste.Dish and serve
Isaiah has been busy this week...His class did chapel on Tuesday... they acted out Matthew chapter 14. Reminding us that Jesus could have fed the 5000 people all by Himself, but He didn't. He used a little boy. He used a few loaves of bread and a few fish to feed 5000 people... why? Because that little boy was willing to give what he had to Jesus.Am I willing to give what I have over to Jesus to do what He wants with it?Why do I think I could make more of what I have than He can?This applies to all areas of out lives... give God our Marriages, see what He can do with it. Our children, our homes... every aspect of our lives. Time and time again I find myself trying to make the best of something, when I should be letting GOD make the best of it.So thanks for that reminder Isaiah... and all the 2nd graders.Isaiah has also been working on a derby car for the big derby car race that took place last night...This is an exact quote from the mouth of my 8 year old..."While we were workin
Firstly I would like to apologize for my long absence due to my holiday. Today's simple and quick Spicy Buttered Squid recipe was prepared during the holidays with my family and relatives. It has been quite some time since I saw some of my uncles and aunties residing in Sweden and Singapore and it was great to get to know my cousins as well. At times I must admit it was kinda awkward but family bond is truly a magical thing. During the last day before I departed, we exchanged emails and vowed to keep in touch and I can't helped but wonder how fantastic the internet have brought us somehow closer with each other.Ingredients3 lb Squids - cleaned and sliced into 1/2" wide rings5 CilipadiCilipadi (Bird Chili) - sliced into small pieces2 stalks of Curry LeavesCurry Leaves - sliced in half3 cloves of GarlicGarlic - sliced2 tbsp salted ButterSalt to tasteBlack Pepper to tasteDirections1] To clean squid, remove purplish skin, separate the head from the body.2] Wash the inside of the squid bo
