Crispy Skin Salmon 2007-05-27 03:02:21 One of my favourite foods is salmon, be it smoked, sashimi, grilled, baked, fried. The smell of freshly pan fried salmon, with mouth watering crispy skin, where it melts in your mouth, together with the tender medium-rare flesh, and rich succulent flavours.
It’s amazing how it can be so effortlessly prepared and eaten it in so many different ways. High in protein and low in saturated fats, it even has the benefit of being rich in omega 3 essential fatty acids that help fight diseases. For a balanced diet it’s recommended to eat fish twice a week, and this can be done easily with such an simple recipe.
2 salmon fillets, skin on
3 tsp olive oil
Freshly ground salt and pepper
Scale salmon fillets, and remove any bones, wash and pat dry with paper towel. Season salmon on both sides with salt and ground pepper.
Heat olive oil in non stick fry pan on high heat, add fillet to hot pan skin side down, cook for 3 minutes, or until crispy. Turn and cook for further 1- 2 minute Read more:Crispy

Microwave Chicken 2007-05-23 08:26:23
The humble microwave has always been an appliance I’ve mainly used for reheating food or defrosting. Until recently I never fully utilised all its functions and abilities or tested its limits. It really did surprise me when it was capable of cooking a full meal in a fraction of the time compared to a traditional oven.
Tonight’s menu consisted of roast chicken with dill potatoes and garden salad. Who said you need to slave over a hot stove to serve up a beautiful dinner.

Dragon Fruit 2007-02-07 04:59:44
From Wikipedia:
The pitaya (also known as pitahaya, dragon fruit, huǒ lóng guǒ, strawberry pear, nanettikafruit, or thanh long) is the fruit of several cactus species, especially of the genus Hylocereus, but also see Stenocereus. Native to Mexico and Central and South America, these vine-like epiphytic cacti are also cultivated in Southeast Asian countries such as Vietnam and Malaysia. They are also found in Taiwan, Okinawa, Israel, and southern China. The pitaya only flowers at night; they are large white flowers that are often called Moonflower or Queen of the Night.
The species Stenocereus gummosus in the Sonoran desert has been an important food source for Native American peoples. The Seri people of northwestern Mexico still harvest the highly appreciated fruit of the pitaya agria (Spanish), which the Seris call ziix is ccapxl “thing whose fruit is sour”.
The red flesh variety is believed to be rich in antioxidants.
