What's cooking?

I love biscotti.

Me too.

Shall we stir-fry broccoli crisp and green, or cook it down to something more comforting? No question, on a cold winter night like this. Chopped broccoli and wheat noodles in a spicy Southeast Asian coconut-peanut sauce with garlic and ginger. 

First attempt at making banh mi. I went with the banh mi xiu mai because I already had ground pork and lacked the lemongrass to make banh mi thit nuong. Unfortunately, I lacked daikon radish and a proper baguette but it was still worth the time to make it. Also, first time making mayonaisse and delighted by how simple and tasty it was!

Looks like the real thing to me, Corey!

Last night's dinner: Winter soup made from a pureed blend of celeriac, turnip, potato, carrot and a little cabbage, garnished with crumbled blue cheese.

Tonight: Sichuan-style stir-fry of green beans, tofu and onions. 

Corey-
Looks wonderful! FYI- I was at the Iroquois Manor Valu-Market this evening, and they had Daikon for your next try...

Thanks, Deb! Unfortunately, I don't live in Louisville or even within a 100 mile radius. I do love to come to the city when I can and enjoy all the great food though! A visit to Pho Binh Minh or Vietnam Kitchen is nearly mandatory whenever I'm in town.

Sichuan stir fry with green peppers, onions and tofu.

Today is Julia Child's browned beef stock- to make her Boeuf Bourgnignon for tomorrow's dinner. One of my all-time favorite recipes! If you haven't tried it- It's very worth the effort. Amazing flavor.
