Sticky cinnamon bun!
Sticky bun!, originally uploaded by framboise. In my belly within: 3 min of coming out of the oven, 2 min of being placed on the plate, 1 min of being photographed. Another 11 buns in the dish. It’s going to be a busy day…
Chicken Onna Beer Can
Our Thanksgiving Chook. No turkey for us; we’re having turkey for WinterPaganFestival, and I don’t eat turkey more than once a year. Recipe in brief: Dry rub of brown sugar, salt, pepper, paprika, cayenne pepper, random couscousesque spices slathered all over washed and dried chicken. 12oz can of beer opened, and taste tested. Important, that… […]
and breathe…
It’s been manic. My summer disappeared in a haze of work (good) and people throwing hissy-fits at work (not good). Early autumn was devoted to preparing for, attending, talking at, and then recovering from a large science conference in Chicago. Some fortuitous foresight on my part in summer meant that I also had a few […]
u-MAY-shu
Steeped some very unripe plums in sugary soju in May. Now to put reminder in calendar that we have to sample our umeshu in September/October1. 1 The pink-tinged plums may look pretty here, but it’s all gone a bit greeny brown and medicinal in the jar now.
Nasi Lemak
For $11. 1 That’s in Singapore dollars, which works out to US$0.66 or 50p at the current exchange rate. I can’t even get the cheapest taco for that!

Subarashi Sukiyaki
I’ve jabbered on about sukiyaki before, so here’s a quick run-down of the “how to”: Prepare the ingredients. This dish needs to be cooked at the dining table, and it’s best to have everything ready. We buy the beef pre-sliced. The flower-shaped gluten-thingy² needs to be rehydrated (soak briefly, a few min, and squeeze lightly). […]
Beef Stroggy
Went a bit mad buying weekday lunch ingredients in the supermarket last week. Cooked pounds of chicken thigh, pounds of carrots, and pounds of ham and beans, leaving behind half a cow in the fridge. The critical question today was not whether I could get the RO1 edited in time, nor whether I’d remember to […]
Mini pancakes with turkey bacon
You never know what kind of pancakes you’re going to get in this household. It all depends on the mood of the pancake maker. Some days, we get beautiful fluffy specimens, and other days… Well; let’s not talk about those too much. Today’s reward for getting out of my snuggle-buggle duvet-land was pretty good. When […]
