RSS FeedSo, slow roasted tomatoes, I keep hearing the raves about how easy it is to do so today I’m here to tell you…they’re absolutely right. I actually don’t know why I put off doing this for the longest time. Let me admit first that I’m not a fan of raw tomatoes except salsas because I [...]

Baked Potatoes 2 Ways
November 18th, 2011 
Sharon I made these as an accompaniment to the chicken parmigiana dinner although my hubs and I didn’t touch it in the end cause we were too full. But I had them for lunch the next day and it was delish, largely because it had bacon sprinkles in them. Baked potato 2 ways is just two [...]
Pantry 101 – Vanilla Extract
November 17th, 2011 Sharon The vodka takes on a very dark colour from the vanilla, this jar of extract has been steeping for almost 4 months. I once bought a bottle of vanilla extract and it costs me RM30. It didn’t even last for two months. So by some good grace, Jaya Grocer was selling these vanilla pods for [...]
Homemade Chipotle BBQ Sauce…and some personal notes

November 12th, 2011 Sharon Seriously…what would soup week be without the eminent ABC soup? I have no idea why it’s called ABC soup. It might be because it’s so easy to make…it’s easy as ABC…get it? Or because it’s a soup where anything goes and therefore does not have a fixed name to call it…hence ABC. But some people [...]

November 12th, 2011 Sharon I’m the type of person who’s perfectly okay eating plain rice with just one egg or some steamed veges. But my husband on the other hand insists that there needs to be something to ‘banjir‘ (flood) his rice, whether it’s gravy, curry or soup. He says I’m weird for eating dry rice like that, I [...]
