Yup. Another experiment with the convection oven. This time CHICKEN.
Since we gave up on the cabbage soup diet, I thought I would make the chicken that was sitting in the freezer. I took it out in the morning but still sort of stiff by the time I was going to roast it. I nuked it [...]
Let me re-write this post. I was so frustrated with my runny nose, I simply couldn’t think properly. So here we go again…..
After recuperated from all the Christmas party, I was going on a rampage to clean up the house for the New Year’s Eve party. It’s nothing big, just a casual get together with [...]
As you could probably tell by now, I LOVE FOOD. That’s why a lot of things I tried were recipes or food related. I was really hoping to do something different while I didn’t have to go to work. May be this coming weekend.
Okay… so here was what I tried new today. 1. using convection [...]
I think I am ready for Christmas. Fridge is stocked up and house is cleaned.
While I was at Diana’s Seafood yesterday, I saw these “pasta clam”. They seemed relatively affordable (C$4.99/lb) so I picked up a pound. Kept them in the fridge for overnight and this morning I saw one that seemed to be dead [...]
Our office is closed from 24th Dec to Jan 3rd. In a way it’s quite nice but the downside is that we have to use our 2.5 vacation days. Kind of a bummer when you only gets 10 vacation days to begin with.
I purposely drove down to work so I could pick up stuff on [...]
Well, we lost our dad last year and never gets any easier around holiday seasons. I could sense that my mom was a bit down so we invited her over for dinner. In a way there was some benefit to live so close to her. Made it easier for me to take care of her.
We [...]
We got a Hershey Kiss Fondue set from our friend for Christmas. I saw it and my eyes lit up. I never had fondue before and just so happened I had some strawberries in the fridge. PERFECT!!! I saw the box and thought the chocolate was included. I was so disappointed that it wasn’t. I [...]
Today we had another couple coming over for lunch. I wasn’t sure if I should make one chicken or 2. What if everybody likes white meat then one chicken is not enough but then 2 chicken is just too much meat. Then I had an idea, how about smaller chicken?? Then I remember seeing some [...]
Today we hosted our first Christmas dinner of 2009. We had two of my hubby’s highschool classmate came over since my hubby was allergic to their dog. It’s alright, at least I got to test drive my new set of Gordon Ramsay Everyday Stainless Steel Cookware and of course enjoyed my newly renovated kitchen.
First task [...]
First thing in the morning, we found out that there was some issue with Go Train and if we were to stick with them, we would never get to work so we ended up drove down to the office. Traffic was relatively light probably because people already started their holiday early.
Instead of trying to fight [...]
