OMG a Recipe: Salt n' Peppa Pork ChopsNot that it's news to anyone, but when I have delicious Chinese food, I'm always reminded that they can take something so basic and just make it better. Curse you Asians, and your overachieving ways!! *Pause, to look at oneself in mirror, then slap palm to face* It seems like strange thing to go to a Chinese restaurant and order pork… |

UnRecipe: General Tsort-of's ChickenDon't deny it. You have an illicit love for Americanized Chinese food. For as much food-snobbery you have over knowing the origins of obscure ethnic cuisine and how ingredients were introduced to different cultures, when you're in a typical American-style Chinese restaurant, your eyes glaze over with junkie-like glee for the dishes… |

OMG a Recipe: I Want Hot NoodlesIn the immortal words of comic book character Hellboy: I want hot noodles. "Pamcakes" are nifty and all, but sometimes you want noodles, and in my case, I had a specific craving for the Korean dish, japchae, a simple stir-fry of thin noodles, vegetables, sometimes meat, in a sweet-savory sesame sauce. If you're at all familiar with… |

UnRecipe: Hot Wok Culture Shock - a Tale of Two NoodlesWith food, as is with life, it's so much about presentation and context. We all have our set ways and expectations, but we're never beyond making adjustments. I don't mind the idea of both savory and sweet crepes, but I still can't quite wrap my head around the notion of a "dessert pizza," where it's usually smothered in marshmallows,… |

UnRecipe: Ride the Snake, 2013HAPPY NEW YEAR! Well, it's not Chinese New Year's yet, but I'm still ready to party like it's 1999 with some favorite Szechuan style dishes and turn the heat up on this upcoming 2013 Year of the Snake! I'm okay with leaving the Year of the Dragon behind -- it was "my year" and I'm more than happy to pass along the mantle to the Mister… |

FoodTrek: Wowie, it's Maui! Getting Onto Island TimeI should preface this whole vacation-a-palooza by explaining that Mister and I traveled with his company, Runic Games, out to Maui for just shy of a week -- a very, very, VERY generous and wonderful show of appreciation for the employees and their game-widowed/widowered families who gave up many months of normalcy over last year to… |

FoodTrek: Maui Part Deux - Pizza and Beer, With AlohaFabiani's is in Kihei, a little off the beaten path in a small strip mall off Lipoa Street. They serve breakfast, lunch and dinner, handmade baked goods -- a total gem. It's clearly a popular neighborhood spot, as it was busy on a weeknight and that's always a good sign. The owner, Lorenzo Fabiani, is from Italy, so it's not one of… |

FoodTrek: Fearless Feats and Feasts, the Maui Adventures Continue!My best vacation advice ever? Have SOMEONE ELSE plan your excursions. Because that Someone Else will plan something more adventurous than what you would ever choose from a clinically sane mind. That Someone Else will test your boundaries for personal… |

UnRecipe: Be My Valentine, Truffle ButterI knew I was with my soulmate when he said as an aside, "Just so you know, I bought a bunch of duck fat and truffle butter, so make sure you're home to sign for that." No real intention or grand plan, it just sounded good. And of course, he's right -- it does sound good. Freakin' majestic, even. I can credit Woot for this purchase,… |
