LCOM's Hei Jian (虾煎) Shrimps OmeletteOne of my childhood favorites is "oh jian" or Malaysian style oyster omelette.

Raw Vegetable Salad for a CrowdLike many of my recipes, this one has been hanging around since the '70's, and it is always a huge hit. I have never tried to alter it in any way, as I've never felt it needed it; but if anyone has any suggestions, fire away!

And then Granny Smith (green apple) was on sales for 3 for $1 and I couldn't pass it out so I bought 3. But I only used 2 for this recipe. With the ready made defroze pie crust and Granny… |

Mincemeat Cookies ~ The Old Fashioned WayI have always loved mincemeat - pie with vanilla ice cream or cookies and cocoa. This is how we make them, except here I will substitute Borden's Nonesuch Mincemeat, or Robertson's (preferred) in a jar instead of homemade mincemeat. You can substitute your favorite shortening (vegetable works great) while I will use rendered leaf… |
