This section is my workspace. I'm listing a few recipes that are first-timers, others I plan to try because they sound good, or a few that I think I can rehabilitate. I like to think of it as 'market research'.
Feel free to try them and let me know what you think. Click here to email me. New Recipes from Cleaning Out the Drawer! Pretty Much My Mother-in-Law's Corn Chowder Tofu Stir-Fry with Snap Peas and Mushrooms r i p e n i n g o n t h e v i n e
New recipes that have garnered a qualified thumbs-up from the family. Constructive criticism ranges from, "Yep, it's pretty close" to "It's good, but it's kinda ugly" to "Well, I'll eat it because it's there." Needless to say, they all need a little more tweaking, but feel free to check these out too.
Summer Water (Is lemon or lime better? Not sure yet) Lychee Lemonade Slush (added a better version as an Arnold Palmer) Pistachi-zu Tofu (much improved due to construction changes) Shortcut Sticky Buns Pumpkin Poppers Lemon Arugula Pasta (very close)<--NEW Willows Chicken/Shrimp Curry, 2011 (very close) Shoyu Fish and Ginger/Sriracha Mayo Sandwiches (very close)<--NEW Kim Chee Pork (very close) <--NEW Almond Layer Cake Ginger/Cilantro'd Fish with Coconut Cream Sauce (good but ugly) Jalapeno Corn Cakes (way better than Thai Corn Cakes) Indian Stir-fry (close) Li-Hing BBQ Chicken (very close, finalizing measurements) Plime (plum + lime) Shave Ice (has potential but waay to sour) Onion Bacon Tart (very, very close) Orange Cake (good, but needs some fluffiness) Practical Pad Thai (not bad, but needs some research) Sweet Potato Haupia Pie (better, but still needs work) No links yet. My Own Crabcakes that I Can't Eat (it was good, but I lost the recipe!) Tofu Hoisin Stir Fry (because it's there) |

Butterflied Shrimp with Pita, Spinach, Sun-Dried Tomatoes and Almonds Chicken Chowder (a riff on clam chowder) Citrus Sweet Potatoes (maybe use kabocha?) Corn Souffle (may need to wait til summer) Frozen Oreo (Lemon Creme/General Cookie?) Bon Bons Greek Style Shrimp/Chicken (?) with Tomato and Feta Lemon Blueberry Muffins Malted Ice Cream Pie Mike Honda's Cabernet Risotto Parmesan Chicken Katsu Pickled Onions Tortellini and Chard Soup |
c o m p o s tThese just didn't work. Let me know if you have a fix!
Tangerine Spinach Tangerine juice, nutmeg, pepper. Even bacon didn't help this one. Thai Corn Cakes Working on a better corn cakes recipe using jalapenos instead. Bacon/Bok Choy/Tomato/Mozzarella Pizza The idea was to make a sort of BLT pizza. Bok choy and bacon work well together. Bacon, tomato and mozzarella work well together. However, the transitive property does not apply here. Crock Pot Miso Chicken I think I'll be sticking to the original grilled version of Peanut Butter Beer Miso Chicken. The crock pot method retains a lot of the beer flavor and thus, makes the chicken very sweet. Hoisin-lime BBQ chicken Replaced by a simpler, lighter Vietnamese Grilled Potluck Chicken Pumpkin Chocolate Cake I like pumpkin. I can like chocolate. But not at the same time. Think about the color of pumpkin and chocolate together. Not a good visual either. |
