It’s been a while since I’ve posted. Ever since I’ve moved to Boston, life’s been a bit busy and I haven’t found too much time to practice my favorite pass-time that is cooking. So without further ado, here’s a quick update…
My girlfriend and I found some motivation to cook this past weekend and made a couple of wonderful dinners with recipes stolen from Bon Appetit. One of the recipes called for a whole Striped Sea Bass, so we ventured out into Astoria on Saturday and found a wonderful fish market called Best of the Sea on 31st and 30th.
This fish market is simply fantastic. The fish we bought was wonderfully fresh, the price was right, the seafood selection is huge, AND they clean the fish for you with not extra charge.
I’ll post some pictures on the dishes we cook later on.
Well, sort of. I came across the Tastebook website and thought that it was a very interesting idea. A way to compile all your favorite recipes into your own custom cookbook, talk about a great gift idea. The only problem is that you can’t use your own recipes.
But then again, I could just head over to Target and get material for my own personal customized recipe book. :p
My girlfriend got me this for my birthday earlier this month. Now I can truly cook in style, ahhhhh yeah!
I Smell Food is a wonderful food blog by a dear friend of mine, Emily. She and her husband, Mr. Food, are the biggest foodies I know and the ones I turn to when I need a new restaurant recommendation. As a food writer for the Boston Global, Emily travels to the far corners of Boston in hopes of experiencing the latest tastes and cuisine trends.
Well, it’s time to say goodbye to an old friend. It finally died on me. I’ve had this rice cooker since sophomore year of college, so that would be 2000. Time and time again it churched out cups of brown and jasmine rice with the utmost perfection…
