The reason I really like this meal is because it's an easy weeknight meal, and by making it homemade - it is fully customizable (no MSG, extra broccoli...etc) I look at ginger, garlic and scallion as the "mirepoix" of Asian cookery. Mirepoix just means a flavor base - usually onions, carrots and celery, but can vary widely depending on the cuisine. Here, the flavor base will perfume your kitchen with the smell of a wok. This is an adaptaion of the food network's recipe. 1.5 pound ... continue reading...
Arequipe (Dulce de Leche)
My mother was born in Cienaga Magdalena, Colombia - simply known as "la costa". ( "the coast" in Spanish.)

Watermelon, Mint & Feta Salad
You know you have a good combo when it goes something like this: Sweet: juicy watermelon Salty: feta cheese Fresh: mint Crunch: raw red onion, cucumbers With the heat lately, I was forced to make something refreshing & herbaceous. Timing is perfect with Memorial Day weekend and all. This is a great "something-to-bring-to-your-friend's-BBQ-when-they've-invited-you-for-the-5th-time-and-you-always-bring-the-same-salad"... type of salad.
