Posted on January 28, 2015 by cookinginsens

Twice Cooked Honey Roasted Duck Legs

Posted on January 24, 2015 by cookinginsens

I’ve found an Asian supply grocery! It’s called Laos Asian Market.

Walkabout Goat Curry

Posted on January 20, 2015 by cookinginsens

The inspiration for the Indian food today comes from Simply Vegetarian 777. I don’t remember how I got to her site but once there I was immediately transfixed by her Mung Methi Dal with Garlic Tadka. I’m not quite sure … Continue reading →

Posted on January 16, 2015 by cookinginsens

I actually made this black eyed pea/potato/meatball stew the day before yesterday but was so disgusted with the whole thing that I couldn’t be bothered to post it. I decided to post today because I was bored and the pictures … Continue reading →

During the holidays, Wegmans had an incredible sale on lamb; refrigerated floor bins filled with legs and racks. Good prices too. Of course the sign just said “lamb.” A tedious search of the packaging finally turned up, in some of the … Continue reading →

A Bowl of Noodles

Posted on January 6, 2015 by cookinginsens

I ordered what I thought would be fresh udon noodles through, I think, amazon.com. The noodles I received were neither fresh nor udon, but they were a good quality noodle. I can’t tell you exactly what they were because everything on … Continue reading →

Red Wine Braised Flanken Ribs

Posted on January 5, 2015 by cookinginsens

Snow Day

Posted on January 3, 2015 by cookinginsens

Bitter, cold weather has prompted my family to nag and drop hints about soup. Potato soup was mentioned, as was the Haitian soup giraumon. I thought we should have a sort of fish stew like cullen skink but couldn’t bring myself to … Continue reading →
