Back in the Kitchen

Everytime I think I'm completely uninspired and don't know what to cook, all it takes is a quick surf to my favourite food blogs to make me think that the weekend can't come soon enough so I can start cooking again. Here are my favourites that I want to try (not sure if it'll be accomplished this weekend, but I'm going to attempt at least a couple...).

  • First since I want to try no less than three of his posted recipe are Reid/ Ono Kine Grindz's Bread Pudding, Kang Kong Blachan (Kang Kong with shrimp paste); and Portuguese Sopa de Feiojao
  • From Renee of Shiokadelicious - a lovely simple green bean omelette which reminds me a little of the oyster omelettes I used to eat when living in the Philippines.
  • From Stel of Baby Rambutan - Paksiw na lechong pabo: a sauce, usually served with lechon (roast pork) for leftover turkey!
  • Sassy at the Radical Chef recently tried out a recipe that seemed like a wesernized version of the filipino kare-kare: Potato, Beef and Peanut Pot.
  • Becks N Posh's Sam recently made a gorgeous kuchen from the French Laundry Cookbook
  • And clever Santos took a peek at a Williams-Sonoma brining mix to inspire her own soaking mixture for some lovely roasted citrus herby game hens...

Can't wait to fire up the ovens! After this past Thanksgiving, I didn't think I'd be cooking for a while, but now it seems like last weekend was just the beginning... Posted by claudine at December 1, 2004 11:32 AM

Hi Claudine,

Thanks for linking to my recipes! *blush* I'm not too much of the home cooking type either, especially since I'm pretty much cooking for myself (unless I invite people over, or take food for the folks at work).

Hope you like them!

BTW...any idea what the Portuguese folks thought of the Sopa de Feijao recipe?
