Went to this restaurant in Los Altos — it's downtown on the main street, i think it starts with a Z — and had these delicious scallops with fennel and a saffron sauce.

Vegetable soups are a healthy way to fill up in the middle of the day. This spinach soup recipe tastes good and I feel so good after I eat it. The butter might be a problem for some so you can just substitute with olive oil.

Each time I return, I convince myself that I must have imagined it. Can a place really be so perfect?
Well, I’m back again, and the answer is yes.

These spices can be combined in amounts to make specific spice mixtures used in everyday cooking. A very well known spice mixture is the Garam Masala. The word garam means hot, not "hot" as in spicy chili hot, but due to the fact that the spices blended in the mixture are said to increase the body temperature.

Chocolate truffles are a delicious treat, and making them is worth the effort!!! This recipe from the Food Network is just do-able enough that the untrained inner-chef in you can rise to the occassion! With several varieties to suite many palates, this recipe is a keeper!

i really don't have the time to blog tonight. i like to get plenty of sleep and wake up quite early (before 5am), so i don't always have too much time after work for recreational activities. i had made up my mind to cook a really cool-sounding recipe that i had come across recently, so i cooked it and took photos and thought i would probably get around to the blog post this weekend.

WELL – well – MEN… He was stressed out every day and then he „wanted to cheer me up“, by having been on Tuesday Market, yet instead of the whole list he only bought two items on it… Salad and fresh onions. The rest = tomatoes, green peppers, mushrooms, he had forgotten so luckily and i had been so stupid and had even printed it on an A4 paper… GREAT – why did i take that effort when he forgot everything? Well it was HIS stress not mine… The other day he came home around 13:00 hrs, slept till 15:00 hrs, got up and said: “ I have to go to the bakery.

in the grocery store, there are two sections that i can just linger in all day long. one is the baking aisle (*sigh*) and the other is the produce section. i love to stare at the vegetables, have a new one strike my fancy, take my time choosing the best of the store's selection.

Sometimes I feel that I bear a resemblance to the Tin Man. While I may not be silver, I am quite often shiny and I hate it. I often tell my husband that I could probably make the reserves for oil companies all by myself.
