Some recipes for your enjoyment
I originally intended this blog to be a food-blog, since I didn’t have much else worth posting. Having nothing interesting to say certainly hasn’t kept me from posting, but I thought it might be nice to start posting some of the recipes that come out of my kitchen at home. Jenny has a veritable treasure trove of recipes in her head, and I’ve started encouraging her to properly document them for posterity. Here are a few.
- Crispy Fried Tofu with Scallions and Ginger Sauce (also known as “#209″ to anyone who frequents Mandarin Wok in Champaign). This is our approximation of a golden favorite from that restaurant.
- Lobster Avocado Salad - this is an original from Jenny. I promise it’s good. If you’re initially freaked out at the thought of lobster and avocado together, I recommend getting over it. It’s great - at least in this recipe.
- Home-made Mayonnaise - This is just a simple mayonnaise recipe, needed as part of the Lobster Avocado Salad. Basically lifted from Julia Child’s book, Mastering the Art of French Cooking.
Enjoy. Hopefully there will be more recipes to come. Let me know how it turns out if you try any of these.
(update: fixed the recipe links. Sorry about that.)
