Fish curries don’t seem to be as popular as chicken, lamb or vegetable curries. It’s too bad, because fish curries are really good.

I was reading The Wok of Life blog yesterday. Those gals (I think they’re women) have some unbelievable taste buds. They made this, but of course, The Goddess changed a few things around. Okay, she changed a lot. Either way, you’re gonna’ love this. Continue reading

I really do so enjoy imitation crab meat. I know it’s not crab meat. I just like it. It’s never fishy when it’s heated. It has a nice consistency, it’s easy to work with and it just tastes so good. And it was really good in these patties. Continue reading

Flavored hummus seems to be all the rage these days. And with good reason. It’s very tasty stuff. Peas and mint are a natural combination. The lovely cool green just screams summer. Continue reading

Whaaaaat? Clementines, in fried rice? There are all sorts of recipes in Asian cooking that use orange/Mandarin/tangerine. Orange chicken? Tangerine Beef (or chicken)? So why not fried rice? Oh, you noticed the bacon, too, did you? Continue reading
