Satay Variation
Yesterday, as we were debating over who is cooking so much, Cookies said, he wishes we had a good asian restaurant in the neighbourhood, cos he feels for egg rolls and sweet & sour chix… Unfortunately we don’t have even one. There are 5 or 6 places offering asian cuisine but none of them is actually edible. I think we got spoiled by Green Dragon ;P awesome food. Our debate reminded me that I haven't post anything oriental for very long time. So I started browsing my archives and I found a picture of my variation on Beef Satay.
As usual the recipe was easy, but when I started cooking I found out that I didn’t have skewers 0_o, so couldn't make it the exact way. My first thought was: dang no dinner today 0_o he will be moaning again, OK I have to do something to SHUT HIM UP! Though after hitting my head on the ledge for about 5 minutes I decided I will “variate” the recipe so it will fit what I have, why that took 5 minutes you ask, well I was knocked silly from hitting my damn head on the ledge, DUH. 0_o When I cooked and, I tried it I was again in great distress, cos when I tried it… it was at least a bit weird 0_o. though telling you, I thought it will be another spectacular disaster… but in the end… read Cookies comment :D.
Antidepresant Muffins
Well, I know I have been neglecting Magda Cooks terribly lately. I didn’t feel like moving my pinky. You can say keep calm and stop moaning, but there is time when too many problems overwhelm you and you just lose it. Thankfully I’m optimist by …
Magda’s Sweet & Sour Pork
When Cookies told me he took pork chops of the freezer I was like… WTF loin cutlets AGAIN??? I thought I won’t manage another typical meal and I started thinking what to prepare… I looked at PINTEREST for some ideas and saw recipe for pork …
Beef-A-Roni
When I was kid, many MOONS ago, I enjoyed a lot of the Chef Boyardee products. I guess it added to my “mass”… HAHAHA, anyway, one day out of the blue I made for Magda a similar creation, of Beef-A-Roni… and its literally become one of her favorite meals. And its relatively easy and FAST to make… a key element in the Magda Cooks Project… lets do it!
Green Pasta With Shrimps
Cookies always says I'm a specialist in cooking shrimps 😉 but I just watch attentively cooking shows and listen to the ppl who really know what they are doing in the kitchen 0_o. One of my basic rules with shrimps comes from Jamie Oliver who …
Easy As Pie, The Apple Pie!!
For the last couple weeks I was tormented by visions of apple cake, pie or whatever but absolutely with apples. I know a good recipe for an apple cake but the baking tin dedicated for it won't fit to my beloved halogen oven. I …
Almost diet pouches
I know, I’m boring everybody with my peans about my beloved halogen oven… but truth is, its awesome equipment. I learned to use it quite well – ask Cookies about Xmas turkey (post coming soon!) ;-). Since the halogen oven is not too big, plus I can’t find here right size baking forms and I like to eat some cakes 😛 yeah, beats me too 0_o. I went to the store I hate the most (only one open at the time) and believe me or not I found french dough on sale. Of course I have halogen oven now so I bought 2 big rolls. Then every time I looked into the fridge I saw it there screaming at me to use it, but I never did before and couldn’t get my head into it. Most of the recipes I found needed baking dish I didn’t have. Some time passed and I still didn’t have idea what to do… One Sunday, I think the last before the dough expired I decided I can’t wait no longer and I have to take the bull by his horns… I took it out of the fridge and kept looking at the shelfs what I can make with it… Drawer? Carrots… peppers… celery root… piece of ginger… nah not a dessert material.. Shelf above? Pickles, mayo, stuffed olives… DAMN!!! Then I got enlightenment… There was apples inside… More painful thinking and I had it all figured out 😉 my own recipe for french dough apple filled pouches.
Cookies Wet Dream
Cookies Wet Dream For as long as I can remember Cookies has been moaning how much he misses certain dishes from US. Some of those foods I managed to make, like Sloppy Joes or Dirty Rice. But one of his Holy Grails is Cinnamon Raisins …
