Loosely based on a recipe for Ginger Nuts from Delia (for USians, if you've not heard of her, she's Alton Brown in a twin set. Who runs a football team as a hobby. Also, they're a type of biscuit. Which is sort of like a cookie, but not. And yes, we get the 'nuts' joke).

( ingredients )
( Instructions )
Eat. If there are any left (weirdo), then store them in an airtight container. There are never any left in this house.

I just finished eating dessert here, and I was savoring the first wheat free crust that I've made that was not only passable but really tasty.

Today, dear

omnomnomers, we shall learn the fine art of ~~lighting stuff on fire~~ creating Bananas Foster.

Recipe first, then story time. :)

( Under here, there be FIRE )

Story time!

Story the first: My dad is a food safety nut. He used to own a restaurant Back In The Day and so he's big on the cross-contaim prevention and using vents (hoods) over the stove. Well, the first time we made this at home, my dad (being my dad) turned on the vent. We didn't turn it off before we lit the fumes, and FWOOSH, there was a giant fireball that went up into the stove hood, melted the mesh filter and fused it into one solid piece of metal. Yeah, we had to get a new hood, and we never leave the vent on when we're making this. :) Moral of this story: if you want an excuse to get a new stove hood, make this and leave it on.

Story the second: I had a boyfriend over and we decided to make this. He did the lighting and didn't get his arm away fast enough before it caught. He didn't have any burns on his skin, but all his hair on his arm was singed off. Moral of this story: move your arm faster, genius.

In conclusion: FIRE.

I really need a food icon. Anyway.

I'm Australian, currently living in San Francisco's Mission District, and one of the things that's been driving me crazy since I left home is that I miss the Asian groceries and Asian food I was surrounded by there. Australia's really close to south-east Asia, especially Indonesia, and Indonesian and Malaysian food are as readily available where I come from as Central American food is where I am now.

I've been in SF over a year now, and FINALLY today I made it to a decent Asian grocery (it was a bit of a trek), bought a wok, and a bunch of ingredients. Tonight's dinner was just a quick stir-fry, the sort of thing I used to make when I got home late and didn't want to spend any longer cooking than it took for the rice to be done. This is a "pantry" dish, using things that I'd usually have on hand, apart from a bunch of fresh greens. If you live near a Chinatown or any kind of Asian grocery, you can grab a bunch of greens on the way home and make this very easily from staple ingredients.

This isn't 100% authentic to any particular cuisine; it's kind of white-girl-cooks-Malaysian. Tasty, anyway!

Vaguely-Japanese Salmon: a very quick, simple way to fix salmon. It's salty-sweet-spicy in a nice balance, and works very well over rice, and as a leftover.
