J – These savory guys are so worth eating … unlike most calorie-bomb breadsticks. Nice and pillow-like, with lots of flavor. You do have to pace yourself, though. They go down all too easily. We use the same dough we use for our pizza crust. Same as lots, but not … Continue reading
J – Decadent! These guys are just too good. And, they are not all that hard to prepare. When Luke first suggested doing them, I thought “Great, I’m glad he’s preparing them … he’s faster.” My concern was unfounded. All you need to do is get into a pattern. They’re … Continue reading
C – I didn’t know that you used baby artichokes for marinating … and not the large variety. Well, I couldn’t find baby artichokes. So, I am going to try using the large variety instead. Will it work out? There was a lot of thinking that I had to go … Continue reading

J – I love bok choy … except when I make it. Dim sum place? Yup. Luke makes it? Yup. Christina makes it? Yup. I guess it’s time for me to shape up my bok choy cooking. No more slimy bok choy. So, dim sum week was a perfect time … Continue reading
C – I am always so curious to try new things at a dim sum place. I love the dim sum places where they push carts filled with small food baskets. I love seeing what’s inside each basket. The only thing I hate about those places is that I always … Continue reading
C – It’s Dim Sum Week! Perfect timing since Chinese New Year is this week. I love and hate this week. It’s a week where there is lots of celebrating, time off and lots of food. The down side is that when Chinese New Year comes around, some of the … Continue reading
