Poaching

Ok I think I did what Martha Stewart said to do.
I added vinegar to the water to help with protein coagulation

Then I went ahead on my own and added some salt and some lemon juice and a touch of dried italian seasoning (hey! I do as I please)
Then I cracked the eggs and did that skirting thing with the whites to make them fold over the yolk

They came out really good and I added some Polish mustard and orange habanero sauce that i home made (just a spot of it).
They were really good.
My first time making plain poached eggs!

Discovery

You know what's good?
This thing

That I can only eat occasionally but is so so good
You get some ramen type noodles and immerse them in boiling water for two minutes
Then pour cold water over them after draining the hot water.

Then sautee them in a tbsp of seasoned garlic butter
HEAVEN....
I will serve this to guests....

Veggie green curry

I then tried this green curry.

It was just carrots and green/sweet peppers

Very Very Good
I added Low fat sour cream, not yougurt as the base

Not sure

This tasted good but I wasn't so sure about how it looked.

I had kofta curry with chick peas balls the other day and I tried to re-create it. Purely vegetarian/vegan

The only thing was that the chick peas patties I made started to fall apart in the kofta curry
I will make it again and use egg to bind.
You can see there are patties there but they started to break away and blend into the sauce ARGH!

Want to be trying next...

Definitely this

And I felt like it when watching On To The Next One

That song is so cool...

The bottles are gold

OHHHHHH

I am in love

Then I felt sick after

But It was good while I ate it.

The fun was gobbling it all up KNOWING my stomach would hurt me not one minute later.

Artsy party

So I went over to this get together. It was mainly for my work or a production meeting but they said I should hang out and eat there.

I really liked the people and the place.
The place was full of craft and art
The food was just as artsy

It was all like vegetarian though nobody really was.
So after they ate in a vegetarian way

Chicken on plates was shared out

I really thought it was funny and cute.

Then this cake.
I really know a lot of really different types of people.
It's amazing.
