Tonight I made my galbi recipe with some thinly sliced beef bottom round to make bulgogi. We like the galbi much better. This was kinda jerky-like, tasty jerky, but still not the best texture for dinner :-P I served this with some steamed broccoli and ...

Another week of weight loss, more oysters for me! These Kumamoto oysters were grown in Humbolt Bay in Northern California. These were just a touch too briny for my tastes, but a very nice size and pretty easy to shuck, that or my skills are much improved ...

Tonight, I made Chinese pork lettuce wraps, very similar to my Chinese chicken lettuce wraps, but using a pork tenderloin instead of the chicken thighs. We like the chicken version slightly better, but this was very good, and a great way to use up a pork tenderloin we had sitting ...

An easy and delicious side. I got a two pound container of pre-cubed butternut squash at Costco and roasted it up. Some of it will probably end up as soup, if I don't eat it all first :-)

Dinner tonight was my beer roasted chicken. I went with a rub of kosher salt, black pepper, pressed garlic, and fresh thyme, with a bit of canola oil to hold it together. It was quite good as always :-)

I steamed myself an artichoke today to go with dinner. Shaun's not a fan, so more for me :-) Artichokes are easy to prepare - just cut off the top inch, trim the stem a bit, and steam for about 15-20 minutes, or until the base ...
