Daring to go flourless and machine free: Flourless Chocolate Cake and Vanilla Ice Cream

Aaaah, it’s nice to be able to participate in the Daring Bakers challenge again! This month’s task was very approachable, a nice way to ease back into cooking. We were asked to bake a flourless chocolate cake and to make our own ice cream as an accompaniment. The February 2009 challenge is hosted by Wendy […]

FM back in the kitchen: Chinese Green Onion Pancakes

In May of 2007 we visited Beijing, China. After visiting the Great Wall we stopped at a vendor and bought some green onion pancakes that reminded me a lot of crepes. The vendor made them on a big griddle and then topped them with spicy red chili sauce and a fried egg, and then folded […]

La Fuji Mama’s Papa’s Delicious Cornish Game Hens

La Fuji Mama asked me to guest blog for her and I had a wonderful rabbit recipe I was going to use. However, the store I usually purchase rabbit from was out (perhaps because of the recent death of John Updike?), and Cornish game hens were sitting where the rabbit should have been. So having […]
