I must say that things have been hectic, and did not really expect to find myself having dinner at 10:00pm. Ah well, such is life.
Neck stretches - done. Shoulder exercises - to be done at bedtime.

2012-02-06 Creamed Oysters on Toasted Corn Bread
This came from September 1997's Gusto! magazine. I made sourdough pancakes in place of the cornbread. I could have chopped the oysters, red pepper and onions a little bit finer. I added crab chunks leftover from a previous recipe.

2012-01-24: Spicy Long Beans
Ack!
I haven't used that word in a while.
Ack!
Either I need to reduce the amount of salt by half in the Spicy Long Bean recipe or I need to use twice the amount of long beans. Or I should not substitute regular table salt for kosher salt. Actually, the long beans tasted really good before I put the sesame seed-salt mixture on top. This could have been really good except for the amount of salt.

2012-01-21: Sesame Broccoli
This is another one from Moosewood Restaurant Simple Suppers. It was quite refreshing to have vegetables :)
On another note, while I'm enjoying this pursuit of a recipe-a-day, I didn't realize how restricted I would feel. Instead of my previous cooking style of creatively putting together something according to what is in the fridge, I am now putting together meals according to what others have set out. And I can't always find the ingredients! Maybe I've squished my creativity out in order to learn how to cook according to recipes.

2012-01-16 Garlic-Rosemary Fingerling Potatoes
I sprouted something in my kitchen! Unfortunately, they were potatoes. Today's recipe from Februrary 1, 2006, called for fingerling potatoes, but I figured it would be best if I used up the potatoes that were already in my kitchen.
Unfortunately, heavily sprouted potatoes taste ... different. Also unfortunately, burnt potatoes and garlic also taste ... different. I'm certain that this dish would taste lovely, except for the triple disaster of Sprouted Potatoes, Burnt Potatoes and Burnt Garlic. One day, this recipe will need to be tried again with proper ingredients and at a lower temperature.
