Seafood Market? In Austin? YAY!

05Nov09

I went to Whole Foods Thanksgiving Feast sample event. There were way too many people there and the lines were ridiculously long. I did not see regular Whole Foods shoppers there… there were some people who did not belong… like ginormous people… ugh. I think the best “food” I had was the mushroom sage gravy. [...]

Thai Red Curry with Seafood

06Oct09

I don’t like curry at all. I don’t eat Indian food and when I do eat Thai food, I avoid the curry. But since I told myself that I should give certain foods that I don’t like another chance, I decided to make Thai red curry tonight for dinner.
The smell is definitely very aromatic – [...]

Crispy Atlantic Salmon with Garden Vegetables

21May09

I love eating the crispy skin of the salmon. I forgot to buy finger potatoes when I was at Whole Foods this morning, so I roasted tomatoes, bell peppers, and zuccini as something to go with the salmon. Baby back ribs are on sale [$9.99 $5.99] at Whole Foods and I bought 2 racks! I’m [...]

Broiled Oysters

21Nov08

I was going to eat this raw and make the same sauce that I had at Eddie V’s but after seeing the Whole Foods seafood guy shuck the oysters on the same cutting board with the fish that I bought… I thought it would have been unsanitary.
I have no idea how to cook oysters so [...]

Frozen Tiramisu

18Sep08

This is my fourth time making tiramisu but I still cannot get it to the correct consistency before chilling it. I have to put it in the freezer because if I didn’t, it would be all sloppy and mushy. When I take it out of the freezer, I allow it to thaw for 1-2 minutes [...]
