Beef Roll Ups

June 5, 2009 – 05:13

Beef Roll Ups are typically served at Teppanyaki restaurants. Teppanyaki is a japanesese style of cooking that involves an iron griddle (the teppan) to cook food.

Lemon Balm Pesto

June 4, 2009 – 06:00

Continuing with the use of Lemon Balm (I made tea before), I made some pesto to go with pasta. Didn’t have any parmesan at home….or pine nuts. So it was pretty basic, just olive oil, lemon balm leaves and some garlic. Toss it into some pasta, yum. First try was light. Second time was a read more »

May 20, 2009 – 07:00

Always looking to save money, I think I’m going to start getting into gardening.

One day after school, I came home to my mom preparing some stuff. The house smelt like curry, so I thought she was making samosas…score I thought! Turned out she was making croquettes.

Pulled an all nighter the other day, so I had time to make a nice breakfast for myself. Kind of a reward I guess. Made hashbrowns…or potato cubes. Diced a potato up into small cubes. Tossed with some oil, salt, pepper and dried herbs. Heat up a pan, throw it in and turn the heat read more »
