Food Glorious Food

Since I became pregnant,

I've had a hankering for Asian food. Most of the restaurants here in Abilene offer pseudo-asian, very americanised "chinese food", and so a lot of times, I TRY my hand at making comfort food from home. I've gotten better over the years and I guess the biggest test has been if David would eat them ( seeing how they might not be things he might see at a Chinese Buffet place, for example ), and surprisingly enough, he likes most of them! I make sure not to cook anything too funky or "out there" though :)

Anyway, the latest Asian food that I've made are...

Char Kuay Teow ( Letti's Version )




Stir Fry Pepper Pork with Bell Pepper and Onion




Stir Fry Baby Bak Choy with Garlic




Stir Fry Green Beans with Pork and "glass noodles"




Chicken and Potato Curry




Tofu and Salted Mustard Greens Soup




Of course, we can't forget last week's Letti Thursday, since this is a food post after all.


Hush Puppies




Salmon Croquettes




Sweet Corn




Brownies with Cheesecake Swirls

My mom came down for New Years so I got a good fill of Vietnamese food. Yum!

Hi, Letti, this is Chad, Karen's husband. When I first visited Karen in Singapore back in 2006, I loved the variety of foods I had there. I tried so many different things. The only things I didn't like were fishballs and durian. Karen keeps saying I just had bad fishballs and that I need to have a good one before I can judge(I say the same thing to her about fish and chips!). At a Crystal Jade in Singapore, I tried durian pudding. I got through the first two spoonfuls without a problem, but that third one was,"OK, I can't handle this anymore"!

Happy Chinese New Year to you!

Chad
