Porridge (vanilla) and apples with cinnamon
This is my husband's favorite dessert. When he sees vanilla rice porridge at the grocery, he would always ask me to place some in our cart. He's like a kid when he's having his porridge. Not only that he enjoys it like a kid while eating it, he would always say: "my grandma would always make this porridge for me" and that would be followed by his visits to Oma (grandma) what other food she would prepare for him and so forth.
Since my other half l

Here's another very simple fried rice flavor I made few weeks ago. I had extra slices of fresh salmon and tuna, cooked rice from the night before and with one look at my husband's hungry face I immediately , rather automatically, reached out for the wok! Fast, no fuss recipe!

This is one of those few foods I will surely not make for my husband as he does not eat raw fish. And this is exactly what I prepared for myself for the first time last week when my husband was in the US for a business trip.
The idea of making it actually begun when I saw Kris' (a blogger friend) sushi rolls which looked so nice! And then Girlie, another friend challenged me to make them.
I simply followed an online sushi making video and I must admit that I enjoyed making this. My fill

My Saturdays were usually spent visiting the next city with my husband, we would usually shop and just enjoy the day together. But last Saturday he was still in the USA so I had the chance to do some blog hopping. One blog that I was able to hop was Weng's and read about her Spam Musubi entry. The moment I saw them I couldn't stop from smiling because her presentation was so good that you'd think it was done by a Hawaiian who truly loves anything with spam! And then I remembered that just few we

Rice I prepared on Christmas dinner last year.
I have posted an almost the same recipe back in February 2005. Why not compare them so you'll see the difference. If you ask me which one I prefer, I must admit this recent entry is my answer. This recipe is simple even a child can prepare this. Just do the slicing of ingredients, will you? *wink*
What you need, serves 3 persons:
1 tsp minced garlic
1 tbsp unsalted butter
1 medium chopped onion
1 -2 tsp curry powder
1/4 -1/2 cup coconut m

Note: I have posted this recipe in the past. This post has more to do with new photo of the meal that I've taken. I have been experimenting with food photography so you will see more meals from the archive.
Me: Wat wil je vanavond eten? (what do you want to eat tonight?)
Husband: Knoflook rijst (Garlic Rice)
Me: met wat daarbij? (with what?)
Husband: zoete vlees (sweet marinated pork or Tocino)
Me: komt voor elkaar (it'll be done)
Short is how our conversation normally goes when he knows what

Here's another easy way to enjoy left over rice and a bunch of shrimps chilling in the freezer. I guess I'm lucky that my husband really loves Asian food, particularly rice. He's quite different from some Dutch people that I know who do not eat rice, that bread and potato are their only staple food. If I was married to a non-rice eater then I think our food budget will be too expensive because as an Asian, I must eat rice at least a few times in a week. Before I got married, I had rice 2x a day
