Smokey Baked Mac & Cheese and inspiration from Bang Bang Cafe in Seattle, WA

Posted on by • 16 Comments

This recipe marked the first time I’d turned to VegWeb for guidance in years. The veg recipe directory and LiveJournal’s vegan cooking communities were my learn-as-you-go and read-the-comments because you can only-sorta-trust-the-internet tip toes into the vegan culinary world back in the early 2000s. It’s like I can recall mildly freaking out when the number of … Continue reading »

Between us, sometimes I think like a blogger and frame posts in my head. They often never come to fruition for various reasons – my camera died, crap lighting, reserve/manners, annoyance, reality, etc. One thing I’ve enjoyed doing over the years is recreating memorable dishes from restaurants (and carts), but I rarely seem to talk about it on the … Continue reading »

Things got even better with a curious stop at JC Rice Noodle Shop & Restaurant on SE Foster. I was in the area for … Continue reading »

clean out the fridge Pra Ram style noodle dinner

Posted on by • 10 Comments

Quite recently, I purchased peanut butter after forgetting it existed for a couple of months.  I was glad I did, because it came to the rescue the other night on an almost too-warm-to-cook, clean-out-the-fridge-for-dinner evening. I was grasping for ideas and near gasping for breath until I remembered that I had just enough odds and … Continue reading »
