Paper Chicken
There is a food site that sends me a list of new recipes every day. It's called Ptitchef. A few days ago, I found this recipe there. Hubby remembered those days when his grandma used to bring these home every time she visited his family way back when he was a child. I asked him what they tasted like and he said he didn't know, only that it tasted really good. Anyway, I decided to give them a try.
Paper Chicken.
The recipe is here. I used 4 pieces of chicken legs and back cut into two pieces, marinated them and then wrapped them in parchment paper. Aaarghhh! My parchment paper ran out and I didn't want to use wax paper. Then I remembered I had some parchment paper somewhere, stashed with my other cake decorating stuff. Aaahhh! I managed to find some but there was still one more piece unwrapped. Eh? What was that peeping out from under the microwave oven?? Yayy! The last piece of parchment paper!! Yup, we are all done. Generally, I don't really like fried stuff but Hubby likes them so here we go, lots of oil in the wok and in go the wrapped up pieces three at a time. How do you know if it is cooked? I don't know, just use your cooking sense of how long it has been in the oil.
Finally they were all done and here is one of the pieces unwrapped!
The chicken mystery unraveled.
Lemon Chicken and Pork Pizza…
Wifey's version of Lemon Chicken. 
Lemon Chicken wifey's style. Prepared on August 14, 2009.
Pork Pizza with Tomato Paste.
Pork Pizza with Tomato Paste. We ran out of minced beef, so wifey thought to substitute it with pork! It was equally delicious. 
Prepared on August 26, 2009.
Pork Pizza sans tomato paste.
Another version of the Pork Pizza without tomato paste. Another mouth-watering version. Prepared on August 26, 2009.
The Moon…
The moon on August 9, 2009.
I was watching TV on August 9 when my eye wandered over to the patio, and then the sky, and lo and behold, a glorious sight of the moon! Alright, alright, it was just a moon. Heck, it could have been like any other moon on any other time of the week. But there was something about this moon on this particular night, so I went to grab my digital camera, set the exposure low, tried to hold it as steady as I could (with a little assistance from, the wall), and well, the result above speaks for itself. I had many other shots, but the way the moon and the clouds came together for this one made it the winning shot.
Putting on the calories… more foooood! :P
Cheese sticks by wifey!
Prepared on August 9. Cheesy sticks of bread.
Yummy pieces of smoked salmon.
Yummy piece of smoked salmon up-close.
Prepared on August 9 as well. I have always loved dried (jerky anyone?) and/or smoked meat, so wifey does spoil me from time to time.
Anderson’s Home-made Unagi Sushi Rolls… yummm :P
Yummy broiled eel and avocado encased in rice and seaweed.
Unagi is basically "broiled fresh water eel". I had prepared this delicacy on August 7, 2009. Yes, I am a big fan of Japanese food. Well I am a big fan of seafood in general, and an even bigger fan of anything roasted, broiled, fried, or barbequed! Yum! Anyway, the following is a quick list of ingredients used:
1 cup Sushi Rice (Kokuho Rose)
2 cups of water
2 Tbsp of Seasoned Rice Vinegar (Mitsukan)
6 sheets of roasted seaweed (Takaokaya Yakinori Tokusen)
1 Avocado
Broiled Fresh Water Eel
The Takaokaya roasted seaweed comes in an affordable pack of 50 sheets. I had bought it at T&T Supermarket in Metrotown awhile back.
