cooking without fear
As part of a continuing series where I talk about strange-looking things that can be found in my fridge/freezer/pantry, I offer this image — one that surely perplexed my roommates when they saw it on my shelf last week.
Eyeballs? Frog eggs? What is this and why was it in my fridge?
Missouri is very capricious when it comes to weather, so we relish every warm, sunny day we get. For us, that means barbecuing.
Well, when Missouri graced us with nearly a week of sunshine we grew tired of burgers, brats and Italian sausage. To mix things up one evening, we had a Thai-inspired barbecue.
As seen on the plate, we had ground pork kebabs with a soy/chili/cilantro sauce, rice, crab wontons and cole slaw with a sesame-ginger dressing.
The wontons and cole slaw were the product of our own experimentation, as most of our recipes are, but this time we didn’t keep track of what we did. The kabobs came from a Thai cookbook, so you can absolutely recreate those.
