Chocolate Almond Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

I've decided to not let my broken camera deter me from posting. I hereby happily embrace MS PAINT! (yes, im a pc and proud of it!)

Wheatberry & Shitake Salad

It's taken me 25 years to discover that chinese mushrooms (冬菇) and shitake mushrooms are the same thing. It's just that I soak dried shrooms to reconstitute them, instead of buying them fresh from the store.

Barley & Lentil Soup

There's not much you can do with smoked hog necks... 'cept make some zuppa with whatever vegetables you have after a week.

Kalbi, part deux (Korean short ribs)

This is for you, SS. Made the marinade last night for this from memory and though it was good, it wasn't as good as when I followed this recipe verbatim. Subbed 1/4 c beer for the asian pear. If you make the short rib slices thin, it cooks quicker (2 min tops).

Sad that Vicki's camera is broken. =(
