I've never eaten banh mi before. Shameful, I know. Happily, I corrected that little problem earlier this afternoon at Baoguette, a Vietnamese sandwich shop in Gramercy that Kendrick frequents for lunch.
My First Banh Mi Made Me Very Happy
Recipes
Chicken w/ White Wine, Peas & Shallots
Very excellent, flavorful stuff, and very easy - about 35 minutes start-to-finish, and about $20 for the whole shebang (serves 2 with potential for leftovers).
Stovetop Steak
Last night I was sans husband, so I decided to make my favorite favorite favorite meal: Steak 'n' Potatoes For One. I love this meal, and I love it my way: extremely salty, buttery and garlicky. I also want to eat it all, which is why I prefer to make it when no one else is around.
Oh, Doctor Guava Sangria
I cobbled together this recipe based more or less on whatever I had in my refrigerator already (I ran out to the store for guava juice and strawberries, because I think it's inexcusable not to include those two ingredients in summer sangrias), and it is perfection in a glass (or, in this case, Mason jar).
Century Eggs / Whoa
Pictured after the jump (because while this stuff doesn't bother me, I may be in the minority here) is something called a "Century Egg", which I've heard mentioned from time to time, particularly in reference to congee mix-ins (according to some, congee isn't complete without the addition of one of these).
