Weekend Herb Blogging # 17 – Carrots
January 28, 2006 | Filed Under Weekend Herb Blogging | Leave a Comment
I like carrots in salads (oh, so colorful and crunchy!), soups, and I can’t forget cake. Hmmm… I should try to make a carrot cake sometime. I’ve never made that before.
There’s only one thing I don’t like about carrots — carrot juice. Can’t drink it.
Carrots are rich in good stuff for the body like anitoxidants, beta carotene, vitamin A and dietary fiber. And let’s not forget: If you like to build snowmen, they make an excellent nose for the snowman. 
The chicken pieces are covered with pepper, salt and chicken spice of choice. Onions are sauteed in olive oil, then the chicken added. Later, the carrorts, peppers, tomatoes, potatoes, tomato paste and a chicken maggie cube are included. Allow the food to cook till ready. Serve with rice.
You can substitute the chicken with any kind of meat or fish.

Five Food Challenges for 2006
January 24, 2006 | Filed Under Memes | Leave a Comment
Okay. So, Ed Charles of Tomatom has tagged me for this Five Food Challenges for 2006 meme. Thanks, Ed. Here it goes:
1- I’ve been cooking for a whole year now. I’d like to refine the meals I’ve learned make. Keep getting better at what I cook.
2- I’d like to continue to make different recipes. I’ve recently received new cookbooks on Austrian, French, and Spanish cuisine. I look forward to trying the recipes from these books this year.
3- Bake. I want to learn to bake some really cool stuff, like the things I see on Cindy’s Kitchen, KUIDAORE, Cream Puffs in Venice, and many of the other blogs. Okay, I know I’ve set my goals pretty high for a beginner but I’ve stated before that all the bloggers are inspiring.
4- I’d like to delve into Asian cuisine. Haven’t tried that yet. I would like to make at least one simple yet tasty dish.
5- Continue my quest to make a decent parathas and meat and dessert empanadas.
I tag:
Angelika of The flying Apple (I know the memes are piling up now! Take your time. )
Raquel of Raquel’s Box of Chocolate
Tülin of Domestic Cat
Pat of Up a Creek without a PatL
Magnus of Tummyrumble
