I like food. Food tastes good.

Dear Food Diary,


Following a few boring food weeks, Sarah has been on a crazy recipe-creation kick.  Let me show you them:










That's a relatively standard crab cake (crab meat, mashed potatoes, scallions, cilantro, lime zest and minced chili, panko-crusted & pan fried) on top of a spectacular asian spring-greens salad with sweet quick-pickled red onions and mandarin oranges.  Her dressing was one lime's worth of zest/juice, the rice-vinegar & sugar pickling brine, soy sauce, mandarin orange juice, and olive oil.


It was great -- a sweet, crispy, tangy, slightly spicy feast.  


Tonight, she made a greek turkey-burger.



Unfortunately, turkey isn't all that photogenic.  But the burger was delicious.  Ground turkey tends to dry out, so Sarah increased the moisture content by grating a quarter onion into it and adding worchestershire sauce & lemon juice.


Last week we fell back on one of our favorite standbys: turkey potstickers and non-fried fried rice.





These snakes get high:
