I Heart Food

I like to experiment with different flavors and to try to create my own recipes when I cook. Usually it doesn't turn out to be anything special...just average. Not super delicous, but not terrible or inedible.

But every now and then, something turns out so good that I'm just totally blown away!

First there was Peppered Chicken Sauteed in a Peach and White Wine Reduction.

Then, there was Chris' Famous Butter and Garlic Stuffed Steak: a cardiologist's dream! (I'm anxious to try this out with truffle butter...if someone buys me some, I'll cook it for them =p)

Most recently, there was Prawns Sauteed in Homemade Ginger Plum Sauce. Mmmmmm!

But tonight... Best of all! Chris' Chiang Mai Masterpiece - a fairly simple hot pot type dish inspired from the memory of something I ate a few times while in Thailand. Basically, it's just a hodge podge of different flavors: leeks, rice noodles, chicken, trout, homemade fish balls, bean sprouts, cabbage, shitake mushrooms, and a beaten egg, all cooked in a pot of chicken stock, then drained, and covered in my special spicy sauce. OMG!! Best thing ever!!!

I just love food so much :)
