  1. Dinner for Dad

    March 31, 2012 by Dan

     

    So my Dad’s birthday just passed, and my family decided to cook him a special birthday dinner. The above was my personal contribution. Recently, I’ve been really trying to clean up my diet and eat as healthy as possible, which is reflected in the dishes that I cooked. For example, I had a great deal of veggies (spinach, peppers, red onions) that I lightly sauteed in a small amount olive oil. For protein, I made the salmon hibachi-style substituting olive oil in place of butter. I began by frying the skinned filets in the oil. Before flipping the filet, I poured the sauce onto the raw side before sear-sealing the flavor into the meat, which allowed the meat to hold the juices and flavors while keeping it from being too dry.

    Overall

    The dishes I made were a hit, and I managed to make everything pretty flavorful without the use of additional seasonings. The spinach was light and slightly sweet with the help of the onions and peppers, while the salmon was soy and citrus flavored.

  2. Itis Burger Creation

    May 4, 2011 by Dan

     

    First and foremost, I would like to credit my good friend Arthur as my partner in creative crime for the birth of this wonderful blight to human arteries. Our brainchild was created during our finals week and we had some scraps of assorted things that we needed to get rid of  so we decided to use my leftover pound of ground beef to make burgers. And this burger turned out to be one of the most delicious burgers that we have probably eaten in our entire (albeit short) lives. There ARE secret ingredients involved in the conception of this burger, and I’m not going to be the weakest link in divulging that information. So the only information I can share about this burger is that one of the key components is the use of ECONOMY BACON. This ingredient is of absolute importance as it is integral to every step of making this burger. It is absolutely paramount that ECONOMY bacon is used, NOT that fancy applewood stuff. The result is a burger so juicy that it induces immediate lethargy and laziness. This burger should NOT be consumed in high quantities as it may result in a loss of productivity and usefulness at varying levels per individual.

  3. Homemade Parfait

    March 10, 2011 by Dan

     

    So I was hungry, and so I made a parfait, minus the granola since I wasn’t in the mood. I started with plain Chobani greek yogurt, drizzled honey over it, then sprinkled it with pomegranate flavored dried cranberries and sliced dried mango. YUM!
