A few weeks ago I learned how to make Chicken Chasseur, which is a French dish that is kind of like a stew with a chicken cut into 8 pieces. Tonight I did pasta inspired by that recipe using thigh meat that I cut into small pieces.

I made one of our favorites lately – gyudon. It’s easy to make, and it’s a lot healthier than Yoshinoya because I can remove a lot of the fat from the meat before I cook it, and I also skim the fat off the top before serving.
I have to eat it with some greens like Mom always said but can’t forget the shichimi pepper and beni shoga!
Here’s a good recipe if you’re interested in making it for yourself:
Before and after. I think I should skip dinner.
I was at the gas station tonight and saw the taco truck across the street… Darn I only had 1 dollar and no ATMs around.
I got my Macguyver on and bought 3 scratchers with my credit card and proceeded to win 3 dollars.
$3 + $1 = 4 dollars = 4 tacos and one happy fat boy
Thanks for spending all that college tuition on me mom and dad!
Tried a new place since we were out in la Cañada. Had my first pupusas and they were really good. This place had homemade tortillas too.
Nadine has kept in touch with Aarti Sequeira, a person who was involved with a TV feature on Drifting Pretty back in the day. A couple years ago, she started a show (blog) where she would post cooking videos which were more like a variety show. Nadine received an e-mail from her early this year announcing that she’d be a contestant on the Next Food Network Star.
Normally, I don’t watch the Next Food Network Star because I’m not so big on reality talent shows as of late. I actually kind of loathe them. They usually don’t produce the type of talent you see when people become successful through normal means, with a few exceptions.
I knew from her videos that Aarti has a positive bubbly vibe about her and she also has an adorable accent. She’s the nice girl on the show who happens to have issues with being assertive and confident. Turns out she is my absolute favorite personality on the show – I don’t know if it’s because I can relate to her personality or if it’s because of her accent.
Watch the show if you have the chance. I think Aarti is going to win! Also, you can follow her on her blog – she is currently updating even as the episodes air.
Good luck Aarti! Show everybody that nice people don’t always finish last!
