Making ramen stock from scratch is a labor intensive process. A traditional pork stock for ramen can take up to 12 hours. I don’t have 12 hours during the day to watch after a stock pot (I have a day job), but nobody said I needed 12 continuous hours. In the course of 2 evenings […]
I’ve been busy with getting everything ready for selling my apartment. My kitchen in which I spent 4 years making messes and cooking, won’t be there for me . It’s kind of sad. All those memories, decent food, crappy food, smoke detectors gone wild, fires, knife accidents, degreasing floors constantly, cleaning up… all the time…and […]

Eggs again??? yes… I can’t get enough. Here’s what I did this morning, while going through the fridge, found a few things I could throw together and make breakfast (more like breakfast for lunch). This is like a lazy version of a Tortilla de Patatas and I added a couple of extra goodies in there. […]
Do not stop reading after this off-putting title. Microwaving food has a pretty bad rep, but just because it is associated with heating up frozen dinners, popping corn kernels, making mostly everything put in them soggy or rubbery and on top of that, the evil magnetron that lurks inside produces deadly radiation, it really doesnt […]
