    • “Pineapple Bob” and Poached Pineapple in Vanilla Spiced Syrup

      Let me tell you about “Pineapple Bob”. Well, that’s my secret name for him. Surely he has some eloquent proper Chinese name (which most likely I can’t pronounce anyway) so he will be forever known as pineapple Bob to me. I see him about everyday as I pass by on the street. He sets up…

    • Lychee and Banana Fritters

      I’m very intrigued by lychees. They are what I call “ugly pretty”. Pretty but in an ugly sort of way. Rough and a bit prickly on the outside, but glossy translucent dreamy white on the inside.

It was kind of whispering my name from afar. Just…

    • Blackberry Cobbler

      For weeks it’s been raining in San Francisco. Finally we hit a break this week and the weather yesterday was so amazing. The Husband spent some time cleaning up the garden and spiffing up the backyard. I swear the grill was whispering my name. Calling me, beckoning me to grill a hunk of meat. It just so…
