Just
as Fridays are my "pillage the leftovers"
day, Mondays are my "lookit what I cooked over
the weekend!" day. And this weekend I tried a couple
of new things, both of which turned out real nice. The
main item here is crab rangoons,
which are quite easy to make and, IMO, taste just
as good as they do in restaurants. I haven't done the
fancy pinwheel shells because 1) takes up too much bento
space, and 2) how do they fry those without the
filling turning into crud? The other new item on the
menu is latkes, for
the making of which I bought a potato ricer. (Like a
garlic press, but BIG.) And then there's
light-fried
plantain chips and edamame, and
on the other side a bit of almond cake and a fruit
salad with blood orange segments, tangerine
segments, grapes, and pineapple-stuffed rambutans. The
rambutans were canned, and came pre-pineapple-stuffed,
by the way.
Wanna talk
about it?
