Feats of Feasts

When I first heard of tomato soup, I thought it was weird because of how ketchup tasted. Isn't tomtato soup just watered down ketchup? My 7 year old mind can't brain it. The most famous brand was of course, Campbells. I tried it....didn't like it. :mrgreen: Of course as I got older, I got wiser. And tomato soup can be such a comforting dish. It's easy to put together from scratch. When tomatoes ... continue reading...

My family don't eat a lot of beef but I kinda think we should because I want to try all sorts of beef recipes. Beef stew is like a recipe every family should have under their belt for those family meals that will keep you sorted for a few days. I like making beef for that exact reason.

You can see from the picture below that this is what it looks like exactly advertised in the ... continue reading...

Heng's pre-packaged stuff had several types that's used for steamed dishes, fried dishes, soups and braised stuff. I wonder if I should try them all just for the heck of it. In the meantime, I bought two types and will ... continue reading...

It is already the month of July through 2017. Where has the time gone???? We say stuff like this every year don't we? Seems like for parents our year is scheduled more around exams and school activities for our kids and then you see that half a year has already gone. So of course, it is time to get back to blogging again, no matter how sporadic my postings may be. ... continue reading...
