Sushi Bowl

As you all may know, I recently bought way too much smoked salmon for two people in my household… and hubby doesn’t even like salmon that much!! He would eat it, just not on its own. I think he’s weird. So I was busy making salmon dishes and thanks to all of you, my previous Smoked Salmon Appetizers and Salad blog post made it to FoodBuzz Top 9! Thank You, Merci, Muchos Gracias, Terima Kasih, Shie Shie and Arigato to all of you! I’ve decided to save this dish for last and to feature it on its own because it … Continue reading Sushi Bowl

Smoked Salmon Appetizers and Salad

Earlier this week, while shopping for some smoked salmon so we can have a healthy salad for dinner – I was stuck in a serious dilemma at the supermarket for a good 3 minutes! You see, I only needed 200g of smoked salmon to make my salad. But, I’ve worked it out that if I buy 200g only, the price per kg was $60! On the other hand, buying a whole 1kg packet of smoked salmon was only $30/kg. There is another twist – the 1kg bag was on special because it has already been thawed and therefore I could not … Continue reading Smoked Salmon Appetizers and Salad

What To Do With Leftover Roast Lamb

A couple of weeks ago, I bought a massive boneless leg of lamb from CostCo and left it in the office freezer. Over the weekend, I decided to take the lamb (now frozen) home and planned to quickly put it back in the freezer at home before it thawed. After all, I could not possibly cook the lamb for just the two of us.. this could easily feed 8 hungry people! But… DOH! I took it out of the car (in an environmental friendly shopping bag) and just left it there on my office chair and forgot to put it … Continue reading What To Do With Leftover Roast Lamb

Epic Meal Time Inspired Feast

Have you seen the Epic Meal Time YouTube Channel? I’ve only been introduced to this by one of hubby’s friends recently – when a bunch of guys came over to help hubby with some work in our backyard, they specifically asked if I could prepare an “Epic Meal Time” dinner feast for them once they’ve finished working hard. I had no idea what he was talking about, but I said “ok” anyway. He gave me two clues “meat” and “quantity”.. I still went “OK” without doing my research on the internet, lol. So, just based on what I was told … Continue reading Epic Meal Time Inspired Feast
