Banksy


At first glance it actually looks like there is a real person painting over it.

japanese dinner



The Yakisoba:
Take stir fry sliced beef and pan fry, add yakisoba sauce for additional flavoring, add diced carrots, zucchini, bok choy, white mushrooms, cabbage, and udon noodles as beef starts to become cooked. do not pre boil noodles. cover your mixture with lid and let the natural steam do the work. Add more yakisoba sauce as needed and spices if desired. Enjoyed with pork dumplings and egg roles. We drank our favorite Japanese beer but also goes well with an ice cold lucky lager.

Enjoy.

italian dinner





Here is an Italian dinner we made:
Started off with a role of fougasse and an olive oil and balsamic dip

the salad:
sliced some vine tomatoes and bocconcini, add basil for a garnish, then drizzle reduced balsamic vinegar & olive oil

the main:
was a tortellini with an artichoke cream sauce, with sun dried tomatoes, and garlic

the dessert:
we cheated here, slightly. the cannoli was from mercato, but we did make the raspberry coulis sauce ourselves. which is basically done by boiling raspberries puree with sugar and water until its sweet enough.

enjoyed with some italian vino (or an ice cold lucky lager)

extremely relaxing
