Redirecting Perverts to the Refrigerator Since 1999
Jaleo 480 7th St NW Washington, DC 20004 202-628-7949 The occasion for my visit to DC was a somber one. My uncle passed away in November and he was finally able to be buried in Arlington National Cemetery. He was a 30 year Coast Guard veteran and the ceremony was incredible, beautiful and he earned…

I am a noodle whore. A noodle addict. I love noodles. In any form, but especially from the general Asian part of the world and floating in pork-based broth. Ramen makes me so happy. For my 40th birthday, we waited nearly 2 hours for ramen at Orenchi and I was so thrilled to do it….
I got ground pork from my CSA. They have amazing pork. Fatty and delicious. I didn’t want italian food which is what I usually put the pork in so I started searching around Epicurious for ideas. I found Pork and Lemongrass Meatballs in Lettuce Cups. I had all the ingredients aside from the lemongrass. I…
Well, maybe we didn’t really go around the world but our afternoon snack was from Italy, our dinner was from Vietnam. I went to my local market for a days overdue grocery shop. They had a locally grown melon that I, personally, had never seen called piel de sapo or frogskin melon. It is sweet…
We had a full weekend of food, wine and no kid. He went skiing with a friend in Tahoe for the weekend. I don’t think there was a time, aside from when I first woke up, that I wasn’t full and/or a teeny bit tipsy. We didn’t need to drive anywhere, we just needed to…
My husband isn’t a fan of chewing meat off a bone. He was out of town so I thought I’d try out making ribs. I’d never made them before since I too wasn’t a fan of gnawing on bones, but I got over it. My son recently discovered he like chicken wings because you only…
My newest adventure is actually grabbing a recipe from one of the bazillion newsletters I get each day and cooking something from it for dinner that night. One night in and I’m already improvising of course. I never follow recipes! The first recipe was from the Epicurious newsletter: Rigatoni with Spicy Calabrese-Style Pork Ragù The…
Way back in June I took a class from Pim (aka Chez Pim) and immediately after the class started remodeling my kitchen and so I couldn’t make the amazing dishes I’d just learned about. Fast forward to the completion of the kitchen and then my husband got in a motorcycle accident. I couldn’t dive into…
I picked up Andrea Nguyen’s Asian Dumplings cookbook pretty much on a whim a few months ago. We made way too many dumplings and stuffed ourselves (and our neighbors) silly. Not long after that I saw that she was teaching a dumpling class at Love Apple Farm and had to sign up! This has been…
We drove up to San Francisco and met our friends at the Dumpling King for lunch. They’ve been going there for years, we’d never been. Oddly, we’d never been out for dumplings in San Francisco. Only in Sydney. Yes, we travel 7000 miles for Din Tai Fung. This was so much more convenient! ;-) Needless…
Making food in the garage actually hasn’t been that difficult. I can’t make anything that has to simmer for a long period of time (I’ll run out of propane) or go into an oven larger than the toaster oven, but other than that, it’s been working. I made one of our favorites with my CSA…
The first event of the year. Route 1 Farm is just a little way up the coast from Santa Cruz. We left our house when it was sunny and hot. We got 3 blocks from our house and it was socked in fog and freezing. I was numb by the end of the night but…
In December I took a baking class from Pim. You all might already know that I don’t bake but that’s one of the reasons I took the class, to try something new. I still don’t bake but I’ve taught my 7 year old to bake for me. What I do make is soup! What I’ve…
Asian Dumplings: Mastering Gyoza, Spring Rolls, Samosas, and More We were in Bookshop Santa Cruz on Sunday … after coming back downtown to pick up our car we’d left overnight after St. Patrick’s Day celebrations … and I can’t not browse the cookbook section. My husband came up behind me and handed me Asian Dumplings…
