Green Papaya Salad
I'm going to make vietnamese green papaya salad with shrimp as an appetizer this weekend.
In The Scent of Green Papaya, there’s a scene where a woman (Mùi) is preparing papaya the traditional way, holding it in front of her, one hand holding the papaya and the other wielding a knife, tapping and quickly cutting and shredding perfect, julienned strips of papaya — no cutting board, no mandoline and no Cuisinart... (written by holybasil.wordpress.com)
My recipe: Shredded Green Papaya with fresh chilies, minced shallots, shrimp, shredded carrots, asian basil leaves, lemongrass, fish sauce, and coarsley chopped roasted peanuts.

The french have beautiful traditions....
I saw a picture of a traditional beautiful french wedding cake called a croquembouche and I thought about my own wedding day 9.3 years ago. For our Tenth Anniversary, I decided I would like to have this cake made and to celebrate it with an intimate group of friends. The word play as defined by the french is a traditional cake for weddings and christenings . Croquembouche comes from the French "croquant" meaning crackling and "bouche" for mouth. Thus croquembouche refers to the crackling in your mouth when eating this traditional dessert. It's simply profiterols or as some may know it as: creme pattissiere, or choux pastry stuffed with pastry cream, and spun caramel that has been crystalized to look like angel hair.

The Year of the OX- 2009
2009 is the Year of the OX...or Buffalo. As a child born in the year of 1973, I am therefor an ox.
The Ox, or the Buffalo sign symbolizes prosperity through fortitude and hard work. Those born under the influence of the Ox or Buffalo are fortunate to be stable and persevering. The typical Ox is a tolerant person with strong character. Not many people could equal the resolution and fearlessness that the Ox exhibits when deciding to accomplish a task. Ox people work hard without complaints at work or at home. They know that they will succeed through hard work and sustained efforts, and do not believe in get-rich-quick schemes.
What is your Chinese Zodiac Sign??
