Pancit

Saturday, May 17th, 2008

Yesterday I spent nearly the whole day cooking pancit canton - enough pancit for us and to give to our landlady upstairs and to my mom! It was Trevor’s birthday and when there’s birthday there has to be long noodles.

It was a lovely simple […]

The falafel is one of Lebanon’s (and in the rest of the Middle East) most popular dishes, also very widely known in many parts of the world. I found a recipe for felafel in a Lebanese cookbook, and also found a similar recipe for a dish using chicken and pistachio nuts.
Since Trevor is quite fond […]

Lectures, Coke, Cooking

Monday, August 27th, 2007

Our lecture at UP last Saturday turned out very well. It was very difficult getting up in the morning to be there before 9AM - in fact, Trevor and I practiced starting Monday by setting the alarm at 12, then 11, 10, 9, 8, and finally 7 AM.
Of course, Edward has written about […]
