Wedding "Junk" Food Photo Montage
A photo montage from our wedding, as shot by Tyson Trish Photographer. This is not a gourmand post at all but a celebratory post in honor our (George and my) Green Bay Packers for winning the Super Bowl!

Asian Recipes
I haven't opened this email properly yet from one of the groomsmen in our wedding this past summer but he's willing to teach me and George "how to cook Asian." He even wants to teach us "how to shop in an Asian supermarket" which is truly something I could use advice on.
There's a fantastic one in East Hanover,NJ Kamman Food. I discovered it, by accident, when I went for pizza went I worked in the area about 6 years ago in the same shopping center. And while it's VERY out of the way for us now, it's worth it. I go in there for loose tea and gadgets like tea pots and strainers. The Asian market in our neighborhood in Central NJ has been torn down and we don't know when or if it's going back up.
Back to these Asian Recipes. I'm toggling back and forth from the email while I'm posting this. There are 13 (lucky in this month of the Asian New Year) of them. When we visit our groomsman next weekend, I think we're in for some shopping and choppin'.
The foods we are to prepare us range from Kimchi Jigae ( kimchi stew ) which our friend says is a "great winter stew" to Korean Egg Dishes. That second one is a hard sell for me but I'll give it a whirl. In the eastern land of culinary cooking, I learn towards Japan and away from Korea. I just can't handle the fermentation in their cooking techniques. I'm all about sweet and sour but fermentation just takes it to another level I'm not prepared to go to yet.
Next weekend, I'll post an update on how the Trip to Eastern Cooking School went.

New Year, New Blog Format
What a long, strange, trip it has been. I'm now married. Enough said.
This time last year, I was told there JUST enough time to order my wedding dress for my wedding 8 MONTHS away. That was the first of rapid fire decisions and a "binder" that became bigger and more stuffed with receipts I was happy to shred when George and I returned from our honeymoon.
Now my life happily consists of, among other things multiple trips to the grocery store during the week to master the art of cooking. There's more to that though, there's also Netflix directly to our Samsung Blu Ray Player (thank you gift cards when our DVD player died!).
My husband is very happy to eat my experiments and regular standard dishes, just the same. However, there are nights, like the last, when we worked late and decided to go to our "usual" place: RED ROBIN (YUM). George got his usual, the Bonsai. I've been trying a different burger each time.
This week, I tried the Royal Red Robin. It consists of a fried egg, apple-wood smoked bacon and cheddar cheese. I think I'm going to have to grow an apple-wood tree in my yard some day, I just love that taste it makes meat have. I was really full eating just half of it so there's leftovers for today. Hopefully I can reheat without drying it out.
