Dong Bei Fried Dumpling

I'm not a morning person, and I believe Sundays should be spent at home just lounging but I certainly didn't mind getting up at 7am to go on the Big Binondo Food Wok with my friend, Ice.

Skip sleep for food? Yes, I would.

Hit by (a) Train

I only have 10 minutes before I get ready and leave for the airport so full blog entry on the Save Me, San Francisco Tour experience will have to wait.

Train killed it and Pat sang his face off. I wanna do it again!

Full set in my my facebook account :)

There are so many things you can do with stale bread -- croutons, pudding, relish, cereal, even coffee!
Today, I took a 3-day old baguette and made stove-top quiche.
[side note: It's not really a quiche 'quiche.' 1. It's not baked and 2. the only dairy in the recipe is the cream cheese. I'm lactose intolerant so no milk.] It's easy and makes for a very filling breakfast.

I apologize for the lack of measurements. I'm not very good at quantifying my ingredients but if you know how to make an omelet, you can make this.

What you will need:
• old bread, cubed
• white onion, sliced thinly
• cream cheese, crumbled
• bacon bits
• eggs, beaten

In a non-stick pan, fry the bacon until crisp. Take the bacon out and let cool, leaving the rendered fat in the pan.
Sweat the onion in the bacon fat until translucent, set aside.

Now you start assembling you batter.

In a bowl, combine eggs, bread, cheese, bacon and onion.  Let the batter sit for 5-10 minutes or as soon as you can moosh (is that a word hahaha) your bread. The consistency should resemble that of well, pancake batter.
In the same pan, ladle in the batter and cook slowly, covered.  Once the eggs have set and you have your faux crust slide it out of the pan. Cut into wedges and serve.



Tip: If you are feeling kitschy, you can use cookie cutters to cut your quiche.
Kitschy Quiche!

nothing special ...

... just changing banners. carry on.

What is YOUR definition of a true friend?

someone who's there even when i dont need them, knows me enough not to be confused by my metaphors and understands my autonomy. just someone who gets me without any need for explanation.
