In our culture we do engagement ceremonies to assure both families that the wedding is coming. This past weekend I got to experience a mix of both cultures. Vietnamese and Laotian combined. It was beautiful, I loved every minute of it. It's a new <br />chapter of their lives and I'm so grateful to be apart of their story.<br /><a href="http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=13/07/01/1266.jpg"><img border="0" height="281" src="http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/13/07/01/s_1266.jpg" style="margin: 5px;" width="210" /></a><br /><br />emmyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12855833174863346402noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5357838470930903771.post-40272376403688183782013-06-23T13:03:00.000-05:002013-06-25T13:06:00.306-05:00be strongOne of my besties had surgery over the weekend. It wasn't any broken bone or anything along that lines, but surgery to remove her cancer. Upon entering the hospital, I felt so uncomfortable. I hate hospitals. It makes me feel uneasy inside. Even walking down the empty halls to her room, gave me a nauseous feeling. I prepped myself to see her. Knowing myself, I could've drop loads of tears but I held strong. To see a loved one undergo surgery for something as scary as cancer is very scary. Happy thoughts had to be there, happy happy happy thoughts. I smiled as much as I could. Just to let her know everything will be okay. If she wasn't worried, I shouldn't either. I could sense some of the girls had the same feelings I held inside. We couldn't do anything but be there in her presence for support.<br />I have good girlfriends. Really good ones. <br /><br /><br /><center><a href='https://picasaweb.google.com/118178820489902015219/EverydayDetour?authkey=Gv1sRgCNrxpNLrrrXvAQ#5893483507946069170'><img src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcfZxJDor262mea1MpUo-cvz16M7Y5hUNUXRJ0iAKdN0wb4-bF-XM1Oi2mwCnq_BETrXY-pKLaURYJh077DMzwZ0cMxeKCzQGm4bzqbTnLTbjjAQptMXLhnCtAnqIEoNrAUpbNAfdwbTs/s288/3.jpg' border='0' width='210' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br />emmyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12855833174863346402noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5357838470930903771.post-30190340732708919942013-06-16T21:44:00.004-05:002013-06-16T21:44:49.203-05:00eventful--<div style="text-align: center;">

What I've learned in the last 25 years is that, anytime your parents ask you to do something.. you do it. Anytime they ask you to hang out, go eat, shopping, whatever it is, you do it. </div>

Hug them goodbye when you leave, and give em a kiss on the cheek any chance you get.</div>

Minnesota's weather has been a bit bizarre lately..but then again, its like this everywhere. All the gray skies are making me miss being by the ocean.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
SO, with that being said, I made this lovely crock pot chicken that is absolutely delightful. It fills my taste buds with sunshine.<br />
Super simple, super tender, super delish.<br />

Ingredients:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2 tsp paprika</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1 tsp chili powder </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1 tsp salt</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1 tsp thyme </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1 tsp onion powder</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1.5 tsp garlic powder</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1 tsp black pepper</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2 gloves garlic</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1/2 chopped onions</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1 Medium chicken.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Mix the seasonings together. Wash and clean chicken, remove extra giblets if any. Pat dry and rub the chicken generously all over with the seasonings. Rub under skin and inside cavity. Mince garlic and rub the inside of the cavity with it. (<span style="font-size: x-small;">If you don't have time to refrigerate it over night so the flavors seep in you can totally skip it</span>) Chop your onions and place them on the bottom of your crock pot.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Set chicken on top and cover. Low for 6-8 hours or High for 4. </div>

<br /></div>
Its been so nice out lately that I've been trying so hard not to stay in. I see rain in the forecast for the next couple of days and it looks like time for more cooking.<br />
<div>
The other day I attempted my 3rd try at making brisket. It turned out good.. but not good enough. Until its up there in my taste buds, I'll keep doing it until I get it right!!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div>
---A quick snack or served with rice.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I love the boyfriends mom for always teaching me how to cook. She knows I enjoy and she loves to teach. Very precise. The only thing I need to practice on is taste. Its not all about the ingredients, its about knowing the taste to make it right.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So here's my attempt to make some Riblets. <i>Delish'</i> I tell ya.</div>
<div>

<div>
<div>
Ingredients:</div>
<div>
1 lbs riblets </div>
<div>
2 tbs sugar</div>
<div>
1 tbs salt</div>
<div>
3 tbs oyster sauce<br />
<div>
3 tbs fried garlic</div>
<div>
2 tbs fresh minced garlic</div>
<div>
1 tsp fish sauce</div>
<div>
1 tbs soysauce</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Cut and trim the riblets. Brine with salt for about 2 minutes. Remove water. Add to pot with clean water and boil until all the meat changes color. Discard the dirty water and rinse the riblets with cool water. Place riblets in a small pot and add enough water to cover the meat or atleast 1inch from the bottom of the pot. Add in sugar, salt, oyster sauce, fresh garlic, fried garlic and fish sauce. Cover and simmer Medium heat for about 45mins-1hour or until tender. Do not open the pot, just shake it a little to shake up the ingredients. Open the pot and Add 1 tbs soysauce, leave it open until the water evaporates. -- You can leave it saucy or Add oil and fry it up until golden brown or however you like. Please flavor it to your liking.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Enjoy it as a snack or with rice!! </div>

Easy, breezy!<br />
<br />
This meal takes just about 30mins to make. Normally I love eating red rice with steak, but the Boyfriend loves rotisserie chicken straight from the supermarket. Anything goes, its all up to you. It took me a few times to get down the taste that I wanted, but hey, trial and error makes perfect!<br />

<br />
<br />
Grill / Boil Sweet Corn<br />
<br />
For Green Onion Spread:<br />
Chop the desired amount of green onions you would like to use [ I love using a lot on one corn so I would typically use 3-5 stalks!]<br />
<br />
Heat up pan and add olive oil / butter. Saute green onions with a few dashes of salt.<br />
Simmer and serve within 5-7 mins.<br />
<br />
Delish!!<br />

Easy ingredients and I was done within a good hour!<br />
<br />
I love the combination of everything a pate-chaud has to offer. Flaky and moist with a savory meat filling. The Boyfriend's mom is a wonderful cook. Over the years of being with him, everytime she makes these, I devour them like crazy. I've learned a lot of recipes from her but this is one of the Boyfriend's favorite. This recipe has a hint of curry, a nice delight to the regular.<br />
<br />
[Curry Pate-Chaud , Boyfriend's Mother's Recipe] -- absolute perfection. simple & savory<br />

[36 pate-chaud]</div>
<br />
--ingredients:<br />
2 pkg Pastry Puff Sheets<br />
1lbs ground pork<br />
1 small onion [chopped] or 1/2 large onion<br />
1/2 tbs cornstarch<br />
3 tbs water<br />
3 tsp curry powder<br />
1 tsp msg [optional]<br />
2tbs soy sauce<br />
1/2 tbs salt<br />
1 tbs sugar<br />
1/2 tsp pepper<br />
2 eggs seperated in two small bowls.<br />
<br />
Pre-heat over at 400 degrees, spray butter spray onto cookie sheet aside.<br />
<br />
Thaw pastry sheets and cut into thirds, there should be a total of 9 squares.<br />
Combine pork and all ingredients except for the two egg yolks. Mix well with hand.<br />
Add about a teaspoon- 1/2 tablespoon of meat in center of pastry square and fold diagonally. press edges with fork for a pretty appearance. brush egg yolk over pastries a nd place on cookie sheet and place in oven.<br />
<br />
Bake for 20-25 minutes and VOILA!<br />
<br />
<br />
I also make the regular pate-chaud, instead of 3tsp of curry powder, replace it with a can of pate. You can find it at your local oriental grocery market.<br />
<br />
Enjoy!</div>
