Can never resist new recipes! Awesome Sausage Pie with minced sausage, ricotta & mozzarella cheese, spinach, 6 eggs. And a slow-cooker pork dish simmered with crushed pineapple, along with apple cider vinegar, sherry, garlic, ginger root and brown suger.

country pork ribs, bok choy and fruit salad. I might make some rice or bake a couple of potatoes also. We rarely eat dessert, but we still have left over strawberry cheese pie so will probably have a piece of that as well or hubby will anyway.
Making Samgyetang with cornish hen, not the regular chicken.
I think I'll braised more baby chinese broccoli w/ oyster sauce as a side, maybe fry up some fish cakes, serve up some kimchi too... all to go with rice tonight.
I'm planning to use the leftover Samgyetang & rice to make my abalone porridge tomorrow.... definitely no waste there.
I need to get with the beans and rice program. It seems like a staple for a lot of people. Could someone tell me how to make it, and what you add to it? Is this Hispanic? I'm a Yankee WASP, but I'd like to make it.
I'm sorry for the weird colors in the photo. I took this photo using a new camera app that I'm playing around with...
I cook my beans from scratch (I buy them dry in bulk) in my slow cooker. I don't add anything to them during cooking, because in our family we have some who don't like pork, some who don't like spice, and some with sensitive stomachs. So I make them bland/plain and then we add the toppings ourselves to our own liking. Some beans need soaking and some do not. There's a really great book called Fresh from the Vegeterian Slow COoker that tells all about the different varieties of beans and how to cook them in your slow cooker. I have really found using the slow cooker to be the easiest way to cook beans.

The rice in the above photo is Jasmine rice. My hubby is Thai so fragrant white rice is pretty much a daily staple in our home - we have it every day. We have a Zojirushi rice cooker and it makes awesome rice. It's a very handy appliance, at least when you cook as much rice as we do. (It also makes brown rice, which I personally prefer...)
So... in the above bowl of beans and rice... I topped it with mashed avocados (guacamole), a bit of sour cream, sliced cherry tomatoes, chopped fresh cilantro, a bit of rooster sauce (sriracha hot sauce), and some Yumm! sauce which is a very "Oregon" thing... http://www.cafeyumm.com/our_story.html
You can also pour your favorite soup or chili over the rice and beans, or serve the rice and beans over greens like a salad topper... you can wrap them up in lettuce leaves or tortillas... do some shredded cheese with them... my youngest son (a bit of a weirdo sometimes ) likes his with a bit of BBQ sauce. Our oldest likes his with salsa and shredded cheese.
You can season either the rice or beans with whatever spices or flavors you like... garam masala, curry, saffon, chinese 5 spice, whatever...
I LOVE coconut rice, but it doesn't really go good with beans unless you do small red bean like anasazi with a little sugar... which is more a dessert than a healthy meal.
My Valentine's Day dinner was a lunch meat sandwich. I had steak and shrimp on the menu, but when I got home from work I found out the hubby was sick. No point in feeding someone steak and shrimp when they're not going to hold on to it now is there?
Home made Pizza w/ cheese, artichoke hearts, fresh tomatoes, Portabello mushrooms, olives..
Glass of Merlot..
