Favorite food- I had to look it up, but it's Tom Ka Gai "Thai hot-and-sour soup with chicken, herbs, and lime juice in light creamy coconut milk broth." So says my favorite Thai restaurant's website (usually I just refer to it as #22)
Favorite family thing- We haven't all gotten out together much, but we all have a blast at the train park. DH went there as a little kid and Titus thinks it's the bees knees.
what's an average family dinner around your house? Depending on how much energy I have
It can range from marinated tandori chicken with spiced lentils to crock-pot chili that I barely had to touch. I'll almost always make something fresh and from scratch though. So the super-easy chili would be accompanied by cornbread. A super lazy night would be to defrost some shrimp and serve it cold with coctail sauce (ketchup, vinager and horseradish) and steam some broccoli.
do you have a "signature" dish? something people are always asking you to make? My brownies are sinfully good.Just a super simple recipe that turns out every time. I gave some to my neighbor and sahe said her 3yo reacted like it was crack. DH really likes the sesame lamb shanks though.
what's the most ambitious thing you've ever made? That's a tough one. I don't think cooking is
hard, just that it takes strict adherence to the recipe for the first couple times and usually a good amount of attention and time. There have been a couple cake incidences where I think I expected more out of the final result than the time I allotted allowed. Like the time I convinced some Canadian friends that the cake I brought over and had tried to frost before it cooled (in the name of getting there on time for dinner) was actually "cake soup". I actually brought it in a bowl with the layers all broken up and the frosting all warm and runny, They just figured it was an American thing and boy was it tasty! Then there was the 3 layer cake that was only 4.5 inches wide and I had to take it in the car all wobbly and tall, didn't think that one through.
Most ambitious expectation out of the people EATING my food was the Thai pumpkin soup I made at Thanksgiving one year. There were a few younger people (8-12 years) and a few old stubborn types and some fairly "white bread" middle agers. It smells great if you're used to fish sauce and is the typical runny brown color of something with coconut milk and peanut butter. I made a huge pot with the expectation of taking basically all of it home. There was none left! The next year I had dinner with part of that crowd and someone asked me to bring it again!
If you could make a documentary film about ANYTHING what would it be? DO you already know a lot about this subject or would you be all new to it?- You now, I put something else, but the more I thought about it, the more obvious it seemed: The Role of Women Through History. There would be a lot new to me because there is a lot of time and places to learn from. It kind of seems to upset DH when I describe how women were treated so poorly during some times and places because some of the examples he didn't know about and sometimes he'll even try to disagree with me!
Thanks about the hair! I am really likeing this haircut too. I'm usually so transient with my hair but I've stuck with this style for a whole 6 months already!
