Kimbap is like Korean sushi, except it doesn’t really taste much like sushi.

As with any roast, maybe better than the main meal are the leftovers.
Late last week I remembered that St. Patrick’s Day was coming up and that’s a corned beef holiday. So I started looking for some corned beef.
I didn’t plan anything for dinner Friday, so semi-last minute, Mark suggested we grill. We defrosted a couple of sausages and sliced a butternut squash.
I’ve been trying to put fish on our menu once or twice a week, but with two kids, etc., we don’t get to the fish monger or butcher or whole foods frequently to get fresh fish. Sometimes we have something frozen, but more often than not, fish night means something from a can, usually tuna melts or salmon patties. Last night it was tuna melts!
Whenever we make rice I try to cook extra, for C’s lunch or snack or for a fried rice dinner. Tonight, it’s fried rice!
I am one of those people who really wants to cook with tofu but has had a hard time making something that I really want to eat. But that’s changed. Two things: first, I found this really amazing, delicious tofu, Tofu Yu from Berkeley. But even without this great tofu, the second thing: preparation method. I read a couple of things about making fried tofu and it’s made all the difference. I don’t follow all of the steps but it works anyway.
Cube or otherwise cut the tofu and let it rest on a towel, with another towel on top. No need to press. I left this tofu to drain for a couple of hours.
We love quiche but recently figured out that our oldest son, C, is sensitive to dairy, so I’ve been on the lookout for a dairy-free alternative. I finally decided I should make a frittata after a bit of inspiration from Food52.
