Korean Soft Tofu

There aren't any great Korean restaurant in the city. So it's a treat to enjoy a good Korean soft tofu dinner at Jong Ka Jib Soft Tofu Restaurant, just north of the city. O so tasty! If I have a car, I will go there often.

Peach Picking

It's the lovely season of peaches. Castle and I went to the orchards and did some picking and lots of munching. Quite an enjoyable afternoon picking peaches straight off the trees and taking sweet bites.

I love fish, and the other day, I bought red snapper and porgy fish for the grilling. I rubbed the fish with oil and garlic and lemon, seasoned them with salt. Simple. Then Dr. Castle did the grilling. It was a great meal, and I am definitely going to do more fish grilling.

Homemade Kimchee

My housemate created these beautiful vibrant color jars of fermenting cabbages, Kimchee. I really like the flavours, although they are too spicy for me to handle.

what's cooking...

I bought a pound of dried figs, and is too much to eat them on their own, therefore I decided to use them in a dish. I made pan seared trout topped with figs vinaigrette sauce and walnuts. The figs are quite sweet, good to have them with rice and steamed vegetables.
