Easy Single Cup Eggnog Recipe – Hello Holidays.
Cooking, Health October 21, 2012
Confession: I love eggnog. Even when I thought “real” eggnog came from a Meadow Gold carton, I downed that mofo like it was going out of season (oh… I guess it was…). However, now that I’m on the East Coast, I have the sudden urge to be more traditional and that means not getting that thick yellow stuff off the shelf. Instead, I decided to live dangerously (yes, we’re talking about salmonella dangerous) and whip up some homemade eggnog–the real kind, with the raw eggs and all.

Actually, I stood in the line of fire. My friend’s mom asked Ellis what she was going to be for Halloween, and Ellis said, “a penguin.” Then I said, “yeah, I think I’ll make her costume this year.” My friend’s mom broke into a foreboding laugh and said, “did you start yet?”

Steel Cut Oatmeal Breakfast Recipe
Cooking, Health February 4, 2010
I learned how to make oatmeal from my China-born parents. I admit, Chinese do eat some strange things for breakfast. But when I made my first bowl of American oatmeal according to the directions, I said to myself “is this what oatmeal is suppose to taste like?” It tasted, well, flat. And pasty.
