Candy sushi

No, there isn’t raw fish in these Rice Krispies treats, just good old fashioned marshmallows, Swedish Fish candies, and Fruit by the Foot (or Fruit Roll-Ups).

Cup Noodle Vending Machine:

Instant noodle maker Nissin is giving away these vending machines as a promotional campaign.

“It’s small enough to fit on a counter top, and includes a hot water thermos and storage for up to four Cup Noodle bowls with a dispenser. It even has an automatic timer that’ll beep when three minutes is up and your food is ready to eat.” (link)

Couple thoughts:  1) this is one way to complicate a really easy just add water and wait 3 minutes insta meal and 2) who eats FOUR cups of these noodle bowls? and who eats them often enough to warrant having one of these?

UPDATE:  I found a “how to” video

One way to avoid crime: camouflage!

Guess the fake vending machine:

Aya Tsukioka, a Japanese experimental fashion designer, has developed a line of camouflage for crime worried citizens. The designs include soda and vending machines, fire extinguisher bookbags for kids, and even a purse that resembles a manhole.

I’m sorry I totally snorted laughing when I saw this.  (esp that poor kid forced to pose with his face towards the bushes!)  Those better be some damn stupid muggers….

The Hungry Korean did Xmas dinner and finally posted 3 weeks later..tee hee

Better late than never I say (and I’m sure you have all been waiting with baited breath. Ha!). So here’s the dinner I served my family Xmas day and promised to post pictures of.

I started with an appetizer of puff pastry cups stuffed with spinach sauteed with garlic and shallots, crispy bacon, blue cheese and dried cranberries. Quite delicious if I must say so myself!!

For main, I did my version of “surf and turf”: filet mignon with lump meat crab cakes.

I seared the filet mignon in a cast iron pan to hold in the juices and finished them off in the broiler. I sauteed some sliced mushrooms and deglazed the pan with some dry sherry. To serve, I topped the steaks with the mushrooms and a sprinkle of gorgonzola.

Here are the crab cakes. I made sure to have 80 percent crab meat…that’s the best kind of crab cake.

Sides were a butter lettuce and apple salad

…and haricot vert sauteed in garlic and butter. Yeah, I kinda burned the garlic (oops) but I made sure not to overcook the greens. They still retained a nice crunch.

Everyone thought the meal was delicious. Too bad I dont have a larger kitchen here in NYC. I’d cook and entertain more often. I really do enjoy cooking as much as I enjoy eating and blogging about it.

Cheers!
