inshallah after Ramadan:

i want to try making Fish Tacos. i read this whole thing in the Tribune about how you can barely find any places that serve Fish Tacos in Chicago and the author wanted to start a movement for it (they were giving away blue 'fish taco' awareness bands).
oh yeah, don't try fish tacos at a restaurant--the fish is beer-battered.

allrecipes says a substitute for beer is non-alcoholic beer (duh!) or chicken broth.

also want to try Chicken Enchiladas. i've never had them. Tyler Florence was making it on Tyler's Ultimate and i was fasting and now i really want them.

Slime! I missed you!

Doesn't non-alcoholic beer still have some alcohol in it?

And yeah, my brother told me recently about beer batter.

It seems whenever we want something, we have to make it at home ourselves 'cause it's impossible to find a halal version. Boo. :

darn. chicken broth it is.

so i couldn't wait till Ramadan ended. i made this wednesday: Chicken Enchiladas with Roasted Tomatillo Chile Salsa Recipe: Recipes: Food Network

it was alot of work. pretty good.
too bad i was fasting when i made it..i really wanted to taste the salsa on its own.

[hijabihoodlum]

musta been good enchiladas. personally when it comes to mexican food, i just throw stuff into a tortilla. but mole, gotta keep reminding myself, i must do that. oh yeah and ceviche.

i made a tray of oven fried chicken (i've decided making fried chicken is only feasible with a decent stovetop (mine heats oil reallly weird; i can never fry well because the temperature just doesnt stay consistent, even when i monitor with a thermometer) and oil that you will have an opportunity to re-use..which i never do) and two batches of corn bread the other day (and caesar salad, but that doesnt really count) for one of our iftars here at school. which was a change of pace at least, considering we always eat either arab or desi food. it's funny though, because no one really knew what they were eating (what? american food? what's this?!). there were *several* people who didnt even know what cornbread was <-- and im talking about those kids born and raised here.

...

sorry for all the ( )'s.

Don't worry. I'll keep bugging you till you try it. And hey if you want ceviche, just make sure you don't get it from this guy hahah:



Those folks are all gonna regret it hahah.


I took a picture of my Gordon Ramsay's Fast Linguine yesterday, but I'm gonna have to wait till I get to a place to pull it off my card. Moonstar, it'll be no match for your awesome pictures, but it's my first bachelor masterpiece so I'm gonna post it anyway

I think the biggest thing is that there was this sweet taste in it, and I can't figure out where it came from. I used olive oil instead of canola or corn oil - and I seem to recall that those latter oils have less test than olive - is that right? Could that be the source of my disaster? Also, I used chipotle peppers instead of straight up jalapeños, but I don't think that'd do it.

Anyway, if anyone wants to try, here's a recipe: How to Make Chilaquiles With Tomatillo Sauce | eHow.com


Chilaquiles with eggs for breakfast.

So today I made cheese and broccili risotto. I've never had risotto before. It came in a box from Whole Foods, I just added water and milk. It was creamy when I made it, but I had to reheat it to eat it after iftar time, and it got clumpy. And the cheese sauce had a sharp flavor. I'll have to try to fresh someday. Basically it was like Italian cheesy khichree.
