M&M Enterprise Cooking, Vol. VIII
Fusilli con gamberi e melanzane – September 8 Cooking, being an inexact science, sometimes surprises and sometimes disappoints. It reminds one of musical improv or other strange mixings where sometimes, you can follow the instructions and end up with an … Continue reading

M&M Enterprise Cooking, Vol. II
August 22. Una specie di parmigiana di melanzane. I bought long local eggplants at the bazaar last week, sautéed them in Spanish EVOO with garlic, layered with them cafeteria provided mozzarella slices, threw in some gifted modest tomato sauce (Hunt’s … Continue reading
M&M Enterprise Cooking, Vol. I
In the model of a less-evil Milo Minderbinder, I thought I’d show people what kind of food one can whip up with limited resources in a war zone. Having a full range and stove helps, but the crucial ingredient is, … Continue reading
48 Hours of Eating in the Fragrant Harbor
All prices in USD, not HKD. We went to Hong Kong for a variety of reasons but near the top of the list was to eat. What we learned quickly is that food in Hong Kong is really expensive. But it’s … Continue reading
