A and I used to watch more cooking shows than we do now. I think we've gotten a little tired of them. (C'mon, we've already seen you make durian into something delicious on Chopped!) However, one we can't get enough of lately is MasterChef Junior. Those kids can seriously cook! For one finale, a 12-year-old made whole fish in a salt crust. He made it look so easy, we just had to try it at home. In theory, it is easy. You pack salt together with egg whites on a baking sheet. Put a fish stuffed with herbs on top. Cover it with tons of the salt mixture. Then bake!
The moment of truth is when you crack it open. Our fish was good, but not as amazing as the judges felt the kid's tasted. It was definitely an amusing way to cook fish!
There is a board game called Twilight Struggle which is currently considered one of the best in the world. It's for two players, and each person plays as either the USA or USSR during the Cold War. For the first time ever, I won! And changed history... the USSR took over. Hope you like vodka!
For Valentine's Day, A and I tend to skip eating out and instead cook a fancy dinner ourselves. This year we made scallops, Parmesan risotto, and chocolate souffle. We've cooked scallops a few times, but this time they turned out perfect! (Thank you, Gordon Ramsey for your tutorial!) Just like in a restaurant, which justified our decision to stay in.
This was too amusing not to share... this was the first champagne bottle we've come across without a cork. And with a very amusing graphic to aid you in not shooting your eye out.
