Shanghai lion's head stew ala Romana. Traditional Chinese giant meatball stew recipe, made in the Italian style. I just couldn't leave well enough alone. Sweet Italian sausage meatballs dressed with cornstarch and braised with napa cabbage in wine instead of the traditional broth. Absolutely delicious! I'm tippy toeing myself into learning to cook Chinese food. Though, with my modifications to the recipe, this is about as Chinese as 'pesketti. Can you believe this is the first time I bought napa cabbage?
Berry blue jello becomes fancy when served in a wine glass.
Chocolate banana bread. This one is good too. The crust on top is the best part. I will try baking the batter in a jelly roll pan in brownie style, so it'll be mostly crunchy top crust. I'm using an oven thermometer now. All the cooking shows and magazine articles tout the benefits of oven thermometers because of variations in individual ovens. As it turns out, my oven thermometer is a waste of money. My oven temperature is exactly the same as the oven thermometer. So much for inaccurate ovens.
