Last night we made comfort food... pizza and chicken wings. I use Mark Bittman's Minimalist recipe for fried pizza. It works great when you have a wimpy toaster oven that could never turn out a decent pizza. We topped the dough with tomato paste (makes a great sauce), garlic, onions, peppers, wilted spinach, Parmesan, and mozzarella--makes me hungry just thinking about it again.
Uniting the east with the west, bread is common to all world cuisines. Thus, baguettes represent my European roots and baozi, or steamed dumplings, my adopted home in China.
I am starting my second year of doctoral work in English literature. I live in Buffalo, New York with my lovely husband and beautiful dog, tending my pumpkin patch and wishing for a glass slipper.
