A Trip to the Asian Market
I was so amazed to find out that Shauna is giving away a Sony Reader Pocket Edition on her Book Giveaway blog. This is a chance in the lifetime to win. I have never been in the position to afford an e-reader but to have the chance at least, is well worth it.
You can access up to 350 of your favorite books, anywhere. Being the reader that I am, this would be the perfect addition for me.
The giveaway ends on January 26, 2010 so head over there and enter.

One of my goals for this year is to make a new recipe each week. I'm excited about the challenge because, I am a cookbook hoarder.
This is actually not a photo of my cookbooks because mine are scattered everywhere in not so nice piles. I decided to make inari sushi for Boo since he ranted and raved over it a few weeks ago.
I went to the Asian market here and totally was mesmerized browsing down the aisles. My only regret was that there weren't any samples of everything available because I know I would've loved to taste it all.
I'm not quite sure how some of the items are used but boy was I intrigued. I saw salted duck eggs.
I saw a yummy looking sesame cookie.
And jars and jars of sauces and oils that looked like they would be delicious!
I wanted to ask, "How do you use this?" "What does this taste like?" But instead, I looked and examined and imagined. I decided that I would be back after getting a few recipes together.
In the meantime, I did get the ingredients for the inari sushi. Yay me!

My sister makes excellent Korean food. I don't know what any of it is called, but there is lots of seaweed involved!
Sushi? Bhlak!
I guess I am forever a Southern Girl and there is no hope to sophisticate my pallette.
Good luck on your adventure.!!
Also, thanks for stopping by my Blog to celebrate my happy news with me. I appreciate you!!
By the way, I am seeing that price right on those duck eggs? Are they really $3.80? They better be awfully good for that price!
This year I've decided I'm going to do more Mediterranean cooking. Having just been in Israel I was reminded how much I love it.
Happy cooking CCD.
Bon Appetite!
I have great Asian and Carribean markets near me. Hmmmmm....
I need motivation!!!!
My girls got a sushi recipe book and kit for Christmas. Wish us luck in being successful with it, and we wish you the same with all of your new dishes. :)
And sushi is my favorite. Now I want to come and visit : )
Have a super day!!!
