WARNING!!! Major Food Porn

Of course the minute I could open my eyes again and actually see the knife, the cutting board and the flames from the stove in front of me, I set to cooking. My eyes were still a bit blurry but my tummy was more than ready for some taste bud tantalizing treats. I was sure to wear sunglasses in the kitchen as I was deathly afraid of getting anything in my eyes. In two days I produced the following:


I invited Laura over for lunch today, she brought the lemon grass, cilantro, limes and bean sprouts. I made the lemon grass beef, rice vermicelli, and prepared all the fixings for "Lemon Grass Beef Wraps." The orange water spritzer in the background was filled with warm water and used to soften the rice paper.


Here's Laura's wrap with my mom's special nuoc nam recipe. The fresh limes, slivered green onions and cilantro really made the dish authentic.

My mandarin orange and pomegranate granita. On the first day after my surgery the hubby went to the corner grocer and picked up the largest most ruby red pomegranate I've seen in a long time. What an amazing husband! On a different note, the night I was drugged from the 24 hour sleeping pill he also managed to pick up a new fax machine/scanner and amplifier to "beef" up the sounds of his new computer games. I think one is called Hostage in San Andreas, or something like that...



Fall is the time for soups, this was a curried lentil soup that I would have drunk if I were not afraid of choking on the homemade croutons. I wanted vitamins for my healing eyes.
