Apricot story (continued from previous...)

Last night we got home from the gym and thought it might be nice to have a fruity snack i.e. our left over pears from the Apricot recipe.

Apparently they were peaches

Pork Medallions in Apricot Sauce

The title sounded classy and the picture in the cookbook was sublime. It was an especially curious dish for someone like me who'd grown up in a land bereft of apricots so I was almost as excited as Aaron to get started.
I prepared the meat while he concocted the strange sauce and 30 minutes later the dish was ready. We served it to the roommates and at first taste everyone was in agreement that it was indeed a tasty treat. Very well done, we thought, until someone brought up the question: "where are the apricots?"

And thats when we realized... we'd used pears by mistake.

Vietbodia Vaca

I'm back from my Vietbodia trip (pics coming soon!) but i wanted to share with you guys some pics that i feel is relevant to all of us--A glimpse of the ethnic bovines from the indochina region! Apologies for the lack of close up shots. I was on a bus from the Cu Chi tunnels when i took this for despite their less urban ways, i did not see any cows in the city. I was the lone cow. The food was great though and it was quite an adventure. I'm still waiting for the day when the cows can travel together. We can also bring along our arch nemesis for fun. :)

oh so quiet...

It's been awfully quiet lately. Even our number one detractor seems to be MIA.
