Steamed fish

I have no idea what I made.  This was from some time ago.  Think this was ginger steamed fish with 3 kinds of salads and relishes on top.

Dark Chocolate Almond Cookie

There were a few surprises to this cookie.  For one, you might bite into a piece that has ginger, while another does not.  I baked this as a very crispy biscotti-like cookie, but it turned soft after a few days.  Weird!  Wonder what it will be in a couple of days?  Crispy again??  In any case, it was really good with a glass of milk or cup of  tea.  

I like using Valrhona 71% cacao dark chocolate.  The 81% is a bit too bitter to leave as chunks in the cookie.  Maybe next time, I will make a cardamon-pistachio-dark chocolate variety.

Dark Chocolate Pistachio Biscotti

My first good looking biscotti!  Yeah, the other times I've made them, they don't look like biscotti at all.  My flour amount was wrong, so the previous ones didn't come out right! :(  I think this is one of the easiest cookies to make, in terms on preparation.  Just mix everything together, bake, slice, and bake again.  No rolling dough into little balls!

Spicy Stilton Walnut Shortbread

Have some! ( ^ - ^ )*
Crispy, crunchy, nutty, spicy!
I'm afraid to make this again, because I'll eat the whole batch!

Wonderfully Soft Bread

100% Whole wheat bread.  I like this bread because it's a tasty whole wheat bread and it's not hard as a brick by the 3rd day.  In fact, it stays soft for a long time!  It's also not mixed with white flour.
Used only natural ingredients: whole wheat flour, eggs, yeast, yogurt, and a bit olive oil.

Eggs and halloumi

Egg, asparagus, and fried halloumi (looks like a slab of tofu).  I didn't do too well frying the egg.
