Monthly Archives: March 2007

I meant to post this yesterday and then promptly forgot about it. Christina, I think you’ll especially like this one. The recipe is from the April 2007 issue of Everyday Food. Ginger, garlic, chicken stock, chili flakes, peapods, scallions, red pepper, chicken, lime juice, whole wheat spaghetti (though you could also use soba noodles). A nice, light soup for the spring. I think it would be equally as good if you used tofu instead of chicken. I added some more chili flakes when I served it because I wanted it a little spicier. The only caveat is that it is best eaten shortly after it’s made. I ate a bowl of leftover soup for lunch today and I really missed the crispness of the vegetables. Just something to keep in mind. I found the entire April issue of EF good, so if you’re interested in the recipe, it’s worth picking up the whole magazine.

I love finding random stuff at Target that I just have to have. Yesterday was good for that. First, I found these limited edition, cocktail-flavored Jell-O mixes! This has got three of my favorite things going for it:

1) It’s Jell-O (one of my dirty little secrets is that I really, really love Jell-O).
2) Limited Edition – I’m a sucker for any flavor of anything that won’t be around permanantly
3) Pina Colada, Margarita, and Strawberry Daquari!!!

I haven’t made Jell-O shots in about 12 years, but these kind of call out for it. And I think the pina colada is just calling for me to whip out my Jell-O mold pan.

I also have a penchant for divided containers and found this one at Target yesterday. I think it has a great design with the divider that flips up a different way to separate everything. And while *technically* the large spot is for a sandwich, there’s no reason to limit oneself. I’m really excited for work this week so I can use it!
