A popular Indonesian coconut vegetable stew that goes well with steamed rice. Since I couldn't get my hands on all the ingredients I needed to make a proper Sayur Lodeh, I settled for an improvised version.
Ingredients: Tom Kha spice mix, cream of coconut, fried garlic, minced onions, shredded cabbage, chopped zucchini, french beans, flash frozen fresh mushrooms and tofu curds.

Fresh Mozzarella with Rotini
A tri-colour rotini and cubed fresh mozzarella, tossed in a basil mushroom marinara sauce. Delish.
A Liquid Holiday Dinner...

Every year, Jones Soda Co. produces a limited edition 'Holiday Pack' of holiday-themed sodas. At the end of 2006, I finally caved and shelled out some hard-earned cash to see what the hype was about. Heck, I even found three somewhat-willing participants (my sis, my BIL and my mama) for my taste test experiments! Here's what we thought of the sodas:
Turkey & Gravy Soda - This was exceptionally gross. It tasted like sweetened brown gravy! Thankfully, we could not detect the turkey element in the soda *shudder*
Pea Soda - This wasn't too bad. It smelled like veggies, but it tasted rather bland.
Sweet Potato Soda - This was actually rather pleasant. It tasted like canned sweet potatoes.
Dinner Roll Soda - OMG. This one takes the cake. It was deceptively mild at first, but the butter aftertaste was definitely unpalatable!
Antacid Soda - This one tasted just like the pink stuff (i.e. Pepto-Bismol). My mama actually liked it and remarked that it reminded her of rootbeer?!?
Verdict? It was unanimously decided that we should stick with the regular sodas!
