It's springtime so I should try to eat more salads right. Here's what I'm thinking. I'd like to make a smoked salmon salad with avocado and cranberry. I think the cranberry and the avocado would pair well.
Then I'm thinking a spinach salad with feta cheese, candied walnuts, and watermelon.
I should use the Korean chamwei. It's a kind of white melon. I think it would go great with some ham or even prosciutto.
Oh, by the way, the Avian Bird Flu scare in Korea has made me a bit paranoid. 15 million chicken were put to death in Seoul. I was going to make a balsamic chicken wrap with sugared pecan but 1) pecans are damn expensive and 2) everyone is scared of chicken in this country.
I should make a BLT sandwich. That's a classic that always pleases. I think it would be pleasant with yogurt infused with lemon zest and pepper...hmmmm...bacon tastes good.^^
What else, what else???
I'm going to do a sugared walnut recipe tonight. I'll let you know how they turn out. I think I'm going to flavor them with orange zest, cinnamon, and brown sugar. I know it's not that creative, but they'll taste good.
I wish strawberries were still in season because I make an awesome strawberry and parmesan canape.
Well...I should get back to work instead of daydreaming about food.

Wow. You almost made me hungry enough to consider cooking for myself tonight. I've got a solid lazy streak of not cooking for a week now. I do want a salad though. Mmmmm.
ReplyDeleteIf you do cook any of those I hope you post about it. =D
I think I'm going to be cooking for a restaurants soon, so I'll I'll let you know when I get these on the menu^^
ReplyDeleteThanks for reading
I like the smoked salmon, avocado, and cranberry salad idea... I was thinking the same thing - I could really go for a salad. Unfortunately, that seems a little difficult in Korea (at restaurants)? I also think it's great to incorporate 참외 into dishes... I'd love to see that on Iron Chef or something. ^^
ReplyDeletekorean chamwei is the best. i remember eating them during summer time ...the good ones are so sweet & juicy but at the same time they don't make your mouth run dry like the soft drinks/ice creams...
ReplyDeletethey're not common back in america
