Food Porn: Holiday Food Pix

Struppoli by Rowena, this was from a recipe by Giada, Rowena was so excited about this dessert.  You know in Pinoy culture, we must have gotten this from our Chinese ancestors, round foods, fruits in the new year, signifies prosperity.

My brother made this crown of ribs with a marinade of different sauces available in his fridge, laced it with a bit of brandy and it came out good, he said. No wonder, his son is a little hyper, I can hear him yelling and running around on the phone.

This is a fritata that I served for breakfast for Victoria and her kids when they visited on Christmas break, the recipe of which, I have shared here, the variation is I didn't saute the tomatoes instead I topped it when I was ready to finish up in the oven.

Nabeyake Odun from Osaka Sushi on Castro in SFO, where I ended up from an appointment in Walnut Creek missing my stop.





Mussels in coconut milk, served at a "Pasasalamat Dinner" hosted by the Klimeks. Another post for another day.

Cassava cake made by Weng in my kitchen, the reason why I have ingredients handy, my friends cook when they visit. Recipe on another post later.

Enjoy!
