Shredded Cucumber.
Chopped Jalapenos.

The noodle I used was the same as that used for the Vietnamese Pho.

Will do it again.

Banana Fritters Again

Forgot to eat the bananas so it was left till too ripe.
Made the banana fritters again....
Only 3 bananas but so many fritters, cannot finish....
Still left half of it.
Maybe for tomorrow's breakfast.

Chipotle For Friday Nite

It was about 8.30pm when I took this pic...
so it was kinda dark and hence turn out not so clear.
Anyways, we went to Chipotle Mexican Grill for dinner.

See what we got?

-All Natural Nantucket Nectars Promegranate Cherry
-Tortilla Chips with Guacamole
-Soft Taco with Chicken, Sour Cream n Mild Salsa
-Fajita Burrito with Steak, Rice, Sour Cream n Medium Salsa

This is mine - The Soft Taco with Chicken n whatnot.

Dear dear's Fajita Burrito (Spelt Correctly?)

Verdict :
Overall very good n not oily at all.
Portion a bit big, half the burrito was left for this morning's breakfast.
The chips still left half a bag, still cannot finish.
Will definitely go again but for brunch or lunch so that can finish all the food in one day.
Yummy!

Banana Fritters

Ingredients:

3 bananas (very ripe)

3/4 cup plain flour

1 tsp baking powder

2 tbsp light brown sugar

2 tbsp sugar (if the banana is not sweet)

pinch of salt

Method:

1. Mash the bananas. Mix in the flour, baking powder, salt and brown sugar.
2. Taste the mixture, if not sweet enough, add the sugar.
3. Mix well. The mixture might be a little runny.
4. Heat oil. Use a tablespoon to drop dollops of the mixture into the hot oil.
5. When the fritters turn brown, spoon up on kitchen towel to drain excess oil.
6. If you want it even sweeter, you might sprinkle powdered sugar on it sparingly.

Enjoy!

Food Diary - 19th June 08

Dinner @ SFO International Airport

That last day in San Francisco, we had a really late dinner (10 plus) at the SFO International Airport with the in-laws, before they flew back home. We were delayed as we had to wait for the SQ counters to open before they could check-in their luggages. One of their luggage was also overweight and hence need to take out some-stuff to put into another empty hand-carry (we checked that in, too). The airlines are really strict now with the weight of each piece of luggage. If you are travelling, I would advise against those hard luggage as they weigh quite a bit on their own, which translate to less shopping. :)

Because their flight was at 1am, after dinner, they send us off to the car park instead.... hee hee... cause we needed to drive another 45 mins to the hotel. Also we had to leave the hotel at 4.30am latest to catch our 7am flight back. I think we reached the hotel at mid-night. After re-packing, we managed to sleep for 2 hours or so before driving back to SFO.

To Go Or Not To Go...... ORGANIC...

One of the main activity that we do on Saturdays is grocery shopping. We’ve noticed labels that read “Hormone Free”, “Natural” or “Organic” getting really common. In fact, we have also gone along with the hype to buy organic stuff when possible. With the prices of food going up, we are noticing the great jump in the monthly grocery bill and hence re-thinking the natural-organic-hormone free way. While looking for some info, I came across this article.
