gnar gnar

so lately everyone i know has started a food blog.

this makes me feel strange.

i mean, how is my blog any different from anyone elses? it's not. in fact, my shitty camera work and the lame-ness of my meals seems to make this blog even more lackluster! i don't know what i should do. i could make this a ~life story~ blog but man... my writing blows.

anyway i'm going to go take my poor me attitude somewhere else. this is what i ate today.



sweet sour glazed chicken.

updates for updates sake


It's so hot. I'm eating ice cream and it's almost 7PM (dinner time). My diet hasn't been the healthiest lately. Today I ate a slice of vegetarian pizza from Boston's Pizza, two spring rolls from Pho Tri, $14 worth of sushi at Genki, and a fudgey cupcake from the Starbucks cafe. I know what you're thinking. "Arisa, you're so skinny! You don't have to worry about your weight!" Shut up. I am skinny fat and I should probably be working out so I can get toned and shit.

Anyway this isn't a blog about me it's a blog about food. I forgot to write about my slow-cooked ribs adventure. Basically I discovered what I did wrong the last time and reattempted some weeks ago. It was an absolute success.

I followed all the steps except the part about baking. The oven was on bake at 275degreesF. I wrapped the ribs in two sheets of foil, top and bottom, and then sealed the sides closed. Then I put it in a casserole dish of sorts, with a lid! This way the moisture stays inside. Who would have thought!


So after baking for about two and a half hours I opened up the foil and then basted them with BBQ sauce. Then I broiled them for about twenty minutes.


FALL OFF THE FUCKING BONE! I was in disbelief. Ask my mom! I almost started crying!



Anyway it turned out to be a horrifyingly oily meal that I won't attempt again for a while. Maybe broiling on a broiling pan instead to help with the oils sitting. Either way, aaaaaaamazing!
