This morning, I woke up with this craving for my mom ayam tomat. Basically chicken soup cooked with just ginger, garlic, and cut up tomatoes, seasoned with a little salt, white pepper and a splash of fish sauce. I checked my pantry for rice and guess what… I ran out of rice. Shame on me..what…

Beef in red wine
Last week I scored when I grabbed this big block of brisket for $18. I cut them up into 4 pieces that I know I can do 4 dinners. So Thursday afternoon after stopping by at Wholefoods and found some sale on merlot and sauvignon, I thought I would do my own version of beouf…
