1/2 tsp pepper (optional)
1/2 tsp salt

Mix together.

I learned this trick at the kitchen. It's much faster than dicing the hard boiled eggs. Also using a knife the yolk would suction onto it so that was inconvenient  If you have a cooling rack with squares or anything similar you can...

Strawberry Balsamic Vinaigrette

Made this in where I'm volunteering. I didn't take photos so I used photos online that were similar to my results.

LIST and HOWTO:

1 cup fresh or frozen strawberry
2 tbsp strawberrry jam

If using frozen berries then microwave it 2 minutes. Then use blender to blend jam and berry. You want to chop/pulse them up. You don't want pink foam to form. Want the consistency be almost like the photo above. Pour into a large/medium bowl.

1 cup balsamic vinegar
1 tsp salt
1/4 pear vinegar
3 cup oil
1 tsp dijon mustard

Blend the 5 things together to emulsify. After the blend it looks like mocha chocolate color firm peak of egg whites texture. Then pour the mixture into the berry bowl and mix well. I tasted the end product and I could taste the strawberry flavor and the sourness.The end result looked like something like the photo below.

This version gots a western flavor to it. It's got a pre-western-modern feel to it. It totally lost its ancient and asian historic feel to it. I'm disappointed and I was so excited before too.

Gu Fang Bu Zi Shang Novel and Manhua




Love the chibi drawings in the manhua. By the way, if you don't know, manhua is the Chinese word for comic or manga. I couldn't wait for the next chapters of the manhua that I went, looked and read the translated light novel. If only I could read Chinese then I would totally help translate.

I also noticed that the storyline of both medium are similar.

French Dressing Recipe

I also made French Dressing for the first time at the Agrace's Kitchen. I added everything in a large bowl and used a spatula to mix. The oil wasn't mixing well. I worried if I added to much, but then told myself I followed the recipe. Then I thought I needed a better tool, which I found a whisk to mix. It was much efficient in mixing the oil and sauces together.

LIST:
3 cup ketchup
1 cup Dijion mustard
1 cup Cider vinegar
2 cup oil
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 tbs worcestershire
1 tsp tabasco

Mix everything in a bowl very well.

Basil Green Goddess Dressing

LINK: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ina-garten/bibb-salad-with-basil-green-goddess-dressing-recipe/index.html

I made the dressing without the little fish paste at Agrace's Kitchen. It gave a pretty lemon green color.

LIST:
1 cup good mayonnaise
1 cup chopped scallions(spring onion), white and green parts (6 to 7 scallions)
1 cup chopped fresh basil leaves
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (2 lemons)
2 teaspoons chopped garlic (2 cloves)
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 cup sour cream

HOWTO:
Place the mayonnaise, scallions, basil, lemon juice, garlic, anchovy paste, salt and pepper in a blender and blend until smooth. Add the sour cream and process just until blended. (If not using immediately, refrigerate the dressing until ready to serve.)
