You can Sushi too!

You don't have to be an expert Sushi Chef to make sushi. In fact, you don't need any specific ingredients besides the rice and the nori (seaweed). Again, whatever's leftover in your fridge/freezer is fair game. This weekend, I had leftover bacon, eggs, shrimp, mushrooms and cucumber. I tried combining a couple of these ingredients, and you know what, it tasted great!

Fresh is Best

Every recipe needs seasoning, spices or herbs. When it comes to herbs, fresh is definitely best. Even if you don't have a backyard, find an outside area, whether it's a porch, or terrace, or window sill, and plant some herbs. Here I have some basil, parsley and cilantro. Fresh herbs completely make whatever you're eating, truly come more ALIVE! Be green! Garden! Grow!

Shrimp Soup

Again, one of the simplest, most satisfying meals to make is soup. Don't shy away from making soups, anyone can make them. This is a very asian soup, filled with succulent shrimp and the common mainstay, noodles.

Summer Quench

This drink is good to quench your thirst in summer. Watermelon is one of the few fruit which really cure your thirst immediately. I blend the watermelon and cran-rasp juice together in a blender. Add some cubes of ice and wola........ enjoy the summer quench.
