Now I know I said I’d avoid spicy foods for a bit, but this recipe really caught my eye. It’s a bit complicated so I’m going to give you a weekend warning, here. That is, don’t try this recipe unless you have a lot of time to devote to it.

This one’s slightly more involved than previous recipes so you might want to allot a bit more time for yourself. That said, this chili dish can last you three nights for two people. It’s hearty, delicious and pretty spicy. You can alleviate the heat with some sour cream and cheese, however.

I love quick and easy meals that are both healthy and satisfying. And while the words “hot dogs” may not invoke a sense of healthy cuisine, I found a delicious recipe from the Whole Foods Market website that I just had to try out.

We’ve ordered some Pempek (or Empek-Empek) from a local catering service in Dallas. I’ve eaten this during my stay in Jakarta and I really enjoyed it. So what is Empek-Empek? Here is a snip taken from Wikipedia.
Pempek or Empek-Empek is a delicacy from Palembang which is made of fish and sago. Pempek is eaten together with a dark sauce called cuka or cuko (in bahasa Palembang). Cuko is produced from adding brown sugar, chili pepper, garlic, vinegar, and salt into hot boiling water.

With so much left over shrimp in my fridge I need to use them before their freshness totally disappear. What kind of dish can I make that would be fairly quick and make a good use of all the shrimp? Then an idea pops in my head, Shrimp burger!
