New Chicken Wings Marinade Kicks Ass!
Good squirt of Sriracha hot sauce (if you don't know then get outta here!), squirt of lemon juice (add it if you have it, if not no worries!), sprinkle of Nando's peri peri lemon grinder (I think I might have bought the last case of Nando's grinders in all the flavors, sorry! If you can't find it use any kind of powder chicken seasoning that you have), and garlic powder. Marinade and then load up the Ronco Showtime Rotisserie oven and get ready for some kick ass wings! If you don't have the Showtime Oven it'll come out just as great in the oven placed on a rack over a sheet pan. This marinade is very versatile as you can see. I've tried it with a whole chicken and just wings and both came out really delicious. It's so simple but the results are surprisingly very complex in flavor.

Même dans mes rêves, je rêve de la nourriture
Even in my dreams I dream of food.
I've been studying for organic chemistry which is so dry and bland I equate it to eating unflavored rice crackers in the middle of the desert. When my head is buried in the books my mind can't help but daydream about things I could be eating. After 4 hours of studying Sn2 substitutions with primary substrates and polar aprotic solvents I was sleepy so I took a mid day nap. I had this wild dream that I was in chinatown visiting a friend who was working in a bakery, which he really doesn't. I ordered steamed buns and cha siew bao to go and he gave me a bag of sweet bread filled with coconut paste. In my dreams I can taste and smell food and even feel the texture of it in my mouth. This bread was warm, soft, and sweet. After the bakery I went to get churng fun from this place my friend introduced me to which makes it the best in chinatown. I ordered 2 lbs and she yelled at me for not giving her correct change. After that I rushed to go get dao foo fah (soybean pudding/gelatin) from the doa foo fah lady but she was gone =( I felt sad. And then I was on the train going to meet my friend somewhere. I woke up with some crazy cravings after that.
I wonder how I look when I'm dreaming about food? Am I smiling? Am I chewing like a cow? Who knows. But man that bread was good!
The interesting thing about chinese bread which we call "bao" is that it's a bread but it's sweet. It's not like French baguettes or Italian bread. It's more along the lines of brioche but not as bready. It's very soft. I wouldn't consider it a pastry either because to me pastry makes me think of flakey, like a croissant, which is it not. Sometimes it is sweet and sometimes it can be slightly savory. They are many different types. Some have sweet toppings or sweet fillings, some have savory toppings, some are just strange weird like corn and dried meat floss... but I digress. I'm just babbling now. Time to get back to my date with stereocenters, R and S rotations, and enantiomers!

Best Brussel Sprouts NYC
Alta
64 W 10th Street
NY, NY 10011
212-505-7777
Crispy Brussel Sprouts, Fuji Apples, Creme Fraiche, Pistachio Nuts
Momofuku Ssam Bar
207 2nd Avenue (13th Street)
NY, NY 10003
Crispy Brussel Sprouts, Fish Sauce, Mint, Spicy Rice Puffs
Brussel Sprouts has to be one of my favorite vegetables and side dishes. I never get sick of them roasted with a good sprinkling of salt. The above two places are my favorite for B sprouts. It's so good you are going to want to order one plate per person. Too bad the dish is a seasonal item on Momo's menu.
I make them at home quite often. I cut them in half, flash boil then give them a good drain, generously coat with olive oil and a good sprinkling of salt, laying them flat side down and broil or roast them in the oven depending on how much time I have and how hungry I am. I like them slightly charred and nicely browned. Momofuku does theirs with a diluted sauce of fish sauce and sugar with a sprinkling of chopped fresh mint. Alta does theirs with a sauce of balsamic and honey with apples, pistachio nuts, and creme fraiche. Both are amazing. If you find baby b sprouts or fresh ones still on the stalk get 'em because they are awesome!

Bien que ma tête est dans les livres, mon esprit est dans les nuages rêver sur les aliments
doughnuts, pizza, pho, onion rings, burger, ramen, grilled octopus, korean bbq, vietnamese spring rolls, waffles
I skipped lunch today so I'm very hungry.
