You’re welcome. The guilt is nagging away at me. Seriously, Dhale?! Only two posts in May?!?!

I just couldn’t bring myself to remain absent for 16 days straight without any contributions to the wonderful world of food blogs. So I decided to be super ambitious and compose a short little ditty ahead of time so that it’ll be ready to lock [...]]]> http://dhaleb.com/food-type/on-the-side/pork-belly-grapefruit-citrus-sauce/feed/ 21 http://dhaleb.com/food-type/meat/adobo-chicken-braised-reduction/ http://dhaleb.com/food-type/meat/adobo-chicken-braised-reduction/#comments Fri, 12 Mar 2010 06:01:13 +0000 Dhale @ Culinary Musings http://dhaleb.com/?p=1513 Alas, my very first Filipino recipe. With a twist, nonetheless. And a bon voyage to us! When I started blogging several months ago, I’ve had a few requests from friends and family to recreate a classic Filipino dish with my own special “pinky up” factor. It’s taken me a while to finally man up, especially [...]]]> http://dhaleb.com/food-type/meat/adobo-chicken-braised-reduction/feed/ 22 http://dhaleb.com/food-type/meat/spicy-minced-pork-lettuce-cups/ http://dhaleb.com/food-type/meat/spicy-minced-pork-lettuce-cups/#comments Mon, 08 Feb 2010 19:13:46 +0000 Dhale @ Culinary Musings http://dhaleb.com/?p=1234 Our trip to Costa Rica is T-minus 32 days. We have to conquer 2 volcanoes, climb a mountain at 3800m (12,467 ft. for my fellow Americans), survive in the rainforest and dive 20m down into the ocean. So yeah, we’re remotely trying to eat healthy and shape up. Diets schmiets is what I say.

No truffle oil, no hollandaise, no puff pastry. It doesn’t have any fancy French words thrown in like mousse, roulade or frisée. Just a good ol’ hearty meal after a long day in the fields, harvesting wheat in your tractor (is that what you even use a tractor for???).

But it’s true. Osso bucco is awesome. Slowly braised until the meat is falling off the bone, it is one of my most favorite Italian dishes. Literally meaning “hole bone”, osso bucco’s prize is the tiny crevice of marrow in the middle. I know. I cringed too [...]]]> http://dhaleb.com/food-type/meat/osso-bucco-or-awesome-bucco/feed/ 10 http://dhaleb.com/food-type/meat/steak-tartare/ http://dhaleb.com/food-type/meat/steak-tartare/#comments Mon, 23 Nov 2009 18:53:17 +0000 Dhale @ Culinary Musings http://dhaleb.com/?p=389 One of the first things he ever told his best friend about me: "She likes steak tartare!" Uttered in the same breath as one would boast about how pretty their girlfriend is or how smart she is, my boyfriend was bragging about how his American girlfriend was down to eat some raw beef. How romantic...]]> http://dhaleb.com/food-type/meat/steak-tartare/feed/ 10 http://dhaleb.com/food-type/meat/massaman-curry-avocado/ http://dhaleb.com/food-type/meat/massaman-curry-avocado/#comments Wed, 18 Nov 2009 17:37:13 +0000 Dhale @ Culinary Musings http://dhaleb.com/?p=246 Since our trip to Chinatown resulted in a spree of Asian vegetables and spices, I declared this week "Asian Week". It was my own food challenge to create a diversity in our meals while maintaining the theme. Well, that and we honestly don't have enough room in our pantry and refrigerator. ]]> http://dhaleb.com/food-type/meat/massaman-curry-avocado/feed/ 3 http://dhaleb.com/food-type/sandwiches/curry-chicken-salad-for-two/ http://dhaleb.com/food-type/sandwiches/curry-chicken-salad-for-two/#comments Mon, 16 Nov 2009 15:06:37 +0000 Dhale @ Culinary Musings http://dhaleb.com/?p=165 When I was in living in LA it was a weekend ritual to stop by Urth Caffe, not for celebrity-spotting (although it was always amusing), but for their delicious curry chicken salad.
