One of my favorite dishes ever is Mexican Shrimp, or Camarones a la Mexicana.
Now this is my kind of fast food! Simple prep of the following ingredients:

Japanese eggplant is called Nasu. If you’ve never tried it, you MUST! We have had a Japanese eggplant plant in our front garden for several years now. This year, we are having a bumper crop! So I look forward to trying many new ways to enjoy this delicious fruit! Yes, it’s actually a fruit. 🙂

On movie nights, I cook a meal to accompany the film we are going to watch. The meal I choose is somehow inspired by the film. The inspiration could be something actually eaten in the film, or the setting.
We watched the 1939 classic French film called “The Rules of the Game” on a recent movie night. Jean Renoir directed this film, and it is considered by many authorities on motion pictures to be one of the greatest films in cinema history.

I am working my way through the foods that are listed in the book 1,000 Foods to Eat Before You Die by Mimi Sheraton. This is called my 1,000 Foods to Eat Project. A visit to Nishiki Market in Kyoto, Japan was food #37 in my project. 🙂
Ok, so Nishiki Market is not a food. The book actually lists some of what I would classify as “food experiences,” of which a visit to this amazing market in Kyoto is one.

I loooove pasta. Hopefully you love pasta too. 🙂 I’m not averse to using ready made pasta sauces. In fact, I use them quite often. However, when you have an easy recipe at your disposal to help you create a dish worthy of a fine Italian restaurant, then there’s no reason not to make your own sauce! I’m stepping out boldly to say, that this is one of those recipes. 🙂

If you are like me, then you like FLAVOR PACKED FOODS. No bland food please! LOL
Korean Baked Chicken checks those boxes! It also couldn’t be simpler to make. Bake some crispy chicken, and then baste with a yummy spicy gochujang based sauce and you’re in for a delicious treat!

Japanese eggplant is called “nasu” in Japan. This eggplant is quite different from our American eggplant. The nasu is slender, smaller, and not as bitter as our American eggplant.
The skin of this eggplant is thin, and the flavor is sweet. Additionally it also has way fewer seeds than our American version and is a member of the Nightshade family, which also includes potatoes and tomatoes.
This versatile eggplant is great baked, broiled, steamed, stir fried, and grilled!
