Tiger is hoping that this grows into a catalog of many recipes that we can collect together, which along with pictures can create something like both a picture book and a recipe book for the recipes that we’ve been able to try together. This is a private website, no search engines can index this.</p> <p><img src="/uploads/thanksgiving-meal.jpg" alt="" /></p> <p>Tiger is very appreciative of course all of the delicious things that Bunny has fed Tiger over the years - I’m reminded of the sticker where Huhu eats the items that Huhu’s friend feeds him. But across the longer term, Tiger is very appreciative of all of the techniques that Bunny has taught Tiger over a long period of time, this is just a select list:</p> <ul> <li>How two of the most important things when making / eating food are 1) always making sure you select the freshest, bestest ingredients 2) always making sure that you get a little bit of all of the different flavors / textures / profiles in each bite.</li> <li>How to properly make things stick together when you want them to (like adding a bit of water when pressing together Wonton wrappers), and how to make things not stick together when you don’t want them too (like rinsing sago in cold water, but not too forcefully).</li> <li>How many times its important to be precise (coating a zucchini evenly in flour), but many times you really don’t need to be precise (when we are reheating or melting rather than cooking), and how its important to know the difference.</li> <li>How a lot of cooking is learning the same techniques and being able to apply it across many different mediums (e.g. there are so many things we can roast in the oven with oil, garlic, salt, and pepper) (e.g. how once you learn a technique to coat things in chocolate, you can apply it to whatever you’d like).</li> <li>The importance of fat and oil for flavor and for cooking, and how to properly regulate or control the amount so that you don’t have too much (or too little). How salt makes things taste more like themselves. The importance of acid as well to cut through certain flavors.</li> <li>How grocery shopping is a fun adventure and how specific grocery stores are better for certain items.</li> </ul> <p><img src="/images/trader-joes-haul.jpg" alt="" /></p> <p>Tiger is still a novice, but he feels like he is learning and is growing, and is happy about a certain limited set of recipes that he feels like he can recreate now (tilapia, asparagus, green beans, yang chun mian). He aspires to be more like bunny and be able to learn more about a large and diverse set of recipes, and he is thankful every day that Bunny lets Tiger be next to him to assist in helping eating the world.</p> <p><img src="/uploads/long-island-pies.jpg" alt="" /></p> <p>I think some of the cookings and learnings are applicable in real life too. I have the freshest, bestest Bunny. I want us to stick together, and I know that I need to be attentive and precise on many things in our relationship. We can add some zing and pizazz and spice to many parts of our relationship, but the most important thing is that the core ingredients are strong. Sometimes we take it slow, sometimes we take it fast, but the most important thing is that we take it together, and make sure to get a little bit of everything in each bite. I look forward to a lifetime of noms with you.</p>{"name"=>nil, "email"=>nil, "twitter"=>nil}
