6 Russian dishes that taste (a lot) better than they look
There’s a lot of prejudice surrounding Russian cuisine. No one seems to know what it is, and no one (in the UK, anyway) seems to care. I’ll be the first to admit that on first impression, it doesn’t always sell itself. But Russians know how to cook wholesome and tasty dishes, and make the most of what they have to hand. Everyone else is missing out. So in defence of ugly Russian cuisine, here are some of the best (vegetarian) foods you should give a chance.

Comfort Foods During Quarantine
There is one thing most people have in common while staying home during the coronavirus pandemic is that they are eating more and eating more of the things they weren't eating before they were mandated to stay home. Even healthy eaters are finding themselves eating different foods than they did just a few months ago. They have begun to eat comfort foods that are not always healthy. Some have stopped counting calories and have gone back to eating foods that make them feel better.

Looking Forward to Getting Back to Normal
I'm somewhat of an introvert, but I like being able to go out if and when I choose to do so. Not being in control of my environment is what troubles me the most. That's why I like bars. I can choose how social I want to be. If I want to strike up a conversation with someone at the bar, it's usually pretty easy to do. Most people are willing to chat with others who are sitting near them. I'm not sure why. There's just something more communal about sitting at a bar.

Chinese Cooking Challenge- Day 3
Sunday 10th May 2020 Today was my turn in the kitchen. We had an exciting event happen the other day, one of the rings on our hob was on and tripped the switch. So now we are down to one working ring. Luckily, we are called “One Wok Two Noobs” so we only need one ring- let’s hope it stays working until the new cooker comes!

Chinese Cooking Challenge- Day 2
Thursday 7th May 2020 Today was Tadgers turn on cooking- I know I said last entry that it was a team effort but I joked about the compromising to make it work for me. We actually decided that some dishes we can work together on and others e can take turns in doing. Tonight, on the cards was “Flash-fried cabbage with dried chillies and sweetened soy”, not something we would usually choose to cook so an interesting one to try.

(Superfly) Pizza
“Pizza” That’s not the first word you’d expect a baby to utter. Clearly I wasn’t normal. I imagine most babies (as with my older and younger sisters) said something along the lines of “mummy” or “daddy”. Being raised in a household that was up the road from the local pizza shop, my parents recalled how entranced I became in the backseat of the car, each and every time we drove past it. The big illuminated neon light with the word “PIZZA” clearly had an aura or near spell-like affect on me.

Sweet Treats Without the Guilt
What do you do when a group gathers to eat and enjoy, but each has a different food allergy? At a recent birthday gathering, the birthday child couldn’t eat gluten, the mother couldn’t have dairy, and another relative couldn’t have nuts. What’s the solution, besides giving out bottles of water?

Chinese Cooking Challenge- Day 1
Day 1 has gone well. At around half past three we had an internal debate with ourselves; “can’t we start tomorrow instead”. We would be able to put off going to the shop for an extra day, we were so close to caving in but yesterday I promised you Singapore noodles and we didn’t want to let you down. So, we put on our shoes and trudged to the shop.

2 Good Indian Buffets in South Jersey
Not that I'm a fan of buffets, but I stumbled across one one day that left me quite a pleasant surprise. I knew I liked curry but I didn't know all the different ways I would like it, and this place proved to me that I could have it any way I want. Not getting beside myself, but the way these curry-like dishes tasted left me speechless. There were so many different flavors like tomato, coconut vegetable, and creamy spinach. Best of all, they had them right next to each other with their native names out front so you know what to look for when you go back or elsewhere. No, best of all was the price. You could get all this for less than $14 at the lunch hour with the drink included. Desserts were a taste too but I'm not a huge fan of pudding. I did go for the milk and cheese balls dipped in syrup at Palace of Asia in Maple Shade though. It's called Gulab Jamun, and it tasted heavenly. The first restaurant I was referring to is Coriander, located in Voorhees, New Jersey. Both menus of these places complement each other and are worth checking out.
