I knew it won't be realistic for me to keep update everyday. I knew it based on my past experience of turning daily diary to weekly then to yearly until totally disappeared. Back to when every single friend of mine had a MSN space, I never started writing anything on it since I knew I won't keep up to it. And this time, I failed on second day!
Well, technically speaking, I didn't fail. Never said it is the blog with everyday update. But I did use the title like "Day 1" as a nice index. Emmm, it cause me a little headache now how to title the third day after skipping the second one. OK, maybe I should alter the rule to that I will keep all the dishes updated, but not on everyday.
The second dish we made is a dish we made the second time. It is from Rick Bayless's book which Legg received almost two year ago as gift from his parents. I think they will be blissful if they knew we totally made three dishes out of it during last two years. I am not sure but I guess subconsciously the key to this two time nominee is 'slow cook'. Yes, it is a slow cook dish that was quietly waiting for us when we got home after work. Nice!
Picture will follow soon...

Day 1 Key word: Survived!
It is THE day 1: First day on season 8 Top Chef on bravo, first day without parents cooking since September, and first day with our own cooking! Yippee! Believe it or not, I was always looking for a good start point for some serious semi-amateur cooking. Never succeeded. Well, let's see how far this triple day 1 will go.
By saying serious semi-amateur cooking, I basically want to say byebye to frozen pizza, instant noodles, and maybe less Chipotle. After moving into this new-to-us house, the kitchen is not the excuse for our infamous sluggish cooking anymore.
To ensure this post get published before 12 PST, I will move into our dish tonight now. It is Rotini with Spicy Italian Sausage and Broccoli in Alfredo sauce. We didn't look up for recipe. It is mainly Jason made it based on his memory of the dish. Pretty simple steps: 1. take the sausage out of the case and break it down in heated skillet. 2. boil the broccoli in hot water. 3. mix the sausage and broccoli together with Alfredo sauce in low heat. 4. cook the Rotini according to the cooking instructions. 5. mix the sauce with Rotini and done! Simple, but delicious. I am not a fan of Alfredo sauce, but this one taste light enough for me to like it. Forgot to mention, we did use the light version of Alfredo sauce. Definitely not authentic. Besides this, we also tried the new bread machine second time after we received this as wedding gift. Just heard the beeping. Can't wait to see the result!
In the end, I should mention the D-day too. We sent the parents back to China yesterday. We impatiently started to explore the culinary world at dinner time. Got the recipe on foodnetwork.com.(http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/robin-miller/honey-jalapeno-chicken-with-sesame-soba-noodles-recipe/index.html) It is more like a Asian fusion to me. Taste absolutely delicious! Didn't take the pictures though. Only got the idea to post in blog today. After all, today is the Day 1!
