Horlicks Bread
•
I generally like Horlicks, but I noticed that it is slowly disappearing from day to day life. Many eateries no longer offer Horlicks on their beverage menu, although a few places like the wonderful Inside Scoop has Horlicks ice cream (yum!)

Anyone who has seen the movie Chef starring Jon Favreau would probably remember the scene with the absolutely decadent-looking grilled cheese sandwich.

Shrimp Rolls
•
I made a batch of New England Hot Dog Buns the other day and only used half, and I wanted to clear them out while they are still fresh. New England hot dog buns are the bread of choice for lobster rolls, because of their soft texture and ever so slightly sweet taste. They…

Chinese Stir-Fried Tomatoes and Eggs
•
I usually leave our daily meals to Kak’mbang who is an amazing cook (but of course she denies it for some reason), where we usually have a few meat, veg and/or egg dishes with plain white rice. On rare occasions I contribute a dish to the table, and today I made a simple egg…
