Slow Cooker Old Cucumber Pork Rib Soup
I’ve never really had “home-cooked” soup at home as a kid. Coming from a Teochew family, soup isn’t quite a main cast on our dining table. When Ah-mm was younger, she used to cook soups, but delicious as they can be, her Salted Vegetable Soup, ABC Soup and Napa Cabbage Soup aren’t the kind of “Traditional Soup” that my Cantonese friends are used to having at home. I’ve never felt “deprived” or anything (I probably ate better than most people growing up- the obesity was a tell-tale sign), but I do love soup.
Orange Chiffon Cake for the Lazy Baker
I’m not quite the baker, but boy, do I love cake. :) This is my first attempt at chiffon cake and I am surprised how uncomplicated it is. I wouldn’t call it easy, but it wasn’t too bad once you got the egg whites whipped up. I probably wouldn’t do it again because I should really re-name my blog to “The Lazy Girl Who Loves to Cook”, but nothing quite beats the satisfaction of baking my own chiffon cake instead of buying one off the corner bakery.
