In the Kitchen: June 2011

June was actually a bit rough on the Mrs. which occasionally means amazing dishes made out of desperation to escape the 'hellish' moments of teaching, studying and simply being, because for the Mrs. cooking (and enjoying finished products) is a great release. However, a rough month can also mean a true lack of time, inspiration and energy...as well as an increased sweet tooth, all of which is relatively apparent from June's kitchen creations. Regardless, here are 5 that are likely to happen again!

5. Thai Veggie Salad - Fresh, light, perfect for a hot and humid summer afternoon or evening, particularly when paired with good friends at a favorite coffee shop near home.

4. Choco-Coco Bars - A little slice of heaven after two weeks of MAED hell...seriously.

3. Nutella Mug Cake - amazingly quick and delicious and incorporates Nutella, what's not to love? P.S. Is made in a microwave so it's the PERFECT dessert for any and all living life in Korea sans oven. You can thank that Mrs. later, now you should just make the darn mug cake!

2. Vanilla Pudding - Absolutely scrumptious, especially if you're the man of the house and staying up late into the night watching TV and reading books...1/2 cup of pudding for the Mrs. and 4 cups of pudding for the Mr.

1. Biscuits and Gravy - A craving finally fulfilled...twice (or more if you count the vast amount of leftovers. Purchasing real butter at Costco and an Oven while in Korea are worth it if you get to enjoy a meal of this caliber, although, nothing can beat Grandma's biscuits and gravy....mmmmm, maybe Grams will read this post and figure out a way to make the Harrington duo some Biscuits and Gravy while they're home in August...hint, hint. (I Love you GRANDMA!)
