Bring in the pig!

My sister asked me for some easy dinner recipes and I'm going to attempt to accommodate her here. She's a big fan of meat (when presented with a tofu curry, she asked repeatedly why there was no form of the good stuff located on her plate) and alcohol (who doesn't like Sunday Funday?), so here is my marriage of the two.

Shallot Risotto with Sausage in a Beer-Mustard sauce. And some green stuff for color.


Bomb-diggity.

Thai Coconut Chicken Soup

Thai food has always seemed far too complex to attempt, but this recipe is shockingly easy and magically tasty. Probably because the most difficult part of this fantastical assortment of ingredients (the curry paste), is easily purchased in stores. Of course, it's far more rewarding if you make the paste yourself, but we're not always going for rewarding. 

We're going for awesome. And by gum, that's what we're getting!
