Recipes
CJ loves to eat, but she often says her cooking skills are
pretty basic. One of her 2010 resolutions was to spend more
time in the kitchen and she succeeded. For 2011 she's
decided to go a step further. She'll be taking an in depth
course in gourmet cooking, specializing (since she's living
there) in Asian cuisine. With that in mind, she will be
sharing the recipes she likes best every month.
She also invites her readers to send in their favorite recipes
for her to try. If she likes them, she will post them here
on the website.

This
Month's
Recipe
CJ says this is her
favorite recipe for Ginger Beef. It is one that was given
to her by a neighbor when she lived in Singapore and she adapted
it for Western taste buds. Add or subtract the ginger as
you want.
Ingredients
1 lb
flank steak
2 tbsp lite soy sauce
2 tbsp seasoned rice vinegar
1/2 cup water
2 tsp ginger, ground
1 tsp garlic powder
10 slices (1" dia) fresh ginger
root
8 large sized scallions
2 tsp corn starch
Stir Fry Veggies As Desired
May Be Added
Directions
Combine soy
sauce, rice vinegar, water, ground ginger and ground
garlic.
Defrost and slice meat into 1" strips.
Cut against the grain of the meat.
Put in refrigerator container and place in refrigerator
at least 20 minutes.
Peel ginger root, slice into thin wafers.
Dice them up with kitchen knife.
Wash scallions and slice them into small wafers.
Heat iron skillet or wok to high temperature (400
degrees) and spray with cooking spray.
When vegetables are browned, add meat, liquid and all,
to skillet or wok.
Stir, focusing on browning all of the redness from the
meat. The browning and cooking of the meat takes about
10 minutes; be sure not to run out of liquid.
If so, add 1 tbsp water at a time until no burning will
occur.
Mix corn starch in small amount of water at very end of
cooking. Pour slowly and stir quickly.
For a little extra cooking time, turn down by half and
let set, but don't leave it for more than 1 minute.

An Ancient Prophecy Comes to Life in an Erotic Tale of
Forbidden Love.
......The
Mylari Chronicles:
Eyes of
Fire
Available Now
An ancient prophecy
comes to life in the erotic tale of the forbidden love
between an elven prince and a kidnapped human woman.
Talia’s visit home turns upside
down when dark, frightening creatures appear seemingly from
nowhere and transport her to another world. The faerie
world. In this mystical paradise, she finds her life and
honor threatened for reasons she does not understand.
When Calion Sáralondë, Prince of
the Calen’taur Elves, rescues the human female from an orcan
stronghold, his attraction to her is immediate and strong.
And the feeling is mutual. Though their love is sardai—taboo—Calion
can’t bring himself to send her back to her world. Her
presence sets a fire in his soul only mating with her can
tame.
And their passion could be the
answer to an ancient prophecy that saves his world.
