My husband purchased a oil-free infrared fryer earlier this month and it's one of the best purchases he's ever made. We used it to cook our ham. The crust is crispy and the inside is so juicy. See the picture below.

Best part about having a leftover turkey is making sandwiches the next day

I didn't have to roast a turkey for Thanksgiving because we went to my mother in law's house and my cousin in law's house for 2 Thanksgiving dinners during November. So I decided to roast the turkey at home on Christmas Day.

This year, Christmas is wonderfully quiet because I'm 8 months pregnant and not advised to travel. Plus, my husband has to work overtime so we had 2 great excuses to not have to drive far to see family. I love seeing family but after such a busy Thanksgiving week, this pr...

Dim Sum House in Morrisville, NC is a nice surprise

Posted by Sailorgirlfriend.com on Saturday, July 6, 2013, In : Food

We were craving for dim sum so we researched for places with dim sum near where we were during our road trip and found Dim Sum House is Morrisville. Conveniently located not too far from my highway exit, it was easy to spot the big sign for the restaurant.

The squids looked cute all stuffed. Although some may not like squid, it's very delicious once you get used to the texture. We usually use toot...

Hash House A Go Go is the best breakfast spot in San Diego

Posted by Sailorgirlfriend.com on Tuesday, January 29, 2013, In : Food

I can't believe the amazing portions Hash House gives you! It's ginormous.We always share a plate with another person when I am here and we still don't finish the plate. The ambiance is amazing but the wait is really long so you either avoid coming with a large party to come here (takes longer to get seated) or come super early!
