Normally I use Kraft’s Fat Free Mayonnaise for most things, because of Jan’s diet restrictions. Jan suggested that with the general theme of my blog, “That Fresher is Better,” I should try my hand at real mayonnaise.

Karl’s Italian White Bean Dip
This Sunday we will be going over to the kids’ apartment, so I need to make my dishes transportable. Miriam is still on the soft food diet, so she has asked for bean dip. I think I will make two, a white bean dip and a black bean dip. I was thinking of finding a yin & yang serving dish, but I was not able to find one in time for dinner.

Karl’s Caribbean Black Bean Dip
This Sunday we will be going over to the kids’ apartment, so I need to make my dishes transportable. Miriam is still on the soft food diet, so she has asked for bean dip. My White Bean Dip is a mild, Italian dip. I am thinking the black bean dip should be spicy and Caribbean.

Karl’s Japanese Chicken Curry
Eilene is having a bunch of her friends over for an overnight. She challenged me to make a Japanese curry. I do not particularly like Japanese curry, but it is for her and her friends.

Karl’s Blueberry English Scones
Adapted from a Zurie recipe
We had leftover blueberries from dessert last night. Jan woke up with, “I wouldn’t mind blueberry scones this morning.” Please note that she never really asked for scones, but that is just her way. I usually make oatmeal scones, but today I wanted to do something different.

Karl’s Quick Four Bean Salad
We rent out house from our friends, Peg and Russ. They live in Texas. This morning, they texted that they were in San Jose and could we get together? We invited them over for a last minute Fourth of July BBQ.

Karl’s Garlic Barbequed Corn
Nothing beats barbequed corn, except garlic barbecued corn. You can just throw shucked corn right on the grill and have the really good taste experience that American Indians have been having for literally centuries. However, I was raised in California where the motto (should be): “We reserve the right to fusion every cuisine.” I like my corn directly grilled, where the corn kernels are exposed to the heat and get a bit of charring.

Jan’s Red, White, and Blueberries
This is one of those more of a technique than a recipe. We have friends coming over for a last minute BBQ. Jan decided to make this as a Fourth of July dessert.

Karl’s Chinese Whole Steamed Fish
Steamed fish is something we had many times while we were in Chengdu, Sichuan, and in Hong Kong. It is actually a fairly simple recipe. I reconstructed it and I have continued to make it since we come back.

Karl’s Steamed Dong Quai Chicken
We were introduced to this dish while we lived in Chengdu, Sichuan. Dong quai is a Chinese root that is good for women. Suffice it to say, that what ginseng is supposed to do for men, dong quai is supposed to do for women. If you want to know more, The Soup Queen goes into far more (and personal) detail on the subject than I possibly could. I do not make this dish very often, only when my women are feeling ragged.
