Happy Monday friends! Did you guys have a good one? We had a big ol’ Vietnamese eating and drinking party on Saturday. According to Mike, these parties are called “nhậu.” Basically a bunch of people get together, drink and consume massive amounts of beer snacks. It’s kind of like going to an izakaya in Japan, or maybe heading to the bar for happy hour, only we did it at home since there’s no such thing as a Vietnamese bar around here.
Funny fact about that: almost all of the Vietnamese restaurants around here are unlicensed because some Vietnamese people get angry when they drink. Just so we’re clear, I have no idea if any of this is true, but considering this theory comes from Mike–who actually is Vietnamese–I’ll take his word for it. Plus, there’s this pretty crazy video of some girls throwing down in a pho restaurant that kinda sorta supports his hypothesis. No word on if alcohol was served there or not.
Anyway, we had a relatively tame night filled with our own version of nhậu food. These rolls definitely weren’t on the menu. They’re so so far from the traditional idea of salad rolls that I think my Vietnamese Food Lovers Club card would have been revoked if I even mentioned them. They are delicious though and a quick and easy dinner for those of you who are still melting at the thought of turning on the oven in the August heat.

Smoked Salmon and Avocado Summer Rollsmakes about 12 rollsprep time: 5 minutesactive time: 15 minutestotal time: 20 minutes
  • 12 round rice paper wrappers
  • 6 smoked salmon slices
  • 1 avocado, thinly sliced
  • 2-3 cups raw sprouts or cooked vermicelli
  • 1 english cucumber, seeded and cut into strips
  • miso sesame dressing or fish sauce vinaigrette, to dip
Take a rice paper wrapper and completely submerge it in a bowl of hot tap water for 10-15 seconds. Place the wrapper on a plate or cutting board – it’ll continue to soften as your assembling your roll. Add fillings as desired: avocado, smoked salmon, cucumbers, sprouts or noodles. Fold the bottom half of the wrapper up over the filling, hold the fold in place, fold in the sides and roll. Repeat as needed. Dip in the miso sesame dressing or fish sauce vinaigrette and enjoy!

Sunday Brunch with BAE: Bacon Avocado Egg Sandwich

By
Sunday Brunch with BAE: Bacon Avocado Egg Sandwich I’m a huge fan of breakfast sandwiches, not that I actually eat them at breakfast. I actually fail at adulting because I don’t do breakfast, except for coffee and sometimes medium-soft boiled eggs. Usually, Mike and I will have something around 10 or 11, or even just start our day with lunch. It’s not that we wake up really late – on the contrary, Mike gets up insanely early (around 6) and I wake up between 7 and 8. I’m not quite sure when I started not eating breakfast on the regular because I have really vivid memories of eating cereal as a kid. It was always Corn Pops or Cocoa Pebbles. As a teen I’d make myself a slice of dry white toast to eat while walking to school. Somehow breakfast eating fell along the wayside. But, I’m pretty sure I can get into eating breakfast on the regular, especially if these breakfast sandwiches were on the menu. I mean, you really can’t go wrong with bacon, egg, and avo...

Welsh Rarebit Recipe

Welsh Rarebit Recipe Yesterday Mike and I had a little midnight snack! We aren’t really midnight snackers, but I had just finished watching  Blue is the Warmest Color  and was feeling peckish – there are a lot of spaghetti shots in the movie. Which is  very long and very French and very much full of sexy lesbian scenes . It won a Palme D’or in 2013 and is very highly regarded, except on Netflix, where it has a rating of one star. When Mike suggested it I was a little skeptical but was very quickly drawn in. Mike not so much because he fell asleep. The acting was excellent so I recommend it if you like foreign films about the exquisite ecstasy of falling in and out of love. Anyway, when I finished the movie and woke Mike up, we decided we’d have a little bit of fun and shoot a post, casual style. I’ve always wanted to make Welsh rarebit and we magically had all of the ingredients in the fridge, so we went for it! Welsh rarebit, or rabbit, as it’s cal...
