Day 2 in BC. Really? (Pinch, pinch). Rise and “shine”, Beautiful City. 🙂 We woke up to A.M. drizzles. If waking up was hard to do, decision-making was even harder. With only four days to venture around Vancouver, Mr. Chi-Town and I caught ourselves silently going back-and forth with our to-do list. Priorities change once …
Hi there! Welcome to Part 11. Thank you for (re)visiting As it Cooks. 🙂 Long time, no blog. No blog, no fun. But it’s a can’t do it all, can’t have it all world, folks. Truth is I’ve been having a blast since the summer break began. A much needed break for sure. I’m a …
Shameless? Indeed! So what? I went for seconds. And on top of that, I took a shot at this lovely, memorable slice of roasted chicken sitting cozily on a messy dinner plate. It’s my plate, so what? The white meat was super moist, super tender. The crispy skin had an interesting savory bits of spices …
Yikes! As it Cooks is 1, folks! Here’s my question for you. How did you or how would you celebrate your blog’s first anniversary? There are a few options. Nothing fancy. Bear in mind, it’s going to be in the Great Plains. Option 1: An inviting piece 0f dark chocolate and a juicy, fluffy raspberry …

This might sound a little cheesy, but I do thrive on love, affection, thoughtfulness, caringness, and humor. Just knowing that I Love and I’m LOVED sweetens my day. Like sunshine. Like this pretty homemade moist Malaysian …
After an evening of great galbi, we woke up to a lazy, pre-Valentine’s Day Sunday morning. So what’s next? How about breakfast at Tee’s? No, nothing expensive Think Comfort food + Romantic + Pleasurable + FAST. During the brain-storming session, Mr. Chi-Town and I kept coming back again and again to the one-and-only superstar of …
Hi, I’m back! Want to know what happened to my Get Your Kicks Galbi? They’re all gone… But I have the recipe! I can make it any time I want. You can make it any time you want, too. But before that, shall we get back to the question I last left you with? So which is …
What do you do when the mighty ice storm hits, the roads are frozen solid, and there’s no where to go? I pipe dream. I pipe dream of food. Good food like Chicago good food. As I sit here by my frozen window in the middle of nowhere in the Jupiter-hit Great Plains, I close …
