Moo Shu is something that I've never had before in my life. It's not a staple of American-Chinese restaurants in Oklahoma or Texas. I believe it's mainly an East coast thing; brought over by Chinese immigrants and exploding in popularity in the 1960's. The dish never really made it past the Mississippi River.

Since Gonzaga is always so good at basketball, I always justĀ assumed that it was located on the east… Continue reading Gonzaga Smoked Trout Soba Noodle Bowl
With the weather gradually turning cold, all I can think about cooking are soups, stews, and chilis. Anything that is hot and liquidy sounds perfect to me on a windy, cold day in Oklahoma. I can't believe that when I was a kid, I loathed soups and stews. I still, to this day, can't stand… Continue reading Thai Potsticker Soup
