Chocolate letter goodness, that’s good enough for me!
Recipe: Nasi Goreng (Indonesian Fried Rice) 14 June 2011 10:15 am
Posted by Tracy in : cooking,eating,eggs,food snobbery,friends,ingredients,meat,not even vegetarian,recipes , add a commentThis post is dedicated to Allison, who wrote me back in April saying, “the latest Cook’s Illustrated has a recipe for nasi goreng, and they are just wrong. No fried egg? And the only dead animal is shrimp? Not good enough. But now I am craving it. Could you get your recipe to me somehow? That would be really, really awesome.” I replied with a link to the Everything2.com version of “my” recipe and confessed that I often cheat the seasoning of nasi with pre-made spice mixes — my favorite brand is Conimex, which the mystery Asian market in Eugene sometimes had, but I really don’t know where to get it otherwise short of next time I go to the grocery store in the Netherlands. (Clearly, I need to do more exploring in Chinatown(s) and beyond.) At the time my excuse for not making a TracyFood post updating the recipe included:
— trapped under an Otis cat
— full of Dinosaur BBQ from celebrating the launch of the update to PlaNYC (check out the section on food, website typos and all, because it’s kind of my baby).
— oh, you know, that whole pesky having-to-graduate thing
But I have pretty well run out of excuses, especially that last one, yay! So here, less than two months late, woohoo, and less than a month late for Allison’s birthday (sorry lady!), is that recipe, updated into TracyFood post form. (more…)

Weights are lifted that I did not even know I was carrying, party people.
Big huge thanks and love to everyone who has ever been supportive, including but by no means limited to everybody who sent nice messages on Facebook and/or Twitter when I was being all giddy on said media about graduation-related activities. Steinhardt faculty kickline FTW forever! And so on.
