Chestnuts

My housemates can seriously live in the wild... They figured out that a neighbor has a chestnut tree, and that the neighbors don't eat them. Logical reasoning? Eat them ourselves :)

After different methods, (yes we had that many to experiment with...), we figured out that cutting, coiling, and then baking does that trick in getting the fuzzy part and shell off.

So basically, Christmas came early.

ohhh shiny...

Homemade Pizza

My housemate and I made pizza some time ago and they turned out beautifully. We made four pizzas, and three different styles. All were delicious!

Sweet Sunday

Korean yams are a little different from the usual orange ones. So I attempted to make a Korean sweet potato pie. I think I used a little too much cinnamon, but I think the reception was good. :) I made them last year during a friend's "spontaneous gathering of friends." I hope we do one of those again soon~

Rosa Mexicano

I personally didn't order this, but my friend had ordered the "chamorro," pork shank. The picture doesn't do the chamorro's size any justice. It was HUGE. Everyone at the table was a little shocked... just a little haha.
