Recipe from Karla Baumhover Pengsagun

1/2 package (16oz) wide rice noodles
2 1/2 Tbsp. vegetable oil
2 cloves garlic
1/4 lb. pork, cut into 1" by 1/4" pieces
3 Tbsp. dried shrimps, small size
2 Tbsp. salted radish, chopped (optional)
2 Tbsp. fish sauce
1 Tbsp. thin soy sauce, Dragonfly brand
2 1/2 Tbsp. sugar
1 Tbsp. lime juice
1 cup bean sprouts
1/4 cup unsalted roasted peanuts (break up in a mortar and pestle or chop with a chef's knife) Cilantro to garnish

Boil 3 cups of water.  Pour over noodles in a large bowl and soak for 20 minutes until softened. Drain.  Heat oil in wok, until hot but not smoking.  Add smashed garlic.  Add pork. Fry until meat is no longer pink.  Add noodles, dried shrimps, fish sauce, sugar, lime juice, and bean sprouts.  Stir fry for another 3 to 4 minutes until mixed up and heated through.  Add salted radish, if using (rinse if very salty).  Stir fry another minute.  Toss in the peanuts, tossing to mix.  Remove to a platter or individual plates to serve. Garnish with cilantro. Serves 2.

    In Italian, the word "gelato" means "frozen" more than it means "ice cream." So, for as much as we have heard that gelato is the Italian equivalent of ice cream, this "gelato" is really a frozen mousse
    In Italian, the word "gelato" means "frozen" more than it means "ice cream." So, for as much as we have heard that gelato is the Italian equivalent of ice cream, this "gelato" is really a frozen mousse of a dessert. Quick and easy, with no ice cream maker needed, this dessert may be served as a chilled mousse or frozen completely as a "gelato."

    Celebrate warm weather with nature's sweet berries. Simply served with a light dusting of powdered sugar, this dessert is not a sugar overload, because it relies on the natural sweetness of in-season berries.

    Here is smoky and slightly spicy twist on fried catfish. Instead of coating the catfish in a thick beer batter, I marinate the raw pieces in beer before seasoning them and lightly dredging them in flour
