Summer Corn

July 29, 2014

Summer is al about BBQs and outdoor fun! One of my favorite summer dishes is BBQ corn! I love it! When I “lived” in Hawaii for three weeks I became straight up addicted to corn. Ever since I came back I have been trying to find a way to emulate BBQ corn but the oven version. Sometimes its just too hard to start up the whole grill for some corn. After interesting and trying a few things I finally constructed a great recipe! This recipe was approved by my bro and cousin – they practically inhaled it. 

Ingredients:
  • Trader Joe’s Fresh Corn (4 in a pack)
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • Unsalted Butter
  • Chopped Chives (fresh or dried) or Paprika
  • Parmesan Cheese 

Instrcutions

  1. Put oven on 350 F
  2. Place aluminum foil in 13×9 pan (I use a cake pan)
  3. Cute corn in half and place all 8 pieces in the pan
  4. Sprinkle salt and pepper as desired. 
  5. Either sprinkle chopped chives or paprika – depends to your taste like. I prefer it spicy however my family likes it with chives.
  6. Line up the corn in the pan and thinly slice the butter and place on top and in between the corn.
  7. Put the corn in the oven – after about twenty minutes flip the corn around and add some more slices of butter.
  8. Once the corn becomes golden and starts to sizzle you take it out of the oven.
  9. Immediately after sprinkle and cover the corn with parmesan cheese while it is still in the pan.
  10. Place the corn in a serving dish and enjoy!!
It is so easy to make since it can be made in the oven – which means corn year round not just in the summer! Hurray!

Fereni [Rice Cream] Recipe

July 15, 2014

 

 

 

 

 

 

Today I want to share one of my all time favorite Ramadan dishes – “Ferni” also known as Rice Cream. My mom has been making Ferni every Ramadan since I was little kid. It is by far my favorite dish and have been wanting to learn how to make it for the longest time. I’m sharing this super simple recipe with all of you so that you can enjoy this delicious dish during Ramadan:


Ingredients: 

1/4 cup Rice Flour
1/2 cup Sugar
2 cups Milk [Whole or 2%]
1 tablespoon Rose Water
1 pinch Ground Cardamom 

Instructions: 

1. Combine milk, rice flour, and sugar in a non-stick saucepan.
2. Whisk ingredients together, then turn the heat on medium and keep stirring until the mixture thickens.
3. Constantly stir the mixture in order to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pan and burning. 
4. Just when it starts to bubble (after about 10 minutes) add a pinch of ground cardamom and rose water.
5. Once the mixture thickens pour into small serving dishes or one large dish. 
6. Garnish with saffron, pistachios, or nothing at all. Let cool and enjoy!

I, too, am a Terp

May 5, 2014

In the beginning of April I got an e-mail through the University of Maryland that a student was taking photos of fellow Terps for a capstone project inspired by The Race Card Project and I,too,am Harvard. I was curious and got in touch with Min Namkoong to learn more about her project and participate in it. Below you can read her words about this project and what led her to it:

“Inspired by “I,too, am Harvard” and “The Race Card Project,” I worked on a project as part of the BSOS Global Scholars program at the University of Maryland, College Park. Many minority students face and stubble with the feelings that they do not belong to certain cultures because of their race or ethnicity. Minority groups are, oftentimes, perceived as almost second class citizens in some environments. The University of Maryland is one of the most diverse campuses in the nation. The university itself celebrates and promotes diversity. I was interested in the thoughts of students at UMCP about their experiences regarding their race or ethnicity.”


I am fortunate to be able to participate in Min’s project. I hope more campuses are inspired and take part in this project! Check out the rest of the photos from the project on Tumblr #itooamaterp

Doggie Wedding

April 22, 2014

On April 12, 2014 Bazi [bride] & Felfel [groom] tied the knot! Bazi’s mom and I have been planning their wedding for a while. Yes it was an arranged marriage but thankfully they have grown to love each other. Being that both their moms are Persian the pups had a traditional Persian wedding ceremony. The ceremony was elegantly organized by the bride’s sweet Aunt Bahar. They celebrated their wedding with Doggie Cupcakes from Sprinkles – Felfel ate more than his fair share. For the humans there was Sprinkles Cupcakes & St. Honore cake from Patisserie Poupon. Call us crazy but there is nothing more perfect than a spring doggie wedding!

Sizdeh [13] Bedar

April 2, 2014

Sizdeh Bedar takes place on the 13th day of the Persian New Year and marks the last of the celebrations for Norouz. It is customary to celebrate Sizdeh Bedar  by spending the day outdoors picnicking with family and friends.
A custom of Sizdeh Bedar is to take the Sabzeh from the Haft Seen and throw it in a stream of water. This act symbolizes throwing away the negativity from one’s home. Another tradition of Sizdeh Bedar is for single girls to tie a knot with the sabzeh and make a wish to find a husband in the coming year just before throwing it into the stream of water.

Lettuce and sekanjabin are traditionally served during sizdeh bedar. Sekanjabin is a syrup made of vinegar and honey.

Travel Wall

March 31, 2014

It’s no secret I love to travel. When I travel I have two souvenir musts for myself 1) jewelry 2) artwork. I started a travel wall with the artwork I bought on trips I’ve been on as a way to have a piece of my travels hanging on my wall that I can admire everyday. Recently I hung up the lovely artwork I purchased while at DC Eastern Market a couple weeks ago. I’m loving the new addition!
