Hard Rock Beijing

After three trips to the same hotel in downtown Beijing I finally noticed that my hotel was next to the Hard Rock. Now, it is not for not looking. I am usually gazing out of the car window in an attempt to recognize any recognizable landmark that I might be nearing my hotel, the Hard Rock being a good example. But the smog is usually so thick that I can’t even see the doormen much less the door. It gives me that Jack The Ripper London feel as I walk around never knowing who will pop out around the next corner. After horrible hotel food I am glad to see I have at least one other option and I will now give to eat there at least once just to say I tried it.

Simply Recipes

Zucchini-muffins

I know I am going to sound like a girl, but I love this site (http://simplyrecipes.com/).

Last night I cranked out:

All before I went to soccer, all from what we had in our fridge.  I have tried just entering ingredients on Google, but I think that Simply Recipe has done something to raise their search profile as they so regularly show up and the food is so good that I just go to them direct now.  If I liked the recipe I send a link to Evernote and store it FFU.

I'm no cook, and I don't do well with cookbooks, but if I can identify it in the fridge I can cook it.

Now after 3 cooked dishes last night, I'm thinking take-out tonight :)
