Made soft-boiled eggs (cooked in boiling water for six minutes and dropped in ice water). Made the marinade (1 c water, 1/2 c soy sauce, 1 top sugar, 2 scallions chopped, 2 cloves of chopped garlic). I peeled the eggs and put those in the marinade for at least 4-6 hours. #recipes #tasty #yum

These are very good!! I used the following recipe:
www.jamhands.net/2016/12/soft... I did add a splash more rum extract because I just like that flavor in holiday cookies.
I also substituted one stick of Earth Balance for one of the two sticks of butter the recipe calls for.

At our house, we have a Japanese snack subscription box delivered every month. My husband and kids talk about the snacks and try everything. One of the flavors we've learned that we really enjoy is red bean. Sweetened red bean paste is great on pancakes.

A warming winter drink worth trying. Squeeze the juice of 1 orange into a mug, with a cinnamon stick and two cloves. Top that with hot water and let steep for a few minutes. You can remove the cloves after steeping if you're worried about swallowing them :)

Rooh Afza is a unique summer drink that I happen to love. This bright red rose-flavored syrup can be added to seltzer water with a slice of lime or mixed into milk. A lot of ice goes into either rendition. Let me know if you try it!!
