Distracted by Bali

Since my last post, I have made several, simple yet satisfying, dishes: lemon curd, spicy tomato soup, crab-stuffed jalapeños, and warm spinach & roasted potato salad. All required little cooking time but featured good, bright flavors. The lemon curd and tomato soup were motivated in part for a friend who recently underwent oral surgery and was on a week-long, soft food diet. My beau found recipes for stuffed jalapeños in celebration of Cinco de Mayo; we substituted with crab salad and washed it down with jalapeño margaritas. Roasting jalapeños mellows their flavor, so we wanted the spice back! He flambed the jalapeños in tequila to release the heat before mixing up the drinks. Mmm.

I will expand on the posts and publish the recipes at some point, but I am currently distracted because we're going to Bali! Consequently, I've been obsessed with reading and researching for the trip. Drop me a line if you have any good tips!
