In which there was spaghetti for dinner! I made tofu “meatballs” today. (The recipe is here.) I’ve never eaten actual meatballs, so it was a strange exercise, but hey: I had all the ingredients on hand and needed to use up the tofu! Alone, they’re really bland, but in sauce they’re fine. (I didn’t make […]
In which there’s a picture of a food I ate! I read a lot of recipes online, because they’re free and ubiquitous and frequently useful, if not just as written but for ideas, but they drive me nuts more often than not. Calling a recipe delicious or easy or quick or inexpensive is fine, but […]
In which there’s yum. So today I made pinto beans, brown rice, enchilada sauce, salad, and spicy crumbled tofu, and here it all is assembled into a meal on a plate. Electric pressure cookers are amazing for making beans and brown rice, by the way. You can do beans from dry in 35 minutes and […]
In which this is my first meal of the day, so it’s breakfast! Pink pinto soup and a brie sandwich on baguette. I didn’t get up until nearly four o’clock this afternoon. I was supposed to have gone to meet my aunt for lunch, but I was still asleep when she called around eleven-thirty, and […]
In which there’s white trash refined carbs! There are a lot of ways to make macaroni and cheese. Most of them are stupid, if you’re tryna get a meal on the table and not fuck with getting a bunch of extra dishes dirty, because they want you to do shit like make white sauces and […]
In which I continue to try to figure out why I care so much about people being wrong. today in the shower i gave an imaginary person a lecture about chiropractic: “chiropractic doesn’t do anything but separate people who can afford it from their money “there are one or two adjustments that actually do something, […]
In which I cooked, like, all afternoon, basically. Today, I made two salsas: A hot poblano-corn relish: Spicy black beans: Mexican brown rice. That weird cottage cheese guacamole I make. And shredded chicken, for him. Cheddar, sour cream. There’s leftover queso blanco dip, so I heated that up, too! What the hell! Look at that. […]
In which I catalog not terribly relevant stuff! Realizing that your youth is well and truly over is so fucking weird. One, you now know that people don’t even know what youth is until they’ve left it. Two, now you’re a grown up, and you’ve finally gotten some wisdom and some work ethic, and now […]
In which there’s a picture of food, because isn’t that what the internet’s for? Look! It’s the spinach frittata from The Lowry. It was delivered, of course, because we never go out, especially not for brunch. The love of my life is basically impossible to roist out of his home for trivial things like eating […]
In which I don’t understand. Why do store-bought dips suck? I bought a huge container of artichoke-jalapeno dip last weekend, and while it isn’t exactly inedible, it’s really not good. You can safely buy salsa — well, many of them, at least — and those sort of 70’s-style chip dips (like French onion or whatever), […]
