In which I LOVE THIS WEIRD BREAKFAST. This meal makes no sense. I mean, it’s basically bacon and eggs and toast, which is pretty normal, but then there’s tomato, mushrooms, and… beans? And the toast isn’t toasted, it’s fried. It makes no sense, at least, until you read some very, very old cookbooks and discover […]
In which there is no irony in this post. Happy Thanksgiving! Last night we stayed up late enjoying Christmas movies and adult beverages and this amazing hot spinach-artichoke dip we made somewhere around midnight. It was AMAZEBALLS. (Click the pic for a link to the recipe.) Then we slept and snuggled until well past noon […]
In which there’s a recipe for soup, because I want to know EXACTLY WHERE THIS IS and not have to read a dozen other recipes again the next time I decide to make soup for Scott. I haven’t eaten chicken noodle soup for a few decades, probably, but I remember the Campbell’s and Lipton versions: […]
In which I was out of salsa but, believe it or not, had all the following ingredients on hand, so I made some! Easy Salsa Ingredients 1 15 oz. can diced tomatoes, drained and juice reserved 1 small onion, finely diced 1 jalapeno, minced 1 large clove garlic, minced 1 Tbsp. olive oil juice of […]
In which there are a million chai recipes, but this one is mine. My Chai Ingredients 3 c. water 2 c. whole milk 3 black tea bags 2 whole cloves 1/8 to 1/4 tsp. ground cardamom 1/8 to 1/4 tsp. ground true cinnamon 1/8 to 1/4 tsp. ground ginger 3 Tbsp.jaggery, or to taste Method […]
In which there’s a snack orgy for Sunday dinner. I worked all weekend, of course, because nobody gives a shit that I MOVED TWO THOUSAND MILES TO HANG OUT WITH THE GUY I LIVE WITH AND NOT TO WORK AT THE FUCKING HOME DEPOT. Working evenings and weekends sucks. Yesterday evening my beloved came to […]
In which there’s THE BEST tomato soup recipe ever. You’re welcome. There’s a recipe for homemade tomato soup online that’s written very strangely. It has half the necessary tomatoes and six times the olive oil and it confuses the hell out of people. I’m posting my adaptation of that recipe here, because prepared this way […]
In which standing is apparently much healthier than sitting but it hurts like a bitch. While I really enjoy my new job as I’m doing it, my feet hurt, the pay’s lame, and the schedule is horrendous. Don’t even get me started on the noise and the horrible lighting and the concrete floors, or the […]
In which there are Mason, Kerr, and Ball jars. I like jars. You can get a bunch of them for like twelve bucks, and use them for pretty much everything from juice glass to food storage to coffee brewing. They’re probably less awesome in kitchens with stone floors, but in general if you don’t drop […]
In which there’s silk! I did the Bloggy Gift Exchange again this year and it was, of course, totally fun. I got to santa for a new mom who loves pink, and my own gift-giver was long-time friend VUBOQ, who spoiled me rotten. He sent me a fuzzy TARDIS throw and a handmade bowl/mug set […]
