In which there are eggs. I woke up here in the new year, grabbed my phone, and searched ‘egg & chips.’ (Leftover fries in the fridge, you see.) Found this recipe from The Irish Times and had all the ingredients on hand! Got up and cooked. So, here’s eggs & chips with a green sauce […]
In which there’s bread and soup. I went to the bakery down the street today and bought bread (a baguette and a rye boule), and then I served some for dinner with a pot of yummy soup! Saw a meatless pasta e fagioli recipe online that called for lentils, so I threw in some Beluga […]
In which I cooked a lovely meal. I have today off! Slept in, got up, took some saag paneer out of the freezer to defrost. Made rice and dal fry in the electric pressure cooker. Made carrot raita. Here’s lunch! Considered making some naan or papad, too, but didn’t. Four courses is plenty. Yum!
In which I found this recipe online somewhere and it’s fantastic. This is the red sauce Taco Bell uses in their bean burritos and on their enchiritos. Copycat Taco Bell Sauce 1 8-oz can tomato sauce 1/3 cup water 1/4 tsp chili powder 1 1/2 tsp cumin 1/2 tsp onion powder 1 tbsp white vinegar […]
In which I have thirteen inks!? Well, this is my fountain pen ink collection. I don’t think I realized I had so many! The hues I have are these: Grey, horsetail brown, tundra green, teal, damson purple, rouge opera red, black, violet, apple green, orange yellow, rose pink, lavender blue, and syrah red. The syrah […]
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 travel! And I repeat myself! Going to see Amma in D.C. this weekend! Jai Ma! It’s the most wonderful time of the year! I think this is my twentieth year in a row going to see Her, which is astonishing and weird. Staying in a Marriott. My man decided not to come […]
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 it’s nearly X-mas! The tree’s up, there are lights around the windows. I’ve done all my shopping, wrapping, and shipping for the year. Cards have been sent. We’ve received a single Christmas card — it’s on the table. Thanks, Polt! — and a gift from my aunt, a cooler full of frozen Omaha […]
