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’m astonished at the texture! I like to read recipes. I have liked to do so since they were in actual books rather than on the internet. I especially like to read old recipes. The oldest through the newest, to see what’s changed and what’s the same. Ancient recipes, medieval recipes, 20’s recipes, […]
In which there’s a recipe. I’ve been eating these all week. They’re really just bean tostadas, but you should make some anyway because they’re fantastic. This is a strange but delicious guacamole. Make some. (Click on the pic for the recipe.) Now put it in the fridge to chill. Put some grated cheese — I […]
In which there’s the staff of life. I made another whole white wheat sourdough boule! Whoo! This decent loaf somewhat redeems me from that ridiculous Pyrex debacle from last week I’m not going to tell you about. It’s not 100% whole white wheat like usual, though, because I used white flour for kneading, thereby probably […]
In which there’s no recipe BECAUSE BREAD IS ENTIRELY fucking RANDOM! Whoo! IT’S ALIVE! This is one of those food blog posts in which the author bangs on and on about nothing and talks about her personal life, but there’s no recipe at the end so it’s technically not one of those posts, you know, […]
In which there’s a recipe from my grandma. I came across the image below from a few years ago, remembered how really delicious that frosting was, and realized that I have no idea how to make old fashioned frosting. So I googled it. Weird results. (I mean, I’m off carbs right now, but it’s unlikely […]
In which sometimes you just don’t want to turn on the damn oven. I had intended to pop over to the grocery store this afternoon, but by the time I was ready it had started raining and has been raining ever since. So I had to make something with what I had, so macaroni and […]
In which there’s a process more than a recipe. A pudla [ pooda, poodla, puda, chila, cheela, chilla ] is a savory pancake made from lentils, rice, and/or flour. They’re cheap, easy, delicious, and I think it’s weird that I’d never even heard of them until last year. (Apparently they’re a breakfast food in India, […]
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 […]
