In which I might finally tackle the whole ‘learn to make decent bread’ thing this fall! Srsly! Since bad bread isn’t even worth eating and good bread is expensive, I’ve been thinking for a looooooong time about maybe learning how to make my own bread. It’s not rocket surgery, so it can’t be that hard, […]
In which today brings a us recipe! Left Coast Girlie says: “Here’s the yakimandu recipe. You can remove the meat and use tofu and veggies like mushrooms and cabbage…. Thought I’d share.” Yaki Mandu 2 pkg. (30 sheets each) wonton wrappers 1 lb. lean ground beef or chopped sirloin 2 medium carrots, chopped 1 large […]
In which my Saturday is lovely. I took Raybo out last night. The woman raises three kids – and keeps a man – so she deserves the occasional late night out with the girls. Got home late. Really late. Like, three-thirty in the morning late. Last night after (finally) folding all of my clean laundry, […]
In which there’s a little northern Indian food festival in the kitchen! Last night, I cooked. A lot. Rajma masala, cumin rice, and curried spinach to be exact! I’d never made rajma before, so I googled a few recipes, read them carefully, and then went ahead and cooked. The outcome was stunning, if I do […]
In which breakfast is the best meal of the whole morning! Vegetarian white trash breakfast from hell… …is a light rye, veggie sausage, plasti-chee sandwich, with a hash brown patty and a home-made latte. It. Is. Good. …and Dinner: In other news, a falafel place opened up (!!!) in the front of the Hickory House […]
In which I liked it enough to make it a second time, which means that the recipe goes on the intarwebs for YOUR reading pleasure! This soup is easy to make, nutritious, and cheap. I’ve made it twice — the first time I made it up as I went along, and it was yummy enough […]
In which I do something specifically because he told me to. He’s such a bossy kitten. I made chili today for the First Annual Blogger Chili Blog Off! (which was actually last Saturday, but punctuality is not really my strong suit). I more or less used this recipe, except today I used three kinds of […]
In which there’s a request — from Shigeki — for a recipe. I’m so happy to oblige! Broccoli-Cheddar Soup 2 T. butter 1/2 onion, finely diced 1 clove garlic, minced 1 small carrot, finely diced 1 T. all-purpose flour 1/4 tsp. dried dill 1/2 tsp. dried basil 1 whole clove 1 bay leaf 4 c. […]
In which I cook Indian, freak the fuck OUT — omg! you have no idea! DUDES! — on a virtual world, and talk about the perils of knitting. In the process I manage to put a rather astonishing number of links into a single entry. (Mouse over ’em for snap-ups!) This morning (and I use […]
In which I present you with a list of my recent accomplishments! Yay! 1. I finished knitting the first gauntlet. 2. I applied for a job at Cambridge. 3. I wrote a letter to Brumbaugh & Quandahl, PC, LLO, Rat Bastards about the levy on my checking account, inviting them to either provide evidence that […]
