In which we talk about breakfast! Yum! Because while I read a lot of involved, uplifting, active, and self-referential blogs, personally I’m just not that interesting. Plus: there’s a bunch of food porn!
Yesterday I was craving a big old bowl of the Egyptian breakfast food known as ful medames. The stuff is just so delicious [...]
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, right? [...]
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 onion, chopped
20 to 25 medium mushrooms, [...]
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, I took [...]
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 say so myself! I [...]
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 bar. It’s a [...]
In which I liked it enough to make it a second time, so that means the recipe goes on the Intarweb 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 that [...]
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 beans (kidney, [...]
In which there’s a request — from Shigeki — for a recipe. I’m so happy to oblige!

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. water, hot
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 ‘morning’ [...]

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 they [...]
In which I bitch but there’s a recipe, so that almost makes it worth it.
I hate electric stoves!
While I’m certain they’re a vast improvement over wood stoves, they still suck. Suck, suck, suck. You cannot adjust your flame, so you have to remove your pan from the burner and wait — sometimes a few minutes [...]
