In which there’s a first time. Okay, like basically everyone on earth, I’ve heard of scones with clotted cream, but I’ve never had it because I’m American and the only time I’ve ever set foot in a fancy tea room was as a performer and not a patron. Last week one of my co-workers told […]
In which there’s hours of cooking. First you have to soak the chickpeas and make the bread, so best be starting the day before. Because we’ve got executive function, oh yes we do, so it only took, what, three weeks of thinking about it before we did it. Anyway, I made some super high hydration […]
In which nobody will find this interesting, but I’ma write it anyway because I feel like it! One thing I thought, at first, was really cool about the whole MIU campus experience was the vegetarian (!!!) dining hall. Vegetarian! All of it! I’d gone vegetarian within, I think, half a year of moving out on […]
In which I can’t fucking cook AT ALL anymore?! Yesterday, I hurt my back walking across my kitchen. Just walking. (After doing several other things, chores, window cleaning, and dropping something and startling so hard I somehow actually caught it: that was probably when the twinge really began. But we’ll say I was walking. Because […]
In which I’ve gotten up from a nap hungry. Apropos of nothing, I have a sudden and intense desire for a fish sandwich from McD’s?! What the hell! They’re terrible! Every time I eat one (this happens once or twice a decade, on average) I regret it. — Update: For the record, I settled for […]
In which I decided to blog. So here’s a blog post! Enjoy! It will not be interesting. My contact lenses showed up a few days ago, so I’ve just sat down to fill out the rebate. (The only reason I ordered this new brand of contacts was that the optometrist’s office told me they’d be […]
In which there’s baking. Tonight’s dinner: A freshly baked loaf of bread on the left. On the right, leftover bucatini with store-bought vodka sauce and tofu “meatballs” I made with basically no regard for the recipe I’d read. Fresh basil from the plant on my kitchen window sill! Not shown: it cooled down to the […]
In which I’m making soup! I’ve just put some vegetables, herbs de Provence, and broth into the Instantpot. Will add cream when it’s done and blend it. Baked a stunning loaf of bread last night; gonna make a brie sandwich with it and that’ll be dinner! Pluto has a channel that just plays endless back-to-back […]
In which these are my go-to pizza sauces! Since I got into #breadin5, I’ve been making a lot of pizza. Here are my favorite pizza sauce recipes. Tomato Sauce 14 oz can tomatoes 3 – 4 garlic cloves olive oil balsamic vinegar salt & pepper red pepper flakes Blend until smooth. If you don’t have […]
In which there’s a TINY GRILL! So I use a Chase VISA that gives me points. I spent some on this little grill and it arrived today. I realize it’s a pandemic and I probably should have turned those points into cash but JUST LOOK AT THIS ADORABLE, PORTABLE LITTLE THING. Holy shit. Smitten. Now […]
