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 it’s a lazy Sunday. It’s so shitty outside there’s a heat warning on! Stay inside, stay hydrated, check on your neighbors, that sort of thing! Temperature in the mid-90’s with a heat index of one hundred degrees! A big-ass line of storms tonight! Large hail possible! So I’m staying inside with the A/C […]
In which there was a long-ass road trip for both of us, some hotel lounging for him, and some much-needed spiritual renewal for me. Tuesday we slept in and then packed and drove to St. Charles, IL. It took forever, or about six hours. Checked into our hotel and slept. I was so excited to […]
In which many exciting changes — a move, a job change, and not one but two opportunities for travel — are afoot! The lease is up here, and while this apartment has some incredible amenities — such as southern exposure, a gas range, amazing cross-ventilation, and a wonderful view of a park with a pond […]
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 I watch TV, cook, and hang out online. (WHAT IS NOT TO LOVE ABOUT THIS RIVETING CONTENT, I ASK YOU.) Hi. Welcome to my day off. It’s pleasantly sunny outside, although the high is still ONLY ZERO DEGREES FAHRENHEIT. I am wearing sweats. They’re grey. The hoodie sports the logo of Scott’s alma […]
In which I LOVE THIS WEIRD BREAKFAST. This meal makes no sense. I mean, it’s basically bacon and eggs and toast, which is pretty normal, but then there’s tomato, mushrooms, and… beans? And the toast isn’t toasted, it’s fried. It makes no sense, at least, until you read some very, very old cookbooks and discover […]
In which there is no irony in this post. Happy Thanksgiving! Last night we stayed up late enjoying Christmas movies and adult beverages and this amazing hot spinach-artichoke dip we made somewhere around midnight. It was AMAZEBALLS. (Click the pic for a link to the recipe.) Then we slept and snuggled until well past noon […]
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: […]
