In which there are things I’ve cooked. (Or baked! I guess baking is a different category.) I cook a lot, for a variety of reasons. Eating out is expensive. I live in the middle of nowhere and can only go out to eat if he (and his car) are home. I’ve become an experienced cook […]
In which there’s a tuna sandwich. I baked a loaf of bread and made a pressed sandwich: We ate it for dinner! (The expensive olive oil canned tuna has the texture and taste of canned tuna from my childhood. Made me feel a weird sort of nostalgia, even.) Update: holy SHIT was this amazing the […]
In which I’ve made PERFECT baguette! Holy shit, IT’S A MIRACLE! The #breadin5 dough has been hanging out in the fridge since the 17th, so today I baked it up and THE RESULTS were SPECTACULAR: The crust is delicately crisp, and the crumb is glossy and soft with lots of holes. It actually did that […]
In which there’s not really a recipe so as much as an assembly idea. I have leftover chili and it needs to be eaten, but another bowl of chili does not sound appealing. So I’ve mashed up a few recipes and here’s chili cheese enchiladas. Ingredients: leftover chili corn tortillas cottage cheese grated cheddar, divided […]
In which it’s the #breadin5 recipe! Okay. So. There are cheeses that need to be enjoyed with good bread. Not the crap from the Safeway bakery, but good bread. What they call artisan bread now, what used to be rustic peasant bread. Bread you can only get from fancy bakeries now. I got too spoiled […]

In which his mom freaked out and sent us a ton of stuff! Four gifts each, eight total, more than doubling what we had under our little tree for each other! Before: And after: I got an electric hand mixer! And a bath caddy! And other fun stuff! And he got clothes and toys! And […]
In which there are leftovers. I made aloo matar, carrot raita, and naan for dinner. Even though I halved the naan recipe I still have four or five leftover, so have been surfing for ways to use them. Behold these fancy pizza ideas: – Naan, olives, pesto, red pepper flakes, grilled artichokes, walnuts, chopped parsley, […]
In which Christmas is in two weeks and I finally put up the tree! How is it Christmas in two weeks?! What the fuck, time. Of course, in Minnesota we’d have already lived through two blizzards and weeks of sub-zero temperatures, so the lack of brutal weather makes it sorta feel like it’s earlier in […]
In which I’m already planning next year’s tomatoes! While there is a back yard on the west side of the house so enormous it could support an absolutely giant garden, there’s also a huge shade tree back there, and tall fences, so I’m not really sure about sunlight. Plus, to put a garden in the […]
