Sick of tea yet? A little? I’m not, but I made something reeeally good for dinner last night and thought the internet might be interested! I saw a yummy-looking dish over at the kitchn, and decided that before the Meyer lemons disappeared for the rest of the year I’d have to make it. So I [...]

Lasagne of Emilia-Romagna: Daring Bakers March 2009
Thursday, March 26th, 2009I was wondering what kind of challenge we’d be thrown this month for Daring Bakers. Last month was easy as they come, and I was cringing in anticipation of some ridiculously complicated, week-long project. Luckily it didn’t take me a week, just an afternoon/evening. It wasn’t particularly easy and it was a crazy day overall, [...]
Eating My Vegetables
Thursday, January 29th, 2009I love carrots. I have ever since I was little – there are pictures of me as a baby gnawing on gigantic orange things in my high chair. They’re so fun to eat, and so sweet…yum. Normally, I keep a gigantic bag of baby carrots in the fridge and snack on them almost daily. Recently, [...]
I Love Risotto
Friday, January 16th, 2009Apologies if this is a little disjointed…meandering…non-linear…et cetera. I am sitting down to some of the most delicious leftovers ever after three or four hours of intense kitchen activity. Between the baking and the poaching, the skin on my face is tight and fresh (from all the steam). The poaching isn’t quite finished – that’s [...]
Why the House Smells Like a Pizzeria, Part II
Monday, January 12th, 2009I had a sad little sweet red pepper wrinkling away in the vegetable drawer, and recently unearthed my blender, so I decided to try making some red pepper sauce to have with pasta.
Iron Cupcake November: Cranberry
Saturday, November 15th, 2008I decided I really wanted to challenge myself, so I’m jumping into Iron Cupcake, in part because I was so excited about the theme! I’ve always loved a particular cranberry orange relish that my grandma always makes for Thanksgiving, so I knew I had to make a tangy, orange-spiked cupcake. Cranberries are interesting…there aren’t too [...]
And Now for the Food Part
Saturday, October 25th, 2008Sometimes, a recipe is so tasty that you don’t get a decent picture of it before it’s gone. This is one of those recipes. There aren’t any leftovers, either, so I have to make it again to make it look more appetizing (and I will, and eventually I’ll also drag my Very Photogenic black& white [...]
Photography is Hard!
Tuesday, October 21st, 2008Every time I cook something halfway interesting, I try to take a few shots of it, some for use but mostly for practice. My camera is nothing incredibly special but it isn’t bad, albeit totally clunky. It has a sweet flip-screen, though; you can see yourself while you take a self-portrait…Anyway, I find that, much [...]
