Why the House Smells Like a Pizzeria, Part II

Monday, January 12th, 2009

I 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.

Back to the Kitchen

Friday, January 9th, 2009

I managed to make something yummy to eat last night!  I think I’m pretty much back to normal, and am now not afraid of yogurt…because it turns out to not have been the yogurt.  Because now Z is sick.  So I guess I caught something somehow…that didn’t have any symptoms at all up until the [...]

More Suited to a Summer Meal…

Saturday, January 3rd, 2009

I’ve got some really fun confections I’m planning in the coming week, so I’ll get this one out of the way.  I just finished the leftovers of this for dinner tonight, over soba noodles, though I ate the rest of it with rice.  I think I just prefer noodles to rice these days when it [...]

Yet More Learning By Doing

Thursday, November 13th, 2008

I’m having a bit of writer’s block as far as a creative entry, but at least I made something delicious for dinner!  Well, we didn’t eat JUST this…there were some leftovers, too, but this made a fresh and tasty addition to the meal.

How Many Links Can I Put in an Entry?

Friday, October 24th, 2008

I’ve got another apple pie just out of the oven, this time made a little differently from my original recipe: no sugar added aside from a couple generous splashes of maple syrup, a big glug of vanilla extract, and a dusting of ground ginger (not fresh this time – I wanted the bite to be [...]

Photography is Hard!

Tuesday, October 21st, 2008

Every 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 [...]

Filling the Days

Monday, October 20th, 2008

As many people know, I recently (ok, this past July) left my job as manager of a local record store for the domestic life.  Though overall it was a great opportunity to expand my musical and cinematic tastes and I met many wonderful people, staff and customers alike, I’d had enough stress and decided it [...]
