I have this thing for almond bark. The most amazing bark I’ve ever tried came home with my mum from a small chocolatier in the Swiss Alps, where she was vacationing. Little did she know this most amazing chocolate feast was not available for purchase online as well, and so that tiny supply which came homeContinue reading “bark.”

sauteed, 1.5
Shiitake mushrooms and red onions, cooked low and slow for a spinach salad with hot balsamic dressing. Amazing.
asparagus, 11/2011
I’ve been working quite a bit with my hands; and veggies like asparagus. I just need to get back to recording them here, properly. Spinkled with salt, bathed in olive oil, roasted in an oven. Winter is here, almost.
morning, 10.23
I made homemade granola the other week. I just wish I had more relaxing mornings at home to enjoy it. Why is the weekend a mere 2 days?
baked, 9.27
Sometimes you just want to get home, throw the mixing bowls and spoons out on the counter and get to work. A tough week means pouring over one thing I know always comes out right: my ginger snaps.
homemade tortillas, 9.25
Homemade tortillas, pico de gallo, black beans, and the like; made for Tiffany and Mack, two ladies who really know how to enjoy a quality Mexican feast.
homemade donuts, 8.15
Awhile back, my sister and I decided to make three different types of mini donuts–blueberry glazed, plain, and chocolate. The blueberries came from the bushes at my mum’s house and the chocolate ones were an experiment that needs much more tweaking, but all and all, I’d make these again, most likely. Donut making, however, isContinue reading “homemade donuts, 8.15”

Incredible; use beer with some taste, too, so you actually get that beer batter. I used Brew Dog’s Hardcore IPA, which is just as good coated over onions as it is going down the gullet in liquid form. Drink it, cook with it. More from the two recipe project, of course.
two recipe project #5, fish tacos with spicy slaw.
Didn’t, unfortunately, get snaps of the fish tacos, but they were done on the grill and goddamn delicious, particularly when paired with this made up spicy cabbage slaw on the side, which was filled with jalapenos from the garden. A hit, for sure. I haven’t kept to my goal-unfortunately, its been so hot many days,Continue reading “two recipe project #5, fish tacos with spicy slaw.”

Lovely turkey lettuce cups makes a perfect humid, hot night’s dinner. It’s light, refreshing, and doesn’t boast too many ingredients or a lot of time slaving over the stove. The fresh ginger, cilantro, and scallions are gorgeous in this and the ground turkey had loads of flavor. This recipe is available in Martha Stewart’s brilliantContinue reading “two recipe project #4, 7.7”

This is what summer is all about: throwing on a dingy shirt and heading into the yard to pick cherry tomatoes off your own plants for the evening dinner. Bliss.
two recipe project #2, 6.12
The next recipe in the two recipe summer project; things have been quite busy, so I’ve already wavered from my plan a bit, but now that school is over, the chances are further and farther that I’ll actually keep to the goal. This is a warm dressing salad–balsamic, red onion, thyme, and shitake mushrooms, sauteedContinue reading “two recipe project #2, 6.12”
