1. Another reason I don't drink: I can either spend $8-$9 on a single alcoholic beverage, or I can spend it on three ice cream cones. Come on, which am I gonna choose ( Read more... )

Due to popular demand, I bring you what is hopefully the first of many recipes! This is one of my new favorites. B1 and I made it for dinner on New Year’s Eve when we were looking for something cozy, yummy, and not too strenuous. This fish stew is definitely all of those things: it’s warm and hearty, the coconut milk and lime juice make it both ( Read more... )

I had another Moment last night when I made lamb tagine with apricots, olives, and buttered almonds with couscous. IT WAS SO GOOD GUYS, OH MY GOSH. I really wish my suitemates weren't both vegetarians; it's kind of sad to make this big, delicious meal and then not be able to share it with anyone. Especially on Shabbas.

I've got to do some baking this weekend, though. I love love love cooking, but it's time to get back to my roots. I'm thinking 7-layer bars, but I'm ( Read more... )

Passover is over, wooooo-hoo! tauruschick12 and liberty_witch, thanks so much for holding onto all my bread-related food this past week. I hereby return your virtual pennies and hug all of my bread, pasta, etc to my chest with all my might.

I made chicken parmesan with spaghetti and asparagus for dinner to celebrate. It was good. It was so good. And man oh man, if ( Read more... )

Because I am in a CULINARY MOOD. No need to do this yourself, although I’m always interested in what other people eat, want to eat, and won’t eat.

From Very Good Taste:

Here’s a chance for a little interactivity for all the bloggers out there. Below is a list of 100 things that I think every good omnivore should have tried at least once in their ( Read more... )
