I really wish I had some puffed wheat.

-My sister made samosa-stuffed potatoes (you bake the potatoes, scoop out the flesh, mix it with other samosa-y ingredients, and then put them back in the shell and bake some more--kind of like twice baked potatoes with Indian spices ( Read more... )

If you were making a dessert comprised of chocolate cups with berries in them, what would you put on top? Not whipped cream (we don't like whipped cream).

Any suggestions?

I just ate the first strawberries from my garden!

Yum.

There is nothing like making stuffed mushroom caps to get me excited about cooking again. I had been in a cooking funk for about a month, since things got really busy and stressful at school and work, and I didn't feel like cooking at all. But today we accidentally got some mushrooms and so stuffed mushrooms it was. Yum ( Read more... )

-I will recover from all the stress of the past two weeks. I will eat good food all day (so far: a roma tomato, soy milk, banana with peanut butter), and I won't eat just to fill myself up.

But I'm ( Read more... )

I don't know how I feel about being a writer again. On the one hand, it feels good to be creative. But writing is hard, and it takes up so much time. I went out for early dinner with some friends tonight, and I got home around 7:30 to a free evening, my first one in awhile. I don't even have school tomorrow, so homework can wait (all day tomorrow ( Read more... )

Yesterday night and the night before we had fog, real fog drifting down the street and obscuring people on the other side of it. On saturday I went to a party and walked home 50 blocks in it, and yesterday while I should have been going to bed I had to go out and take a quick walk around in it. I love the way it changes everything ( Read more... )
