Made okonomiyaki with my niece over the weekend! Who knew cabbage pancakes topped with bacon and sprinkled with furikake would be so tasty? Turkey bacon was also a good choice, since it didn't need to fry as long to cook all the way through ( Read more... )

Had a ridiculous fun time with guernica_shaw and emelye_miller on Wednesday, and again on Friday morning. :) Great seeing y'all! The movie was AWESOME (I had to whip out the book and prove to Mom that yes, the horcrux smooching did happen, right there on page 377, chapter 19, it wasn't something made up for the movie), and wow, I want to go to the VIP seating at the ( Read more... )

My GOD I am brilliant. I have achieved the pinnacle of my cooking prowess, to the point where I called my dad to announce his imminent ousting as the Master Cook of the family. Hail Hestia!

I made a spanakopita last night that truly embodied all you ever hear about of the food of the gods. (I am so getting a thunderbolt to the ass any second, I ( Read more... )
