I'd planned to do some baking today for a couple of days and then I had to wake up in the morning feeling queasy and weird at the thought of eating anything. After I dreamed about food in the night as well ( Read more... )

I think I'm in a food coma. Or maybe a 'dreading to do the dishes' coma. As I've mentioned on twitter, I've been reading Julie Powell's old blog, the one that half of the movie Julie & Julia is based on. The problem is that I'm very impressionable when it comes to food and reading about delicious cooking for two days is about as much as I can take ( Read more... )

It occurs to me that I haven't posted any recipes in approximately forever. Mostly I've been rehashing old favorites a lot and my camera is still out of commission. I'm starting to do more creative cooking again since I rejoined weight watchers though ( Read more... )

I keep underestimating how much dried chickpeas will expand if you soak them in water. I love hummus, but I didn't want to end up with a galleon of it and made chickpea stew out of half the peas. The idea came from soup recipe I found online ages ago and then promptly lost, but I remembered chickpeas, tomatoes, spinach and cinnamon and experimented ( Read more... )

I've been meaning to get back to this meme for a while now. Today I finally did! I'd planned to send slashbabe> a box of peanut butter cups, but at the last second I decided to swing by Hockenheim instead and deliver them myself. The weather has been really warm and I was afraid the cups wouldn't survive the journey by mail ( Read more... )
