And I'm speaking as an omnivore here (though I'll admit to herbivore leanings). Tonight for dinner we had a veggie fest: wilted spinach, tomatoes & cream, zucchini bread ( Read more... )

So Sunday when I made the Chicken Tikka Masala and Garlic Naan, I said I would be testing out a new recipe for Palek Paneer to use up the rest of the naan. Or maybe I forgot to mention that. Point is, I totally did. Make the recipe, that is. And I learned something muy importante: I do not know everything! Holy shit! I had no idea! Whoot ( Read more... )

Over a month ago I hosted all my co-workers for an evening of homemade Indian food. And it was tasty! Only I had my old crappy camera at the time. Cut to tonight, when I made two of those dishes again, and later in the week I'll try a new recipe of palek paneer (b/c I wasn't thrilled w/ the old recipe) and I'll make the bharta again. I'll let ( Read more... )

When I say world famous and award-winning, I mean they placed third in my company, which is ( Read more... )

Hey, y'all. Last night I made tomato bread pudding, recipe supplied by the bodacious amand_r, and completed the Great Trial Run of the Hello, Cupcake cookbook, as supplied by the magnificent neifile7. As a picture is worth 1,000 words and I am supposed to be writing up a storm on other Things, I present to you, a mainly pictorial play-by-play of the night's ( Read more... )

It's tomorrow somewhere, so that means it's lawsontl's birthday! Happy Birthday!! I wrote a double drabble for you, read it, and thought, "Wow, that's not cheery. That's emo and depressing." And then I partook of the Frangelico. And I wrote a companion piece to it! It's a lot cheerier. They're each 200 words. Plus, for the resident foodie, some ( Read more... )
