Dinner tonight was half a roasted chicken breast marinated in balsamic, garlic & soy sauce, roasted sweet potatoes with a really light honey and olive oil glaze, roasted garlic on a slice of my bread and salad greens from the farm share with some dressing. I put everything in the oven and played DDR until it was ready. Woot.

Friday was an insanely busy work day with a lot of cake, followed by Old Crow Medicine Show with stentoriansista, prettyprincessb and mareska. Having had very little contact with the band, I must say I had a good time! We went to The Red Derby (otherwise known as the awesomest bar ever) and had really tasty sweet potato fries while kind of watching some weird ass movie. I'm toying ( Read more... )

There's something very odd about the fact that part of the reason I'm having such a good day is that I'm going to go home & cook after work. I'm looking forward to it - to trying my hand at low-fat ice cream (why do all the recipes call for the evaporated milk & unflavored gelatin I spurned at goingdriftless' food giveaway?!), making a loaf of bread that cooks ( Read more... )

I could not be more thrilled... I've spent a lovely weekend with stentoriansista. We went to Larriland Farms on Saturday and bought probably $75 worth of fruit - raspberries, white raspberries, blackberries, probably 20 pounds of apples and peaches. We've got a raspberry crisp about to be made, blackberry wine sorbet churning and we're going to make apple bread ( Read more... )

So, I picked up the farm share, got home, pulled what I thought was a pork chop and put it in the microwave to thawed. I started a ghetto version of my mom's quick marinade (balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, garlic, olive oil & herbs and I threw in a dessicated lime that's been hanging around), found the pork chops I'd ask stentoriansista to leave out for me, ( Read more... )

Yeah, it's another one of those "here's my pantry, tell me what to cook" entries. So ( Read more... )

I don't understand... I went to go make myself some delicious crockpot chicken soup that I've been craving... Before I started to chop the veggies, I went to the freezer to defrost my chicken breasts and... and... they weren't there ( Read more... )

In a similar vein of spending money I don't have, I'm starting to think I need a new computer. I only use mine for internet, photos & iPod and it's not working very well right now for internet or iPod - though the iPod itself may be the problem considering how frequently I drop it. Add to this the fact that it was bought in 2003, doesn't hold a ( Read more... )
