recipe: green rice
I love green rice. We make it anytime we make Mexican food that's effort (i.e., not tacos or fajitas), because it's very simple and kind of cooks itself while you're rolling chimichangas or whatever.

2 poblano peppers
large handful (about 1 cup) fresh cilantro leaves
2 cups hot water
1 cup short grain white rice
drizzle oil

salsa mexicano
Last night Addason called (he's in NYC for the summer) and wanted to know his big brother's recipe for that really fabulous salsa he makes. Apparently, the boy is having a great time making his own meals, for the first time in his life, and Aaron was more than happy to share all his recipes. This salsa is particularly delicious, easy, and can be ( Read more... ) -

I threw my back out last night. The "official" story according to Jenny is that I did it while having sex bent over the kitchen table, but it also might have happened while I was taking Bella out of the shower to get her ready for bed. Your call. But oh my god do I ever have sympathy for everyone who's ever thrown out their back. I've never ( Read more... ) -
