 I’m a little late for this, but if anyone else is scrambling for a school Valentine Party at their kid’s school tomorrow, here is what I just did. You probably won’t think it’s as funny as I do, since they aren’t your animals. But it might do in a pinch! Click on this for the link to [...] 
Approximately three times a week, at about 6pm, I can be heard asking anyone standing within earshot, “Should we have Green Curry tonight?” So sick have my family become of this question, that now treat it as rhetorical. Tonight I had Green Curry. It should be noted that the vocal portion of the family were gone. That left [...]  (Sorry Guys, No Exclamation Mark for this One.) Meatless Monday Six was non-blogworthy. We had baked potatoes and broccoli. Yep. That’s it. That’s what we had. I even had a plan for it. Knew what I was gonna make. Tweeted about it. I’ll be honest: I might not have allotted enough time to make what I planned to make, but [...] 
In the direct opposition to Meatless Mondays, we had a Meatfull Sunday. Albeit was the Superbowl. And we do have a loose tradition of eating chili for the Superbowl. So it’s not like I was snubbing my nose at going meatless. It just seemed funny to me that while I was thinking ahead to the [...]  Basil “Ricotta” Ravioli with Sage, Walnuts and Browned Butter As usual, a few disclaimers. 1) yet another scramble at the last minute* 2) very few photos of process 3) very tough day** * It wasn’t supposed to be a mad scramble. I had the butternut squash in the oven by 3pm to use as filling for the ravioli. However I [...]  May 10, 2000 – February 1, 2010 We put Buzz down this morning at 8:30 am after a relatively brief battle with bone cancer. I’m struggling to find the right tone for this post. Can I laugh and keep it lighthearted? He was a lighthearted dog. Or will I wallow in the quagmire with my tears [...]  My Favorite Potluck Meal Yes. You heard me right: Potluck. Growing up, I was a picky eater. Thankfully, my kids are not picky, aside from their deep (and recently conquered) fear of Sloppy Joes. However, if you have a picky eater, you will know what a traumatic event the evil potluck dinner can be. You know who you [...]  Indian Daal, Naan, Fried Rice… HOMERUN! Well, I finally did it. I spent some TIME and I PLANNED a Meatless Monday meal. And now I know why I didn’t do that before: It takes a lot of time. I blew the whole morning looking at recipes. The whole morning. Part of that might be because I got lost [...] 
I am a strong advocate of not buying all the kitchen gadgets I believe I want and need for a few reasons: I am a miser Oh for Heaven’s sake. I don’t have the room. And if I don’t have the room, I can not believe [...]  Ridiculously Simple Miso Soup This is not the Meatless Monday recipe I had planned to share. It is, I admit, a really LAME recipe to share, given it’s simplicity. And the fact that it hardly constitutes a meal. I think many would say, “Why even bother posting Miso Soup?” Well. I’ll tell you why. Warning: Tangental information approaching. I love [...] |
