Good news. Bad news. I almost impulse bought a weeklong culinary vacation in Tuscany. I think that the only downside of the last twenty minutes is that I didn’t buy it. I wasn’t the least bit concerned with: going alone, being with middle-aged people, or having to be on other peoples schedules. The only thing…
One of the great parts of about these Downton Abbey meals is that I’m pushing myself to make appetizers and desserts. I mean, let’s be real, I’m just one person here … and when cooking dinner for myself there is no need for an appetizer or dessert. I can usually be found demolishing half a…
I hate wasting things that I’ve bought… especially food wise. This really bugs me. I tend to be pretty good at utilizing all the things I’ve bought. My primary downfall is greek yogurt. I’m not sure why but if I end up throwing anything out for going bad … it’s greek yogurt. Never the whole…
Ah, it’s another week of Downton Abbey under our belts and that means another 3 course meal. So here’s what the menu was for this episode: – mushroom tartlets – roasted cod with tomato pancetta stew – almond chocolate cake I’m not sure how much longer I can keep this charade up honestly… however, it…
In the event you were wondering, it is most definitely soup season. It’s like I don’t know how to exist without a stockpile of frozen homemade soups in my freezer. Currently I’m rocking some arugula lentil soup, chorizo lentil soup and now this little gem. A brown butter tomato soup.
I’ve never made deviled eggs before. But something about them seemed appropriate for a Downton Abbey premiere party. It didn’t seem right to have a party to celebrate the 1920s … and not have more than one course. Here’s what I ended up serving: – Deviled Eggs with sun-dried tomato and fried shallot! – Shepard’s…
I’m always willing to try something new. And, it’s soup season bitches. So, let’s all get on this carby liquid diet. Let’s be real. I’ll never be on a diet. I first saw this soup on Feed Me Phoebe’s blog soon after I got back from the pig roast in Vermont. Phoebe was part of…
I’m really great at hibernating. Hibernating means sweatpants, giant pots of coffee, and eating all day long. With Hurricane Sandy visiting us for a few days this week, I was given the opportunity to practice my hibernation skills. Since we knew about this weather event for nearly a week before it showed up, I got…
This is a good news, bad news recipe. Good news? Avocado fries are tasty. Bad news? Avocado fries are easy. I’m getting ready to go to head to Maine for the Labor Day holiday weekend… and as a result, I’m trying to eat anything in my house that will expire. I was a little overzealous at…
It’s been a long while since I documented anything on le blog. I’ve been busy being reckless and turning 29 and organizing my life. Boston’s been a wee bit warm so cooking hasn’t exactly been the highest priority … and there are only so many times I can show you a picture of Boston Harbor…
