Last night I finally beat my fear of the flame! I flambeed bananas foster. Maybe they were a bit better for it, I’m not sure. Now that I don’t have a big greasy range hood, I decided to give it a shot. I started a fire in the kitchen ON PURPOSE and the world did […]
More experimentation for dinner. I decided to head to Fresh Market and let it inspire me for dinner. Braised chicken sausages Garlic green beans couscous and… roasted brussel sprouts! Go ahead, get all the icks out. I’d never had a brussel sprout, and honestly they didn’t “look to suit me” as Pop would say. So, […]
Early this afternoon, I decided that I wanted to make a roast chicken. My friend Mari says that she always does hers in the crock pot and it’s scrumptious. Ok, I’ll give it a shot. But I had to go buy myself a crock pot. I didn’t have one, just used dad’s when I lived […]
One of my absolute worst habits is the wasting of food. It’s obscene, the amount of food that rots in my fridge while I eat microwave popcorn. I think part of it is that I have good intentions. One of the things that I wind up throwing away the most of is bagged salads. I […]
Let’s talk bellyfiller. You know, one of my favorite subjects – food. On Thursday night, I stopped to pick up some hamburger so that we could grill out. Kroger had some lovely avacados and I thought I’d be sweet to my adorable boyfriend. So, I came home and mixed up some guacamole that he could […]
I’m still a terrible food blogger. What can I say? This blog isn’t my first love. My first love is the LiveJournal. Since the poached pear evening, I haven’t done anything amazing in the kitchen. My AC is busted and I’m eating a lot of sandwiches or cooking simple things. I did make a kickass […]
Well, well, now. That was one damned tasty dinner. My camera is still packed away someplace. I shoved all clutter into the spare room and closed the door. Much easier than actually cleaning the house enough to have company.
Whenever I have a party, there are leftovers out the wazoo. I was raised by a bunch of women who think that they must feed the entire Marine Corps whenever they have company. My friends were obviously raised by folks with the same viewpoint. Therefore, we can put out a serious spread. This is why […]
On friday, I bought a rotisserie chicken at the grocery. I get those occasionally and usually eat one breast off of it and the rest of the chicken rots in the fridge. Not this time! So, on friday night, I had a nibbly meal with chicken and cheese and fruit and olives and bread. Yum! […]
Ack! What to do with a plethora of tomatoes! Have I ever mentioned here that I really don’t like tomatoes? It used to be a full on hatred, but I’ve been teaching myself tomato tolerance for the last few years. I still don’t want to just pick a tomato fresh from the garden and bite […]
