3 days of yummy dinners

Saturday, July 12th, 2008

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 […]

The death of baking

Thursday, June 26th, 2008

Since I’ve moved, I really don’t bake anymore. I love my gas stove. Did you know that it is possible to make cook n serve pudding in the span of a commercial break? It always took something like 20 minutes at dad’s house. Needless to say, I’m trying not to keep so much pudding in […]

Experiments with pears

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.

Fridge cleaning

Thursday, April 3rd, 2008

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 […]

RIP meat thermometer!

Sunday, February 17th, 2008

*sniff* I accidentally killed it dead. And it was such a handy gadget! How, praytell, did I manage this? Broiling pork tenderloin and touched the thermometer to the element. OOPSIE! It was a horrid sacrifice, but dinner was yummy enough to make up for it. Broiled pork tenderloin crusted with curried mustard, served with peas, […]

A surprise to the palate

Sunday, February 17th, 2008

Sparks and I went away to one of the state park lodges for a couple of days. We were celebrating both Valentine’s day and our second anniversary. Being that we were pretty much in the middle of nowhere, the lodge restaurant was the only game in town for acquiring dinner. Their Valentine’s special dinner was […]

1 chicken= 3 meals

Monday, January 14th, 2008

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! […]

A random bit of food porn

Monday, September 17th, 2007

I’m currently on a business trip – my first solo excursion longer than a day. I’m actually having a bit of fun exploring Columbus. Tonight, in my wanderings, I came across someplace called Stoney River for dinner. Pricey, but holy shit that was the best steak I’ve had in a very long time. I went […]

Too many!

Sunday, July 8th, 2007

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 […]
