Twice this week (and it’s only Wednesday!) I’ve cooked and it’s turned out well. Even better than that, I even remembered to take pictures. I might turn into a foodblogger yet! There was nothing terribly groundbreaking about Monday night’s dinner. These were rehashed recipes, but thrown together in a new combination. Here we have grilled […]
I made the prettiest dessert the other night when the cute boyfriend was coming over. And, as always, dived into it without thinking to grab the camera! *rolls eyes* It was quite simple and could have even been healthy if I’d wanted it to. However, the cute boyfriend refuses to touch sugar free stuff as […]
My urge to cook came back hardcore. However, the effort that I threw into it yesterday may have served to completely kill that urge once more. I completely slaved on this dinner and it didn’t turn out all that great. It was all ok, but mostly just ok. I had decided that I wanted to […]
More fiddling with pictures. On this one I didn’t use the flash and let pshop auto correct the levels. The color is a wee bit off – vanilla ice cream isn’t quite that yellowy and the rim on the plate is green. Note on that – those pyrex plates are ones that I’ve been eating […]
I don’t have the patience for lovely staging of food photos for my blog. I tend to just snap a quick shop before digging in. The flash always winds up washing everything out until it all looks white. Believe me, though, when I tell you that this cake tastes amazing and actually looks fairly pretty. […]
Tonight I cooked a most excellent dinner. I cooked up my latest farmer’s market haul. Green beans, yellow squash, corn – all trucked in of course, it’s too early for that stuff to be in season here. I also sliced up a locally grown tomato that Pop said was really good. In addition to the […]
Yesterday, I had to work. This is not normal for a Saturday, but it was a special case. Being that I had to be there super early and would not finish before the farmer’s market closed, this means that I had to wake up super early to make it to the market before work. After […]
The weather is still horrible. It was raining all day yesterday and must have been about 40 degrees. I was freezing, but braved the ick for opening day of our local farmer’s market. I nearly had the place to myself. As I had expected, most of the produce was trucked in from much further south. […]
By the time I get finished cooking, I’m always too hungry to remember to get a picture. I tend to remember it when I am looking down at a half eaten dinner. The menfolk have obviously decided that if they want anything other than a sandwich, they are going to have to start doing the […]
I believe that I mentioned here a while back that my diet pill was causing complete disinterest in food. I was no longer obsessively surfing food blogs and watching food network to find new recipes. I’ve spent most of the last 2 months just eating whatever was easiest and fit within my calorie range. I’ve […]
