Ch-ch-ch-changes

Monday, July 13th, 2009

When I purchased The Asylum, I declared that it was absolutely perfect as it was, there was no need to change a thing. Um, except this one little thing and that one little thing. Do you know what happens when you casually mention to my father that you (ok, only if YOU are me, his […]

Tour d’Asylum

Tuesday, June 30th, 2009

I’d forgotten that the day I came over to take pictures, I got so wound up with talking projects with Dad and giving tours to my friends that I completely forgot to take pictures of the OUTSIDE. Dur! I’ll admit to not being super pleased with these pictures, but pictures of empty houses aren’t terribly […]

For the love of spring and lemons

One of the things on my to-do list for my vacation was to do some baking. I rarely seem to find time to experiment in the kitchen these days. It seems that I didn’t really find the time over my break either. I just wasn’t feeling inspired to cook, instead I spent the week either […]

A lovely dinner!

A bit of foodblogging goodness! Last night, I lay awake last night obsessing about spaghetti squash. That actually wasn’t the only thing I was thinking about. I was thinking about the scallops in the freezer that were beginning to freezerburn. I was also thinking about the fact that I had bacon. Grilled, bacon-wrapped scallops! So, […]

Ysha is great! Made us chocolate cake!

I love me. I rock the house! But damn it, I forgot to make them sing the song! This morning, I picked all of the chicken off the carcass from sunday’s dinner. I cooked a little rice and mixed in with it, then sauteed up some onions. I dumped in a can each of green […]

Exhausted and hungry pays off for Ysha

Monday, July 21st, 2008

You know I love to chronicle my food adventures when I am out of town. For one thing, it makes Mimi drool and call me bad names. *giggle* Plus, I’m all alone and therefore must turn to LJ for company. Today didn’t seem that it was going to be a good day. I had a […]

Not dead yet!

Oh hey – a recipe of sorts. Consider this a super simple beat the heat kind of beverage. I peeped in the fridge the other night and noticed I had most of a bottle of sweet and sour mixer. So, I rummaged around and found an unopened bottle of club soda. Lots of ice 1/2 […]

if i thought it’d make you love me, i’d put soup on a stick

I know, not one peep in almost two months. Have I stopped cooking? Nope. I’ve even made a couple of completely scrumptious things. I’ve just not taken pictures. I guess I’m too lazy to be a good foodblogger. Did I stop crafting? Nope on that one too. I just haven’t taken any pictures of anything. […]
