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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
