I got adventurous again yesterday evening. Looking on Food Gawker emboldened me (told you that site was trouble … ) and I thought, “Hells yeah, I can make that bisque!” I am a fan of doing things from scratch as well, but this one was about to put me in over my head. Which isn’t …
But very rarely. I usually get the itch to every now and again, and I’ll go crazy with it for a few days, cooking constantly. The longest that has lasted is about two weeks. Then I pressure David to get back to it so he doesn’t get lazy on me. ;) Just kidding, he loves …
Ever since I was a little girl I have been overly obsessed with eating bread. With butter, with jam, with peanut butter, or, my favorite way of having it, with nothing at all. NOT toasted. I don’t know why, but I hate toasted bread, bagels, etc. Anyhoo, it’s a weird obsession to have, right? In …
I am admittedly not much of a sweets person. Besides the once a month craving for fresh baked chocolate chip cookies, I don’t find sweets to be appealing. Not ice cream, not candy, definitely not cakes or cupcakes – yuck. Every now and again I’ll try something I really like, usually homemade, but that’s rare. … Continue reading »
Curries of all types have become one of my favorite “foods” since I moved to Pittsburgh. There are two wonderful thai restaurants that serve up some yummy curries (Smiling Banana Leaf and Nicky’s Thai Kitchen, for those interested). I’ve always been a fan of thai-style, but have recently sampled some Indian curries that were also … Continue reading »
When I decided (late one night on a ride back from the Orlando International Airport) that I was moving to Pittsburgh, many of my friends and family were rightly confused. I think everyone thought I was going to move somewhere cool. Like Phoenix. Or Austin, TX. But I didn’t. I moved here. That was around … Continue reading »
Let me throw this out there now: my boyfriend and I absolutely love steak and other kinds of meat. He is a hunter (his parents hunt as well), and if that’s something that offends you, oh well. I don’t have a problem with hunting (trophy hunting being a huge exception) as a means to feed … Continue reading »
I love Mexican food. Like a lot. It’s at any given time my favorite kind of food. I will admit to not ever having it authentically until Cinco de Mayo last year, when a friend of mine challenged me to. She directed me to one of my new favorite food sites, Food Gawker. Don’t visit … Continue reading »
One of my favorite things to do nowadays (until I inevitably bore of it) is to experiment with cocktails. And make David try them. Without trying them myself at first. They’re usually tasty. The one pictured was actually made by David, a mimosa topped with a sprig of mint. It was super tasty and the … Continue reading »
As the title suggests, I have not “kicked” my DIY habit. I love experimenting with new recipes for things like shampoo, body wash, hair masks … I especially love anything to do with my hair. I don’t know why. You would think I’d want to be more cautious since it’s my hair and it could … Continue reading »
