I spent last night on the phone and IM'ing all over the place. Scott is still sick, so I cooked a frozen pizza for dinner. Tomorrow I'll have some food for you, promise. Look - pictures I took on the weekend. Hey, why don't you go check out my links to other food bloggers? Maybe you'll find...
Ruth from Once Upon A Feast is celebrating a big milestone today - the 40th edition of her Presto Pasta Nights! I've taken part in 20 PPN's. I'm surprised, I thought it had been more. I've had my eye on a rice noodle dish from one of my favorite books (don't I say that about all of them??)Rebar...
The best thing about NaBloPoMo? Finally getting rid of some posts I've had sitting in my draft file for ages. And this is one of them!!!!! You guys! The movers are bringing all our stuff to our new house today! Tomorrow and maybe the next day will be pre-written posts, but I'll be back shortly with...
WARNING!!!!!! THIS POST IS RUDE! DO NOT READ ANY FURTHER IF YOU ARE UPTIGHT OR EASILY EMBARRASSED. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. Thanks to Dave for the photos.
Oh man! I'll tell you, NaBloPoMo is tough, especially if, like me, you are not a very interesting person. But still I persist! Which is hard after today. (I am really writing this on Tuesday night and am going to use the majic of blogger to post this tonight for tomorrow before I fall asleep.) There...
Early October. Salmon Run at Adams River.
Here's a similar but hopefully clearer picture of the kitchen. This stove is flat top - or do they call them ceramic? I'm scared of it, to be honest. Also, the oven is self cleaning (whooooooo!) and has convection too. Fridge with ice and water! Gotta run, there will be a sprout post tomorrow for...
The last week Scott and I were in Calgary we made sure to do some fun things. We went to the Zoo, we ate Thai food on my birthday, and we spent a few hours in Chinatown. Calgary's Chinatown is one of the largest in Canada. Located downtown right by the river, it's a really pretty area with lots of...
There are tons of food bloggers out there that I am in awe of and Tanna, the hostess of this month's Daring Baker challenge, is definitely one of them. She has a beautiful site, is articulate beyond belief, and! she chose a savory recipe for the challenge this month, bless her. They are my favorite....
I am a huge fan of Ina Garten, but until last week I'd never made one of her recipes. I don't have any of her books, and the recipes she has either don't appeal to me, sound too rich, or make too much food (like the baked ham for 35). So I admire her from afar and covet her kitchen and garden and...
This weeks pasta dish for Presto Pasta Nights is the last pasta dish I made before we left Calgary. It was totally excellent, because I used up a ton of stuff from the pantry that I didn't have to throw away, give away or pack! I cooked up all my little amounts of pasta - a bit of fusilli, some...
When I posted on Saturday I included a picture of my sprouts that I was growing, pretty much because the picture wasn't blurry and that have been a novel thing on this blog lately. Both Deborah and Cris asked me to share some information about how I grew the sprouts. There's really not much to tell....
At the store I came across Grapples in the discount bin. Have you heard of Grapples? They are apples that taste like grapes. I am both horrified and curious. I'll let you know what I think. Also, we got our first snowfall. *sob* To cheer myself up I made a big tall glass of my new favorite drink:...
A couple of weeks ago I told you that we'd received a juicer. I've been having a wonderful time with it, juicing pretty much everything in sight. Here's our juicer. Sorry for the poor photos, our camera is being more of a shit than usual. The juicer is a Breville: It came with some recipes so we...
I hate my camera with the intensity of a thousand burning suns. After carefully documenting each step of this recipe with pictures, the crappy picture below is the only one not blurry. Perhaps I should start drawing pictures of the food I cook. Couldn't be any worse. So, stuffed jalapeno peppers!...
The round up for Weekend Cookbook Challenge #20 was full of yummy recipes - as are all of the the round ups - but Valli's contribution of Tiganopita me Feta - basically a baked pancake full of feta cheese really piqued my interest. How could it not? A pancake - and it's full of feta cheese! I made...
Here's a short post of some meatless meals we cooked while staying with my parents last month. Last Christmas I bought my Mom Food To Live By and was immediately jealous - what a great book! Then last month I received my own copy courtesy of Lis. I have the nicest friends! When my father demanded...
I have the world's largest container of hummus in my fridge right now. See? That's 908 grams baby - just over 2 pounds of hummus. Having parents with a Costco membership is both a blessing and a curse. I'm eating it as fast as I can. Scott is helping a little, but he doesn't like hummus as much as I...
