Ile de France Camembert

2008-07-23T01:27:48Z

To know me is to know I love cheese. In fact, my friend Renea sent me this mug a while back and it pretty much sums up my daily life: So, when I got an email regarding sampling Ile de France cheese, I was all over it. I had my choice between ...

Vegetarian Taco Burger

2008-07-23T01:11:23Z

This is by no means haute cuisine, but boy oh boy, is it delicious. I give all the credit of this ingenius creation to B. If he ever decides to change careers, Taco Bell would be foolish not to bring him aboard as a food conceptor. That boy come...

Day 660 (Y2/D294): Who can break away to cook dinner when there's a John Hughes movie marathon?

2008-07-14T14:30:10Z

My silly S.O. Thinking I was going to cook dinner. Just because he's sick. And because, let's face it, I usually do. Couldn't he appreciate that watching Pretty in Pink and Some Kind of Wonderful was much more important. Plus I was busy, laptop on...

Day 659 (Y2/D293): The Clean Out Your Fridge Stew

2008-07-14T14:22:29Z

Why mess with a good thing? If you're willing to dirty up a pan (and let's face it, we all know I'm not always ready to do such a thing) then you're ready to make a good old-fashioned clean-out-your-fridge stew. And I've been making those a lot. ...

Hash Browns

2008-07-14T01:19:08Z

Taters were chopped into 1/4" pieces or so, sautéed and tossed in a little bit of ketchup and Dijon mustard along with salt and pepper. Then, the parsley was mixed in. Very simple, and very tasty.

Chana Dal

2008-07-13T22:26:31Z

I felt something was missing from my Tandoori Salmon & Chana Dal the other day... So I decided to try do something about it, with the leftovers. I chopped up and sautéed 3/4 of a leftover onion, halved some cherry tomatoes and threw them in also,...

Day 658 (Y2/D292): It's good to live in California

2008-07-12T17:14:50Z

Broccoli polenta with pesto

2008-07-12T04:08:43Z

The first time I tried polenta, it was out of those supermarket tube shaped packages, disappointingly bland, barely rescued by our spicy marinara. This killer homegrown version is a different animal grain altogether, rendering the accompanying pes...

2008-07-24T16:13:46Z

I'm not sure if Taco Night is still in the American dinner repertoire, but Meghan and I tried our hand at it for the first time in a few years recently. (Upon googling "taco night" I found this Onion piece, making me believe taco night is alive al...

2008-07-11T14:32:29Z

So, BlogHer is next week. Which tempts me to simply say: "Move along, nothing to see here, come back the week of July 21st...or even the week of the 28th." But in true obsessive blogger fashion I can't resist trying to keep up!! So, I have a qu...

Raviolis

2008-07-09T01:35:15Z

Last week I was in a ravioli-making frenzy. I ate raviolis five nights in a row. Five. Count them. I'm on what they call the anti-South Beach diet. :) This carb loving girl never says no to fresh pasta. What brought on this carb loading you ask? W...

Day 652 (Y2/D286): Lazy day, if you count working on the couch instead of at my desk Lazy

2008-07-06T17:00:08Z

It was a lazy day. I lounged on the couch all day (with my laptop.) But I did even take a nap...wile the S.O. was playing Rock band, if you can believe it. Got a lot of work done. Whipped a couple of yummy hodge-podge meals too. Loves me that Tra...

Day 650 (Y2/D284): New Vegan Cake at Whole Foods...yummity yum

2008-07-04T16:44:31Z

You may have noticed I'm a creature of habit. I hope I haven't just started a new one. Now, whenever I got to Whole Foods down my way in the South Bay and have need of a dessert, I pick up the Black China Bakery vegan chocolate cake. It's dense a...

Day 649 (Y2/D283): 12 hours in front of a screen

2008-07-04T16:34:30Z

Yes, Wednesday I spent 12 hours, literally, sitting at my computer, barely getting up to go to the bathroom and fix some food and occasionally take a phone call from my couch, not my chair. Before you lecture me: Yes, I realize that is bad for me...

Vegan: Animals Over Humans?

2008-07-03T23:29:32Z

Some critics of vegetarianism and veganism say that veg*ns care more about animals than they do about human beings. I think that vegansim shows compassion for animals as well as human beings, and in this video I explain why.
