Free Easy Fries from Ore-Ida

Monday, September 19th, 2005

School has started, and it’s killing my blogging energy. I keep forgetting to take pictures of the food while I make it, and now I have old pictures piling up, unedited and without recipes. Great time management skills have I do not, Yoda would say.
But I just found this, and I figured the […]

Recipe for a Smile

Monday, September 12th, 2005

Everybody has a bad day sometimes. Lucky for me, the sure way to cheer my girlfriend up is the one-two combo of flowers and a pint of Ben & Jerry’s Coffee Heath Bar Crunch ice cream. With two spoons, of course.

Tomato Tart in a Parmesan Crust

Friday, September 9th, 2005

We still have way too many tomatoes, and I needed to do something different, so I tried out this Tomato Tart with Parmesan Crust recipe from 101Cookbooks, and substituted my tomatoes while adding some fresh mozzarella. It turned out pretty good!

Que Bueno! Labor Day Weekend es bueno también

Sunday, September 4th, 2005

You know it’s Labor Day Weekend when… you have to open a huge tub of Ortage nacho cheese that’s shelf-stable for 200 years. It felt a little bit weird having a get-together in light of current events, but it was good to see the people and talk. Slightly charred food (not my fault), nachos, […]

10-minute Pesto Biscuits

Friday, September 2nd, 2005

My new discovery of the week is biscuit mix. Biscuit mix + Shredded Cheese = Cheesy Biscuits! Biscuits + Herbs = Herb Biscuits. Now that’s the kind of math I like. I had some left-over pesto… so I defrosted some of my stew and made some pesto biscuits!
Ingredients:

2 ¼ […]
