it's my birthday and i'll recap if i want to

Significant events of the next 4 days: I have two performances on Sunday (just like Saturday). My parents are in town for the day on Monday (my only day off). We’re moving on Tuesday/Wednesday (mornings before I go to work). There are also shows on Tuesday/Wednesday evenings (plus the rest of the week). It’s my […]

new food friday 09.24.10

We’re packing up to move to a new apartment in a few days, so we’re trying to minimize the amount of stuff (food included) that comes in. It’s not quite pantry-busting, but I’m really trying to use what we have. My husband is doing his part by only eating Cheerios. This is what brought me […]

some quick (local) hits

Oh hi, remember back in the day when I wrote and posted things here? Me too. Let me live vicariously through you! Here are two local events I am unable to attend because of work but would love to go were I available. The First Annual Olivewood Gardens and Learning Center Fundraiser is October 1-3 […]

new food friday 09.17.10

I remembered! Do you ever make impulsive purchases? I imagine most people’s impulse buys are candy in the checkout lane or magazines or something. Me? Chia seeds. Yep, like the Chia Pet. Chia seeds can be used like poppy seeds in baking, added to oatmeal, granola, or smoothies, and according to Wikipedia are sometimes added […]

csa share 09/15/10

It’s amazing what you can do with an extra hour of time in the morning! We open on Sunday which should free up some more daylight hours for me to cook, bake, take photos, and actually post. I’m excited and hope you are, too! CSA arrivals from Wednesday (starting with the phallic ones for the […]

If you think back to New Food Friday, you may remember some nice red quinoa (“keen-wa”) and a brief mention of a salad I had used it in. Whether you were waiting for it, or if you voted for a quinoa post next on my Facebook page, or you just need a good lunch recipe, […]

homemade vegetarian banh mi, a cautionary tale

Have you ever tried bánh mì? I’ve also heard them called Vietnamese baguettes or just Vietnamese sandwiches, and that’s what they are. “Bánh mì” translates to “bread,” the most important component of these delicious sandwiches. Vietnam was a French colony (French Indochina), so these sandwiches combine the two food traditions. A crisp bread roll is […]

csa share 09/01/10

The abundance of our CSA box made me so happy this week. We picked it up on Wednesday as usual but I haven’t been home during daylight hours for my little bi-weekly photo shoot. It’s strange that the first week of September is giving us such “summery” foods. Everyone else is talking about fall, and […]

new food friday 09.03.10

We also got our CSA share this week but I just managed to take pictures (curse you, working during all daylight hours!) so those will go up today, too. When I started my new job a few weeks ago, one of my coworkers mentioned that she hates to cook. Shocking, I know, but completely true. […]
