happy new year’s eve eve

I don’t usually make resolutions for the New Year, because I feel like they will fail.  And besides, all the things I do want to resolve to do this year should just be done because I need to do them, not because they are a “New Year resolution”.
So I thought of a kind of good [...]

impromptu calzone

Jeez– I have been terrible at writing entries on here.  I’ve also been terrible at taking pictures of recent food concoctions.  And I’ve never been good at taking pictures of food in restaurants– I’m much too self-conscious– but this week I got to go to my favorite vegetarian (and mostly vegan) Chinese food restaurant in [...]

covelonian popcorn

The first time I had pot-popped popcorn was when the summer before I turned sixteen, in a small town called Covelo, California.  It seems like such a simple thing, but at fifteen, I’d only ever had popcorn from a bag and microwave.  My aunt and her live-in boyfriend at the time taught me how to [...]

Feelin’ good about good food. And a photo essay.

If I can just toot my own horn for a moment, I’d like to say that the past few days were days of success regarding my ‘I’m hungry and tired so here’s some dinner real quick’ method of cooking.  On Tuesday, we ate this:

It wasn’t anything special, but completely accidentally Mexican-inspired on Cinco de Mayo.  [...]

Barbequed Tofu

Man– today is gloomy, gloomy, gloomy.  I was not in the mood to cook, so Phil made some quick spaghetti from a jar before heading over to band practice.  All in all, however, aside from this weekend, I’ve been doing fairly well on my 30 day challenge, with some amendments: I am still eating soy, [...]

Dinner is my favorite meal of the day.

Yesterday was Easter, true, but Phil and I don’t celebrate it and don’t have kids, so we just spent it hanging out with our friend Jay. I wanted to buy some soil for the container garden, so I made them come to Lowes with me (made isn’t the right word. Lowes is like [...]
