My housemate making coffee cupping style. This is mostly because we don't have any non-espresso coffee making devices in our apartment but also because it's a simple, no frills way to make a damn...
Some scenes to show you what I've been up to with friends and food: A friend's homemade lamb burgers The few lone pieces left from a tomato basil pizza
At this point I've included the "I'm an incompetent blogger" statement in more than a few posts. I've been neglecting this blog a lot and I get around to posting more and more infrequently as time...
This time of the year some of our best kitchen experiments are conjured up at night - or maybe not at night, but definitely in the dark. That said, I haven't had a lot of natural lighting to get...
Time to finally spare you from another biscotti recipe. Yes, I do have a third recipe photographed and ready to post, but it's really not necessary. I'll put it in the archives for now. Instead...
Not to bore you with repeat recipes, but it appears that I cannot bake anything but biscotti right now. It's the exact feeling of needing to listen to a song on repeat. Eventually it will lose its...
Never have I looked at a log of biscotti and thought "Yeah, I wanna put that in my face." Never, until last week. Where the switch took place in my craving motherboard, I'm not sure, but it...
As a blogger it's hard to avoid feeling like a squirrel, frantically gathering and storing the url's of beautiful, nourishing blogs over the span of a year in preparation for the winter: the end of...
On first touch I burnt my thumb trying to press into the hard crust to make a break in the baguette I had just taken out of the oven. Anxious, I shook my hand, blew cool air onto my skin, and tried...
Dad always got the burnt cookies. In our family it was standard practice to set off the smoke detector during the baking process: the first batch was unevenly baked because we never waited to...
Food Illustration #2 - Tortellini Cooked in Wine Moving into a new apartment in a new city means a lot of rice, beans, pasta, and wine because a) they're simple foods that don't require a lot of...
As you can see, this stew was filled with turkey. While I do consider myself primarily a veghead, I don't believe in wasting food - meat or not. This Thanksgiving I knew it was my duty to...
The notorious, never-ending Thanksgiving leftover sandwiches don't have to be limited to lunch... I'm sure you probably want leftovers for at least two meals per day, right? No worries, I...
Congratulations everyone, we have successfully entered the season of gluttony! Last night I ate more dessert than anything else on my plate and, well, I have no other choice than to be proud of it....
The last thing you need right now is another Thanksgiving recipe, so here's another Thanksgiving recipe: Individual Pumpkin Cheesecakes with Coconut Cream Sauce In the blog world every holiday...
Rifling through a wicker basket containing fabric that has collected over the years, I finally found the huge piece of basic black cotton fabric I had bought on sale at G Street Fabrics in DC years...
Illustration and artwork has been a reoccurring idea for the blog, but it's not like I sat down and thought about how cute an illustration for today's post would be. I am glad I got around to...
Well my orange juice looks green... As winter creeps closer and the temperatures drop I can feel my body craving more proteins and fats to make up for the extra hours and calories I spend shivering...
As I mentioned in previously, I have been sewing. I've had Pattern Making For Fashion Design on my shelf for years. I'll admit when I first got the book I didn't understand anything and I tried to...
I made chocolate cupcakes with chocolate ganache for an election party tonight because I voted for Obama. Hey, it was either that or make blue cupcakes and I have no blueberries or blue dye. I'm...
When is the last time you thought about Iceland? Oddly, I've found that a lot of people don't think about Iceland too much. Maybe it's not that odd. I spend a lot of time thinking about Iceland,...
I've always been uncomfortable in front of cameras and growing up I was always shy, so combine that with the wide world of the internet and you can see why the idea of posting photos of myself is...
Okay, maybe world peace is a little drastic, but it's true that the scent of fresh baked bread has been proven to cause changes in attitude and temperament, making people more concerned with the...
Of course safety is everyone's first priority as the hurricane inches closer, only hours from New York and the surrounding east coast states, but there has been a lot of blog optimism and support...
I have taken it upon myself to bake almost entirely small batch recipes. I must have recently hit another seven year mark when I'm told my taste buds will decide to shake things up, because I can't...
One would think this is a fat and juicy burger smothered with a heap of melting cheese, but if you are one to think that, you are wrong. What you see here is a tiny, juicy black bean burger with a...
The first few days of fall have crept up and BOOM, everyone is sick. Friends are sick, family members are sick, and apparently everyone on facebook is sick. Maybe it's because the school season has...
There were only a few ingredients and I lost my "official" copy of the recipe. It's terrible. I can give you the recipe and I can guarantee it will taste delicious because it is made up of basic...
