Beyonce, girlfriend, forget rings. You and I have got to talk about fried eggs. Especially this one. Because there’s this woman Deb, she runs an excellent website, and she has a recipe I think you will like– because see that glossy, fried golden egg on top of it all? This is a recipe all the […]

You will never want noodles again. Fine Cooking’s Chicken Soup with Lime and Hominy. Yum doesn’t even begin to describe it.
I made the following changes. (What? Me, leave a recipe all on its own?) I let the chicken dry-season with the salt, pepper, and oregano called for in the recipe while I sauteed the onion, […]

The new drugs I’m on kill my appetite.
Kill. I have no sense of fullness until– boom– I’m suddenly nauseous– and if I eat something too sweet, it gets my gag on something fierce.
There’s a post I’ve been working on– badly– forever, it seems, about food and control and issues of fatness and thinness and all […]

So– say you’ve been sick for a while– a never-ending cold that dragged on for a month, your cyclical spring depression and a brief, scary manic burst of irrational rage, various family things going on, etc., and you’ve also got to work and get up every day and at least pretend to the outside world […]

Pics, ’cause it happened.

Holy crap, y’all. I cooked twice this week and not only lived to tell the tale, I also took pictures. After all of the working I’ve been doing, this hit the spot.
See? See? It’s true! The cook thing in my screen name isn’t all a vile lie. Pinky-swear.
This is roughly– very– based on this recipe from […]

So, there’s this “cook” thing in my screen name. And I do it, sometimes. Amazing, I know.
Et voila, proof of the photographic variety, because you’re all no, we do not believe it. All you do is bitch about people without their receipts. Because you’ve never lost one piece of paperwork in your life.
So. Recipes, of a sort.

I mean… look at him. Do I even need to add words?
He’s teething, and yet he was soooo good when I walked him around the block a few times while his Mom was getting her back cracked. He’s so smiley and … gah. Just adorable. (Although, not having to change his diaper and his actually eating […]

There are a variety of things we’d stopped doing as a couple, one of which was Road Trips. Not every weekend, but many, the BH and I used to just go for a drive and see where we landed. It’s not great for the planet, sure, but it was good for us. We listened to […]

Okay– I admit that my fridge and pantry contain ingredients that are not “average.” But I still have to clean the sucker out and use food up before it goes bad. Times are tough, starving children in Africa, it’s a sin to waste food, or you’re just a cheap Yankee like me– any way you […]
