Though I don’t have much to say today, I wanted to go ahead and share with all of you the recipe for whole wheat garlic knots that I promised to share in my last post. To keep it short, their recipe is that of a basic pizza dough. You roll out the dough flat, cut it […]
Let’s talk about butter beans. Most people know these fellows as lima beans. Yes, I know that many of you are probably giving an inward groan right now, but here me out! Lima beans (or butter beans, as I know them better) really aren’t all that bad. They have very tender skins and soft, creamy […]
Some food combinations are classics and some are downright weird. Peanut butter and jelly is a classic, chocolate and mint is a classic, salmon and dill is a classic, pumpkin pie and banana cream pie is downright weird. Pumpkin pie and banana cream pie may sound like a strange combination, but seriously, it’s good. If […]
Today’s post is going to be a bit long, so bear with me. A while back, my oven met with a tragedy… I had preheated the oven and was rolling out dog biscuits when I noticed a strange glow emanating from the oven door. At first, I thought I had left on the oven light, but a […]
Rain, rain, rain. I love rain dearly–the moody atmosphere, the guttural thunder, the edgy lightning; but the dark cloud cover can sometimes impede on my natural light… Unfortunately, this has been the case for the past few days, and every attempt in a new post has ended with photos of unfocused dishes with unnatural golden hues. Thankfully, I […]
It’s funny how new things can change your perspective. For instance, ever since I’ve become a sort of “amateur food photographer/stylist” I’ve begun to look at photography in a completely new light. Another example is the book I’ve been reading, Figures of Speech. It’s the most witty, novel book written by Arthur Quinn (most certainly worth […]
What does one eat when one’s braces are tightened? Well, first of all, one disregards the sultry, summer heat; and makes a rich, hearty soup (as a side note, I did eat it at room temperature). I used to not be much of a soup person, but I have gradually learned to love them, though mainly […]
Before we talk about rice, I need to say a few things about the Olympians. First, congratulations, Michael Phelps, for a job well done–you’re pretty darn amazing. Second, the USA’s women gymnasts are incredible. Third, May-Treanor and Walsh? Congrats for holding your own against the Chinese–they were tough opponents. Fourth, good job Missy Franklin; you’re on […]
Today is a Twilight Zone day. I’ve never really watched the Twilight Zone before (except for a few minutes here and there when I was younger, which admittedly unnerved me), but it’s quite good. They remind me a great deal of Lovecraft–who I have grown fond of–so it makes sense that I find them enjoyable. I […]
Alas, gone are my lazy summer days! Days for aimless ponderings and thoughtful musings, romantic novels and suspenseful novellas, and other hours spent in contemplation of new and exciting recipes. But that’s okay, I’m glad to say that I love my studies; and they come as no bore or burden to me. We’ll just have to see if […]
