BLT Pizza

I’m on the verge of spontaneous combustion right now. Why yes, I can predict and plan my own spontaneity. That’s one of the perks of being a sanguine Leo/Virgo cusp monster. Of course there are other perks, such as eyes in the back of my head (fine, they’re cross-eyed) and ninja-like shredding paper skills, but […]

Beer-Steamed Clams

clams8-2

Doesn’t beer-steaming sound like the most wonderful thing on Earth? (But first, a quick apology at how blurry these photos are. It was pouring rain and my hair was on fire and I think my neurological system was experiencing some malfunctions.) That said, I seriously think I could beer-steam everything ever. Beer-steamed chicken? Why not? […]

O Rigaromeo, Rigaromeo, wherefore art thou Rigaromeo? Deny thy flavor and refuse thy taste? Or if thou wilt not, but be sworn my appetite. And I’ll no longer be starving.   (Rigaromeo, aside:) Shall I cook more, or shall I tempt at this?   ‘Tis but thy make that is my enemy. Thou art thyself, […]

Since the stupid stubborn snow refuses to melt, me thinks the clear solution is creamy potato soup. Look, I don’t want to get all annoyingly weather-obsessed on ya, but I’ve taken a peepsie into the long ranger forecast and me thinks we’re bound for some serious melting. Me also thinks that it’s probably the grossest […]

Vegetarian Barley Toss

Taste the rainbow? Wait, don’t sue me! Actually, let me try to come up with my own new colorful, healthy slogan, eh!? Okay, here goes: “Taste all that color, chach mcgrach.” Ehhh, boring. “It’s like eating crayons, but not as waxy.” Why do I kind of like that?   “Because sweating in Hypercolor is sexy.” […]

March Madness is about to be up. in. herrrrrrrrrr. Which I guessing most of your jaws just fell off their hinges and landed in your laps at my enthusiasm over this. “THAT girl likes sports?
