Seriously you guys, with the opening of Trader Joe’s last weekend, my refrigerator wine holder has taken on a new and vital role. This can’t be good.
I Need Help.
Quick Spaghetti with a Fresh Tomato Sauce
You guys, it’s so hot here that when I went outside to check on the garden this morning, at least 15 ripe tomatoes had their sad little viney hands reaching up to me, begging through tears to be picked and taken indoors to a cooler, safer world. One plant even had a little boombox busting […]
New Potatoes with Onions and Sausage
Over the weekend I met a girlfriend at her pool in an attempt to bring my body temperature down to a more tolerable degree. After a quick dip in the blue tub of serenity, we hopped out, set up camp on 2 lounge chairs and started to catch up. The only problem was that I […]
Trader Joe’s Dinner Party! (Joe Not Included)

OMG!

Indian-Spiced Yellow Wax Beans with Black Quinoa
Yesterday I picked up some yellow wax beans at the farmer’s market, with zilchy ideas of what to do with them. I even asked the seller and his response sounded like he was gurgling cough syrup. “Uhh, okay, that sounds great!” I said. I walked away quickly, frightened, and alone. But thanks to your suggestions […]
